MRS, CHADWICK
TWICE INDICTED
Troubles Continue to Multiply For
Female Napoleon of Finance.
TWO COUNTS CHARGE FORGERY
Statement is Made That She VIII
Give Up the Fight in New York
and Return to Cleveland and
Face Charges.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 13.--Trouble for
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick increased at
4 rapid rate Monday. She was twice
indicted by the grand jury of Cuya-
aoga county, and her old-time friend,
[ri Reynolds, took the stand in court,
and made evident his intention to
shield and protect her 40 longer. The
aged secretary of the Wade Park bank
presented a pathetic picture as he an
swered question after question, which
brought out his own implicit faith in
he woman whose financial transact
ions have well nigh ruined him in
fortune and caused him such infinite
trouble. He gave evidence, too, that
he still believes his trust was justified
Only n query he attempted to evaue
This was when ne was asked how
much of his personal estate had passed
into the possession of Mrs. Chadwick
His eyes filled, and he requested THAI
he be excused from answering. The
question was not pushed.
The formal indictments voted
against Mrs. Chadwick, Monday after
noon, are based, one upon the Carne-
gle note for $3.50, 1000, which was made
payable at the Office of Andrew Car
uegie in New York city, and the Other
upon the Carnegie note for $500, 900
which was payable at the National
Bank of Commerce in New York. I'm
der each indictment are two counts
n charging forgery, the other utter
ing of forged paper.
Information of the indictments was
1t once wired to New York by Coun-
~ Prosecutor Keller, and he requested
that Mrs. Chadwick be Immediately re-
arrested if she secured bail on the 9TH
er charges hanging over her.
The examination of ri Reynolds
treasurer and secretary of the Wade
Park bank, before Referee Remington
in the bankruptcy court, failed to dis
close any asset that might be secured
by Receiver Loeser, appointed by the
federal court, but brought from Mr.
Reynolds, in reply to questions, "She
told me she was the illegitimate
laughter of Andrew Carnegie"
Later, Mr.. Reynolds, in detailing his
transactions with Mrs. Chadwick, said:
I'm all my transactions with Mrs
Chadwick, I believed from what she
told nj that Andrew Carnegie was
backing her, and her Indebtedness
would be paid" He then added, "Ant
| have not had anything yet to make
me doubt it."

turn to Cleveland Wednesday.
New YorE, Dec. 13.-Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick was overwhelmed by the de-
velopments of her case in Cleveland
Monday, and the statement was made
by one close to her that she would
probably give UP the fight here and re-
turn to Cleveland Wednesday night in
the custody of United States officers.
She did not anticipate the double in
dictment which was found against her
by the Cuyahoga county grand jury,
after the failure of the Lorain county
grand jury to find probable cause of
action.
Mrs. Chadwick is of the opinion that
if she must face these charges, she
will be far better off in her home city
than in New York. 1t is known that
her counsel have strongly advised
against this course of procedure, but
Mrs. Chadwick insists that she be Civ
ell free rein.

and lasted about two hours. Hundreds
of police and mounted gendarmes who

Moscow station to the Neva, has the
Russian capital lived through such a
day of excitement as this. The author
