Chadwick Settlement Is Now
Impossible
SENSATION IS PREDICTED
Nothing in Sight but Promises and As

New York, Dec 7.--Andrew Squire,
the Cleveland attorney who came TO New
York with Ira Reynolds and who saw
Mrs. Chadwick at the New Amsterdam
this forenoon, late this afternoon, said;
i am not now nearly SO confident OF
a settlement of the claims against Mrs.
Chadwick az ! was before / saw her to-
day. 1 do not think now that a settle
ment is possible, and perhaps know as
much as anyone else about her affairs |
Was once her counsel in Cleveland.
am utterly unable to make anything OF
Mrs. Chadwick, or 70 get any clear, def
mite statement of her resources or what
she proposes TO do. We have nothing
but assurances and promises as to how
and when she will pay these claims. I
am as much in the clouds as you can be-
Claims representing hundreds Of thou.
sands Of dollars have been placed in my
hands for collection, but unless very
prominent man involved in this case
comes to the front Immediately for Mrs
Chadwick, as he has promised the at
torneys Of Banker Newton he would do,
can see no settlement in sight.
One Of the prominent men from Ohio,
now in New York, said this forenoon;
"In a day or two revelations will be
made which will show this TO be the
most colossal affair of the century. Five
prominent New York men, whose names
have not yet been mentioned, will be
involved as deeply as Mrs. Chadwick.
Al number of wealthy and prominent
Western men will also be dragged into
the case and numerous prosecutions will
follow. These facts win be made pub
lie through the grand jury investigation
which begins at Elyria, O., tomorrow"
Andrew Carnegie said today that he
had not the slightest intention OF pros
eeuting anybody for forging his sigma
ture to notes, even If further inyestiga
ton showed that such forgery has been
committed.
! The disappearance oE Receiver Lyon,
of the Oberlin Bank, and Fri Reynolds,
Of the Wade Park Bank, caused com.
ment in New York today. One report
said that they had returned to Cleve-
land on night train. Another report
was that they went to quiet hotel and
would call on Andrew Carnegie today
with the two notes for $4,000 which

Ivan. A feature of this note is the
fact that the date, figures and sigma
lures are all in the same handwriting,
while the words two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars were evidently writ
ten by another person. Following Is
the wording Of the note:

from the published fac.similles Of Mr.

this note is now in the possession OF
Receiver Lyons OF the closed Citizens
