Oberlin, ONO, Dec. lV. - Ine con-
fession of President Beckwith of the
wrecked Citizens National bank, now
in possession Of the Federal authori-
ties, is story SO startling with rela-
ton to the monumental transactions Of
Mrs. Chadwick as to be almost unbe-
lievable The unequivocal statement Is
made that the means by which Mrs.
Chadwick secured immense loans was
by a written promise to deliver into
hands Of the banker and that the Citi-
zens' bank would be made the trustee
of a $5,000,OOO estate which has just
been revealed to the world as an abso-
lue myth, The written promise deliv-
cred by Mrs. Chadwick to Beckwith
was to the effect exactly that her af-
fairs would be turned over to the OBJ
erlin bank in July 1, 1908. In consfd-
Ter Spear were to receive $4,000 each
year for their trouble. In addition the
bank was to be given bonus of forty
thousand dollars when the loans had
all been paid back. Mrs. Chadwick
calmed the fears of her victims with
the claim that she was relative Of
Andrew Carnegie. The written con-
fession of Beckwith goes in to detail
of the explanation made by Mrs. Chad
wick as to the manner in which the
estate was then being handled.
The Wade Park Banking Company,
of Cleveland, was used simply as a
depository for the securities, according
to the tale of the woman, made the
by Mrs. Chadwick to be in the hands
of three trustees, all New York men.
The name of one of them was given
as William Baldwin. Mrs. Chadwick
said she could not get hold of the
money except thru Baldwin, whom the
banker now believes to be Michael
Person. Baldwin attended to all bus
ness of handling interest from bonds
and turned it over to Mrs. Chadwick
as it became due. The bankers We're
told the yearly income was 100000.
In relation to Endorsement of notes by
Beekwith and Spear, the story from
the banker goes on to relate that the
notes We're indorsed only as last re-
course in a desperate chase for funds.
He confessed that he had intended to
attempt to negotiate loans upon the
note. but his nerve failed him. The
Endorsements were put on to make the
paper more bankable. The confession

Cleveland, Dec. 10.--The Plaindealer
says: when the contents of the mys-
terious securities held for Mrs Cas-
sic l.. Chadwick by Iri Reynolds in the
Wade Park Bank are revealed to the
world 1t will be found the signature of
Andrew Carnegie has apparently been
forged on notes and other papers to a
total amount of $13,750,000. Securities
held by Reynolds, together with those
that were held by the Citizens Nation
al bank OF Oberlin. and have already
been made public. aggregate this a

Securities consisting Of note for
flve million and certificate of trus-
teeship which states that Carnegie has
in his. possession stocks and bonds to
the amount of seven and a half million
dollars held by him in trust for Mrs.
Chadwick, both bearing the signature
of Carnegie, have been for the past
three years the principal basis on
which Mrs. Chadwick has borrowed
sums which 1t is conceded run up to
millions. And these same securities
are the rock which has wrecked the
Oberlin bank and caused the ruin OF
hundreds of families and losses to bus
mess men almost without number. For
1t is the frankly expressed opinion of
reputable lawyers who have examined
these papers that they are not worth
one cent. i.
Moreover. there Is bitter irony In
the fact that Iri Reynolds, who held
this worthless paper SO faithfully and
tenaciously for Mrs. Chadwick, and
who apparently believed In Its worth
so implicitly and thru whom others
were perhaps innocently, drawn into
the vortex of Mrs. Chadwick's opera
tions, should be himself one of the
heaviest losers. 1t is stated as a fact
that Reynolds loaned Mrs. Chadwick
practically all the money he possessed.
