 Asked as to the transactions subse- uuent to 1908, MT. Reynolds said:
 ssrhere ia one, a little banking secret, hut I'm willing to tell all. She came to me. think it was in 1904, and said she had sI2.UoO In papef payable at the Prudential Trust Company, If would let her have the money she would put up U. s. steel bonds in the morning as collateral consuited my committee and with their consent loaned her the money. The next day she brought a package which she said contained s2oo,0o0 in U. s. Steel bonds and a 3250.Ooo certificate which I was to hold in trust for her under the same conditions as the previous package. held these until a month ago when in the presence of several gentlemen they were opened. It was about the time MT. Newton began his suit. They con- tained bonds all right, but they were not steel bonds.
 When asked what they were. MT. Reynolds said: There were five s1.Ooo bonds of the Home Telegraph Company of Niagara, N. Y., and six certificates of the Buckeye Fish Company" Just before he was appointed custo- dian of this last package MT. Reynolds said Mrs. Chadwick came to the bank contained steel bonds. There was as many as you could carry in your two arms" he said '.She left them In the vault and when she returned from Eu- rope she took them away. saying she had been advised to put such vast amount of valuable paper in better vault"
 MT. Reynolds understood she was to | take them to New York or Pittsburg. Two Million in vault. At one time she said she made writ l ten statement to his committee that she had over s2,000,o00 in bonds In the safety deposit vault in the Wade Park Bank. ,e.-t Repeated efforts on Mir, Reynolds's part to close up the dealings with Mrs. 1 Chadwick met with excuse and delay. He was put off time after time, yet did | not lose confidence. He had confident | ly believed everything would be paid up to week ago, and had no suspi- | cion of anything wrong until few days before Newton brought his suit Then his attorney. MT. Carver of Bos- ton called at the Wade Park Bank and l said he understood he held some steel securities of Mrs. Chadwick's and show | ed him a paper assigning all her right | and title in Reynolds holdings. k. l Several notes of t10.000 each, payable | to pr. Chadwick had been taken up by Mir. Reynolds. He declared they were payable out of any moneys that l might have been on credit to Mrs 1 Chadwick in the First National Bank l of Cleveland on August 20. Some of | these were paid and in February or
 March, 1904, money was placed to her l credit in this bank. Mir. Reynolds | thought money came from the East to l pay all these and felt assured that
 what he held was all right.
 | He was further assured when Judge | Olcott of New York came to Cleveland | and was introduced to him over the | telephone by Mrs. Chadwick. Judge | Olcott assured him that he would re- lieve Mrs. Chadwick from her unen- viable position. He knew Judge Olcott was here because he was assured by l check for $500 signed by Judge Olcott l he received the next day.
 | He last saw her November 10. She desired to go East and had no money. He cashed a check on the Lincoln Trust | Company of New York. It was return l ed marked account closed" He took if out of the Wade Park Bank, paid t and has 1t in his possession. He
 brought the Newton debt to her atten- | tion and advised her to go East and
 raise the money and settle the wnole
 affair, and he thought she went East | to see Andrew Carnegie.

 Mir Reynolds came away from New
 York he said. because he did not have
 money enough to stay there two hours
 ashe has fooled me and many men
 smarter than me; she has pulled wool
 over everybody's eyes" Then with
 faint smile as if the humor appealed
 to him despite his troubles. he said:
 'Once she wrote to me to ask if l
 needed hedp because of the run on the
 bank" --t
 Witness had seen no other notes. but
 had seen a check which was sent to
 his house when he was i'll. It was
 for 900 and had Andrew Carnegie's 8
 name signed to it. Whether any
 money was ever procured on 1t he did
 not know.
 As to the value of Mrs. Chadwick's $
 household fittings Mir. Reynolds
 thought they might be worth about
 s200. 900. He said he took chattel
 mortgage about two years ago but has
 never recorded 1t.
