BECKWITH in THE DEAL.

L. Chadwick's home was nothing
better than q brothel, and her en-
tourage was largely composed oi
French dancing girls and Oriental
couchee-c -couchee hour, who posed
as servants.
son one trip to Europe she took
with her the Innocent daughter OF
a supposedly wealthy mercl ant
And later that merchant used to
call day after day at the Chad
wick home, weeping and kneeling
down and pleading with Mrs.
Chadwick so piteously that it
made ones bealt sick to hear him.
"The woman would laugh at his
distress after he had gone"
This is the statement of Mrs.
George Somers, who before her
marriage was a maid in Mrs.
Chadwick's employ. She is the
"Della" heretofore referred to in
newspapers.
"Mrs. Chadwick never missed
an opportunity to get acquainted
with young girls, and she won
their confidence with presents and
with outings which were paid for
at her expense-so far as the
world knew.
"It is also shown that, far from
being spendthrlft, except when
she was assured of large returns
for her outlay, she was something
of a miser, who boarded gold and
jewels, and gloated over them.
OF all servants, "Della" was
the only one who did not fear Mrs.
Chadwick, it appears. The form
er maid is a young woman and
good looking. Her character is of
the best, and her associations, ex-
cept while in service in Euclid ave-
nue., have always been respectable.
She quit that service out of self
respect, she declares, and her story
is generally believed.
Mrs. Somers has been interview
ed and she spares neither her
former mistress nor DR.. Chadwick
himself. She has no word of good
for any members of the family ex-
cept the Doctors daughter by a
former marriage, to whom she re-
fers as ''sweet young girl"
''I believe implicitly that Bank
er Iri Reynolds has been chief in
all of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick 3

these vast sums of money" de-
clared the maid. III know" she
continued, "that for long, long
time he has been such a frequent
caller at her house that he was
about like one of the family, and
almost invariably she would re-
ceive him in her sleeping apart
ments, which she designated as
her boudoir, for hours at a time.
81 know that on such occasions,
and hundreds of similar ones,
when she received men of stand
ing and high position-and there
were many of them-in her bou-
doir, she would order her husband
and me to 60 to some other part
of the mansion until whoever her
caller happened to be had taken
his departure.
''I know that when Iri Rey.
nolds's daughter was married Mrs
Chadwick purchased in Paris, al
an enormous expense, the brides

"She has shown me many tir
boxes and small steel chests fille6
with gold and paper money ant
bonds, or with set and unset jewels
Of almost priceless value, which
she kept concealed in impregnabl'
places somewhere in the big Chad
wick mansion.

high standing, have come into he
house, and have seen them weel
and grovel at her feet as the,

One of the men who used to cal
often, and to plead most desperate
ly with her was an Elyria man.
"On the surface smiling, ur
