Cleveland, O., Nov. 30---Every hour
increases the surprise and bewilder-
ment Of the citizens OF Cleveland and
adjacent Ohio cities over the sensa-
tional revelations In the career of Mrs.
Cassie l.. Chadwick Wife OF pronli-
nent Cleveland physician. whose mar
sums OF money from banks and f1nan-
cial kings, which she Is unable to pay
today, has startled every business
community in the country.
In the labyrinth OF mystery, suspic-
ion and charges which entangle the
leader of Cleveland society in this
crisis of her eveutful career, the friends
OF the woman do not know which way
to turn to be convinced. and they have
decided to await developments, hop
ing for the best, yet fearing the
worst.
Whether the financial trouble into
which the woman has been plunged by
the suit OF Herbert b. Newton, OF
Boston, to recover $180,S00. will re-
suit In an exposure of the mysterious
wealth in securities that Mrs. Chad
wick has claimed to possess, but new
er shown, there is some doubt, as she
is in New York straining all her infip-
rs ,fr,a with xyhfrh n
the Boston creditor in order to stop
the suit.
Hearing of Case Goes Over.
Yesterday the Newton suits were to
come up for hearing In the common
pleas court, but by agreement of attor-
neys on both sides, after a conference
with the woman In New York, the case
was continued until Thursday morning
BY that time, 1t Is believed, Mrs.
Chadwick will have secured cash to
pay Mr.. Newton.
What development will follow in the
event of Mrs. Chadwick's ability to
open the Golfers Of another bank Is as
much of an enigma as the puzzle OF
her past history, which seems like
fairy tale.

land law firm Carr. Stearns & Cham
berlain, which is representing Banker
Newton in the Chadwick suit. left for
New York in response to a telegram
from his client to participate In con-
ference with Mrs. Chadwick and her
attorneys today. 1t was stated late
last night in the Offices of Carr,
Stearns & Chamberlain that settle
ment of the Newton claim is possible
before Thursday morning. This state
ment was made on the strength Of adj
vices reported to have come from New
York that a representative Of Mrs.
Chadwick will arrive here Thursday
prepared to make settlement.
Fear Securities Worthless.
Following the sensational collapse OF
the Citizens National bank Of Oberlin
because of its heavy loans and the
loans Of it's president, G. Z. Beckwith,
to Mrs. Chadwick, 1t was revealed to-
day that the 100000 note deposited III
the Oberlin bank as security for Mrs.
Chadwick's loans bears the signature
of one Of Americas greatest financial
kings. The indorser Of this note is re-
ported to be Andrew Carnegie, and
publication Of this report connecting
the name Of the great flnancier with
that of Mrs. Chadwick has created
CONSERVATION turnout the country.
Those who believe that Mrs. Chad
wick will prove to the same Elizabeth
Bigley who was tried for forgery when
q girl in Woodstock, Canada, and who
later in Toledo under the name of Nine.
Devere was convicted for forgery and
sentenced to a term In the penitentiary,
fear that the mysterious securities Will
prove worthless, when they are re-
vealed.
Have Faith in Her Power.
