WOMAN DEFIANT: MAN HAD TO SHOUT Attorney for Newton Again Ex presscs Confidence That CHcht* Will Get All His Money Back?Receiver Has Taken No Ac? tion. fBy Amoclat^d Pre??.) IrCEW YOliK, December 3.-The finan? clal affalrs of Mrs. Caesle L. Chadwick wero further compllcated" to-day by tho tettuance of an attachment against her property for $1,367.60 on behalf ot a flrm of mllltnors of thls clty. The appllcation waa made by a lawycr, Theodore II. Frlend. on tho ground that MrH. Chad? wick I* a dobtor and Is not a resldcnt of. thls State. The writ was Issiied by Jus ttce Conlan, of tho Clty Court. Writ of Attachment Served. The wrlt of attachment against Mrs. Chatlwlck's persoiial property, was servcd upon the clerk and manager of the Hol land Houso thls ' afternoon. Lawyer Frlend holds that thls was sufllcient to act as a gervice, and would prevent Mrs. Ohi f vick from romovlng.ony of her per boolJ property from the hotel. "There Is absolutcly nothing to prevent Mrs. Cassle L. Chadwick from leaving tho Holland Houee wlth her baggoge, if she sees flt," Bald Phlllp Carpentor, cotineel for Mrs. Chadwick to-nlght, when fteked concernlng the report that a writ of attachment had been served. "The papers were servcd, on the man? ager of the hotel aud not.on my cllont personally, and that fact rondcrx the eervico null and void. As a matter of fact. Mrs. Chadwick had no intention of leaving New York for a few days, but there would be no Icgai objection lf she naw flt, accordlng to my vlew of tho law." In contradlctlon to the staternent ot Mr. Carpentor, Deputy Sheriff Frank C. Jtlnn said to-nlght that he served the attachment on Mrs, Chadwick personally to-day. after flrst serving lt on a clerk nnd Manager Harrtman, of the Holland Hous*. Rinn says thal he was permitted to go tb^the'Tn^WlcirKr^rrH'ehttT-whero he found Mrs. Chadwick rccllnlng Oh a couch. Owlng to her deflance. Klnn says We was obllged to cafrj* on a converSatlon i na loud voico. When he made hls er rand known the deputy says Mrs. Chad a table beslde her. Ho contlnued: "I then seaa-chea thfe rooms as well as I could, but all I -could flnd there was a small hand-bag and 'the woman's hat and "VVis havo been Informed that Mr*. Chad'wlck has changed her apartments in the Holland House thfee tlroes. Wc belleve that tho hand-bag that I found in hor room does not oohstttute all hor of fects." Shadowed by Detectives. A story was publlshed In an evening paper to the ?ffect that several detectives nlloged to be ln the enrrploy of a mllllon aire whoso name has been menticned in conneoUon wlth the Chadwick ca.?c, are. Bhauowing Mrs. Chadwick. Accordlng to thls rumor, two detectives are ln the Hol? land House ln the guise of patrons. whlte otlters are watchlng the oxlts and loung Ing about the corrldors. The hotel man agement ls quite unawaro of the alleged presence of doteotivc*. and it has been impossiblo to conftrm the story, George Ryall, iho New York attorney ; for Hernert D. Newton, gave out tlio etaloment to-day rega-rding tho sottle mtent of hls cllewt's clalm against Mrs. Chadwick: "1 am satlsfled that our clalm against Mrs. Chadwick will he paid. The settle ment wlll b? ln full ajid tn cash. Of oourse, -thero may not bo a full payment of Newton's clalm of J190.S00, because I-beliwo thero are some of the not'es held by Newton on which Mrs. Chadwick dld not get thelr full faco value, and, of course. deductlons wlll have to bt? made in such casea; but all tho Just and legal obUgtrtlons of jMrs. Chadwick to Newton ? ?will too mat by her In full a.nd wlth ensh otid by Mrs. Chadwick herself, regardless of the bankriipicy proceedlngs brought against he-r.ln Cleveland on Frlday." On Verge of Collapse. Mrs- Chadwick Is said to be ln a stato boTdoring on ulniost'total oollapse to nlght. The ndrvoua strain of the last ' few days has been so great thnt she ia reported as hysterlcal. Dr. Moore, who is hor New York medical nltendant, was caljed In to-nlght, and, atfter prescrlblng for her. said: "Mrs. Chadwick is sufforlng from noth? ing oxcept the norvous s-traln from which she has been undergolng. it ls no wonder that a woman of hor ago would glvo way. consldering What she has beton through lately. There ls, howeveri no constltu t-lonal trouble." Receiver Not Doing Anything. (By Aaaoclfttod Press-l ODErVRDAND, OHIO, December 3.-Tlio sult brought by Helrbert D. Newton, of Brookllno.
