PROVES A TARTAR Mrs. Chadwick Refuses to An swer Any Questions, SHE BAFFLES THE LAWYERS Pleads That Testimony in Bankrupt cy Case Might Incriminate Her in Criminal Cases Court Gives Up the Struggle. CLEVELAND, Or., Feb. 24. Smiling and thoroughly self-possessed throughout the proceedings, Mrs. Cassle L. Chadwick to day defied tho authority of the United States as vested In Referee Remington in the bankruptcy courts. J. P. Dawley, her attorney, at first stubbornly refused to al 1 w Mrs. Chadwick to be sworn, though the court peremptorily ordered her to rise -! take the oath. It was only after a c inference that she finally took the wit-ress-etand. Even then she refused to an swer questions, the only statement of consequence obtained from her being that y je had no personal property in Kew Tork. Mrs. Chadwick sought refuge in her privilege as an accused person, and she refused to answer most of the questions on the ground that what she said might tend to aid the prosecution of her In the criminal cases. Referee Remington found In h?r favor, although he insisted, against her counsel's wishes. In making her give a quasi explanation of her refusal. "My financial affairs are so cosely al ii d with the case in the Federal Court that anything affecting the one must r.ctessarlly affect the other," said Mrs. Chadwick, and the referee declared that that explanation of her position was as admirably expressed as it could be. "What they want is to get possession of j our information," stoutly declared At torney Dawley. on behalf of Mrs. Chad w!k. "They want a look at our hand. They are trying to ascertain our de fense. Now, if the Government will tip off its hand, we might arrange the deal." Acts on Counsel's Advice. Dawley frankly told the court that Mrs. Chadwick would be only following his adiice in refusing to be sworn. He said he did not intend to be discourteous to the referee, but he demanded the protec tion which ho said the Constitution gave his client. Attorney Grossman, for Trustee Loeser. Insisted on an examination, however, and Referee Remington Anally decided that Mrs. Chadwick would have to be sworn and take the witness-stand at last. "We are reliably informed, and we have reason to believe, that there is a large amount of property. Including big sums of money, that ought to bo In the hands of the trustee for the benefit of the cred itors, but "which are not," declared Gross man. "Yes, but you must not turn the bank ruptcy court into an instrument for pros ecution," said Dawley. Ho declared that the trustee had seized all Mrs. Chadwick's private papers, and turned over informa tion to the United States Attorney which had resulted in at least two, probably three, additional indictments. "It is the duty of every good citizen," raid Referee Remington, "to give the au thorities all the information in his pos session." Despite Dawley's objections and his irate declaratlpns that Mrs. Chadwick was being unjustly and im properly Imposed on, Mrs. Chadwick was forced to take the stand and be sworn. This sho did very gracefully, smiling pleasantly and cheerfully as the referee administered the oath. "I want to do all I can to aid the trustee and help the creditors." announced the witness before any questions had been asked. Refuses to Tell Her Name. So insistent had been Dawley's ob jections and so hot had been the fight over the introduction of the bankrupt's testimony, that an hour was consumed in getting the examination started. And then it struck a snag. At the out- eet, Mrs. Chadwick refused to give her name. It was in vain that Grossman declared ho had no designs of trapping the witness into an incriminating re ply. Mrs. Chadwick simply refused to say that she was Mrs. Cassie L. Chad wick, and smilingly persisted in that course. Referee Remington -vainly ap pealed to her. He went at length into Just what her privilege was and just what amounted to contempt of court. Mrs. Chadwick listened to all he had to cay, but his conviction moved her not a Jot. Finally, Remington grew ex asperated at her cheerful indifference. 'Js this by your advice?" he sternly Inquired of Dawley. "I refuBo to answer," was Dawley's reply. "Counsel can take care of him self," he added significantly. "I am Siot under obligations to disclose to anyone, not even a court, the nature of my professional advice to my client. Dawley frankly stated that he wished the court would commit Mrs. Chadwick to Jail for contempt and get the thing off his mind. Remington took Godded objection to this attitude, and . remarked that if Dawley persisted in It there would be trouble. Time Wasted in Wrangle. The whole examination was a series of Just such wrangles and disputes, Mrs. Chadwick answered a fewques tions, but her answers were remark ably free from Information. Finally the court and counsel on all sides agreed that the examination might just as well stop abruptly, because there was no hope of securing any in formation from the bankrupt. Ac c?rdingly, March 13 was set for a re sumption of the hearing, with tho un derstandlng that Mrs. Chadwick would testify freely on that date if the crim inal cases against her had been dis posed of by that time. Mrs. Chadwick today paid $3 from her own funds for a carriage to convey her from the County Jail to the Bank ruptcy Court, a distance of one block. She did this after unsuccessfully at tempting to compel the Federal au thorities to furnish a carriage. On the return trip to the Jail she walked.
