which was found against her by the

failure Of the I.orain county grand jury
to find probable cause of action.
Philip Carpenter of her counsel, when
questioned, Monday night, on the mat

Although it is the desire of the prose-
cutting attorney to secure an Indictment
for forgery he has arranged his evil
dence so as to cover pretty much all
manner of irregularities in financial
dealing and if vote against Mrs
Chadwick should be refused in any one
paticular instance he is confident of

The county prosecutor does not seek
indictments against people, other than
Carnegie notes. 1t is the opinion of the
attorneys familiar with Mrs. Chad
wick's affairs that she alone was con-
cerned in the preparation of these
papers. The trust agreement purpOrt-
ing to have been expected by Mr.. Car
negie was not written by any person
familiar with legal forms or verblage,
and the attorneys who have read the
document declare that t. the best of
their belief it was written by Mrs.

so far developed in any direction TO
show that she had accomplices.
