THE CHADWICK BUBBLE.

The last vestige OF a pretense that there
could be anything to the case of Mrs. Chad
wick save cold-blooded and criminal
swindle is torn away by the identification
of the woman as an eX-convict. The identi-
ficaton was made by two woman attendants
at the prison where Mrs. Chadwick was
confined for an earlier forgery under the
name of Devere. These women visited her
in her cell i'll Cleveland and spoke to her as
Mrs. Devere and she made a practical con-
fessiOn by covering her face with her hands
to prevent their getting good look at her
That robs the case of the last rag or shred
of possible mystery. The woman is pro-
fessional forger who has served one term
and on her release has found fresh set of
dupes by appealing to their cupidity and
other weaknesses in behalf of some crude
and impossible forgeries of the name of
Andrew Carnegie. The slightest inquiry,
single letter or telegram, would have ex-
posed the prepOsterOus story which the wom-
an told. But Beckwith and Reynolds
made no investigation. They believed her
she had promised them golden wealth out
of the Golconda fortune which she shook
before their dazzled eyes If anything
could add to the contempt which one feels
for men in their position who helped on so
preposterous a sWindle it would be the pitt
able appeal of Beckwith to the woman in
her cell to ''teli ALL" The poor fool does
not seem to realize even yet that there is no
'salP' except his ''all" and the call" of the
Oberlin Bank, which he allowed to be swept
into the NAV of a convicted forger and vul-
gar Jailbird just because she wore petit
coats. The whole story is enough to sicken
one with human nature. But at least Rey-
nolds and Beckwith have got no more than
their deserts. If Mrs Chadwick now gets
hers the cause of stern justice will do some
thing to mitigate the disgust that such
credulnus fools can climb into places of re-
Onsibility.-Brookly Eagle.
