The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1904-12-22

'She stated to me that Emil
Hoover was not her son; that she
never had son, and the boy was
u son of DR.. Hoover by his first
wife.
"She laughed merrily when a
a run was started on savings
bank few years ago, and remark
ed that she had the officers of the
bank worried
81 see every day when 1 am
down town many, many big men
in their automobiles, in big stores
or banks or other institutions
whom l have seen time and time
again entering Mrs. Chadwick's
"boudoir," to emerge therefrom
with white faces and tears trick
ling down their cheeks.
II know that DR.. Chadwick was
sneak and told him so to his
face. He spent most of his time
in spying upon the servants, fol-
lowing them about noiselessly like
shadow, hopping in upon them
suddenly and listening to their
conversations so as to leain if they
had anything to say about trans
pirings In the house.
"The reason l quilted the EN-.
ploy of DR.. and Mrs. Chadwick
was because, not so very long ago,
she accused me of engaging in ar
intrigue with the doctor, to whom
| had been devoting my time as
nurse"
"Cleveland has made up it's
mind that no crime is so black
that the woman now in a Cleve-
land Jail is not capable of it. To
speak out would involve some OF
the most spotless names in Ameri.
ca.
Mrs. Chadwick is now under ar
rest charged with aiding and abet-
ting Others in paltry $4,000
swindle; but that is merely to hold
her, and when it comes to a show
down it may be that she will not
figure as principle. The vast
majority of people in Cleveland
and Oberlin have settled belief
that Reynolds and Beckwith were
in on her deals, and it is there the
authorities expect to locate the
"plant."
The fact that Mrs. Chadwick
was so anxious to return to Cleve-
land was taken by many to mean
that she wishes to get near her
hidden wealth, so that she can use
it in extricating herself from her
difficulties.
1t is expected that Mrs. Somers
will be leading witness for the
prosecution, and the authorities
hope, through her, to obtain other
Witnesses, many of them persons
of high standing.
GAS for money!" said the form
er maid, 81 believe she has an
enormous store of both money and
jewels. One day she showed me n
lot of tin boxes filled with gold
and paper money, and bonds, and
all that, and small steel safes full
of the most magnificent jewels,
and told me that all this wealth
was just as safe and as safely con-
cealed as it would be in any bank
vault"
And where is this money? Eth
er Mrs, Chadwick was a tool her.
self, the catspaw of. others who
duped her, or else she has it
"planted."
She did not expend it in riotous
living, although much of it might
have gone for jewels. To get rid
of SO, 600, 900 in the time limit she
would have had to part with more
than $4,000 day, an average OF
$125 an hour, 50 for every minute
of her life, waking and sleeping
Nobody doubts that she has
either the cash, or the "goods'
readily convertible into cash--she
and her confederates.
A well-known Cleveland banker
when he heard that Reynolds had
collapsed "after his four-fush was
called" said:
"He ought to collapse. ! hayt
not one spark of pity or sympathy
for him. / believe that othel
worthless Chadwick securities are
out, and that other vast sums o.
money have been obtained. Ant
