MRS, CHADWICK HELD
Arraigned in New York
Early This Morning.
HEARING DECEMBER II
CARNEGIE DENIES HAVING IS
SUED NOTES IN QUESTION.
Case is Beginning to Assume Form for
Criminal secution-Prisoner's
Sister Talks.

With the drra1Snment OF MIS-.
Cassie L. Chadwick before a United
States commissioner today on a
technical charge Of aiding and
abetting a bank official in misapp1y-
ing the funds of a national bank,
the second stage in this remarkable
case was begun in New York today.
Andrew Carnegie, asked officially
if he signed the three notes in ques-
ton, replied that he did not, had no
notes out and had not issued any
for many years.
Mrs. Chadwick's hearing was
postponed until December II. She
was held in ST 5000 bail.
NEW YORK, December S.-Today prac-
tically all interest in the case was centered
in conjecture as to what the future will re-
veal Men who profess to have an intimate
knowledge of the affairs of the woman have
limited that only a suggestion of the real
case has yet become public. One man is
credited with the statement that time will
show this to be the most stupendous and
aching case of its kind in many years.
Already the country has been startled by
the disclosures which have followed one
after another in quick succession since Mrs.
Chadwicks affairs were brought before the
public view less than two weeks ago. Since
that time Mrs. Chadwick's known indebted
ness has grown from less than 100000 to
more than a million and her counsel has
said that claims against her may amount

validity of some of the claims, however,
said the attorney. was another matter.
In the same period at least two banks
have taken official cogniZance of the case
and the federal officers have taken it upon
themselves to investigate the validity Of
notes aggregating more than a million dol
lars which bear the name of Andrew Car
negie, who has stated that he never signed
any notes. that he never has had any deal
ings with Mrs. Chadwick to whom the
notes in question We're made payable, and
that he will be perfectly willing to COM
municate the same information to any Off
cial with proper authority who cares to call
upon him.
This opportunity has now been given him,
and his reply to the communication of
Prosecuting Attorney Keeler of Cleveland,
which was sent last night, Is awaited with
considerable interest. Mr.. Keeler's message
not only asks Mr.. Carnegie II he signed
the three notes. one of which calls for
$3.50 600. and the other two for $500. 600 each,
but If he will go to Ohio to testify that he

Strangest Feature of Mystery.
The strangest feature of the mystery has
been the use Of the name of Mr.. Carnegie.
What reason was offered to explain why
Mr.. Carnegie who has an income of more
than SO, 900, 600 year from United States
Steel bonds alone. should be giving notes,
has not been brought out.
Probably not in the history of the United
States has there been anything similar in
unusual circumstances and magnitude to
the Chadwick borrowings. 1t is known by
the statement of President Beckwith of the
failed Citizens National Bank of Oberlin,
Ohio, that notes for at least s1,25O,OO0, in
dorsed by Mrs Chadwick, are outstanding;
the securities said to be held by Iri
Reynolds of Cleveland figure to the extent
of S5, 5,OOO. 900; Herbert ID. Newton of Boston
has claims for S190,SoO, and today 1t was
asserted by those conversant with the
strange case that number of banks not
yet mentioned in public had made large
loans to Mrs. Chadwick.
A few minutes later Mrs. Chadwick's son
Emil came down stairs and went to the
Holland House There he asked to see
Virgil z. Kline, the Cleveland attorney who
has been mentioned in connection with the
case, but was informed that Mr.. Kline had
asked not to be disturbed. He left word
that Mrs. Chadwick desired to see the at
torney, and then. returning to the Hotel
Breslin. sent a cablegram to Paris. He
would not disclose the name of the person
to whom the message was addressed.
Start for the Federal Building.
A few minutes before o'clock Mrs. Chad
wick came down from her apartments and
prepared for the Journey to the federal
building.
She appeared to be very weak, and lean
ed heavily upon the arm of the United
States marshal. Before leaving the hotel
she cDmDpllp0 sit couch in the
hall and rest for a time.
On the way from her hotel to the federal
building Mrs Chadwick said to the marshal
who had her in custody:
The time Will come when the people will
see that L am a very much malgned and
prosecuted woman. When L think of what
have gone through in the past few weeks
wonder that am not insane Everybody
has jumped on me, but l will come out cf
this all right, and when l do l will issue
statement to the public that will show how
innocent l have BEEN
Mrs. Chadwick later thanked the marshal
again for his courtesy to her, and especially
for not putting her under arrest before, as.
she said her lawyers had told her, he could
have done.
"Who was that man to whom 1 spoke
sharply in the hotel corridor last night
when he interfered with me?' asked Mar
shal Henkel.
THAT was Mr.. Kline" said Mrs Chad
wick. He is a good friend of mine from
Cleveland. He did not mean anything by
what he said; he thought he was doing his
duty by me-"
Mrs. Chadwick wore a brown rain coat
full length. with a large brown hat and a
heavy veil OF the same color.
Shortly after Mrs Chadwick arrived at
the federal building Attorney Carpenter of
the woman's counsel appeared and was in
consultation with United States Commits
sioner Shields. At Mr.. Carpenters solicita-
tion the time for the arraignment of Mrs
Chadwick was delayed and he left the build
ing to find bail.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, December S.--Coun-
~ Prosecutor Keeler today received the
following telegram from Andrew Carnegie
at New York, in reply TO an inquiry to
the genuineness of the Chadwick notes.
Never signed such notes; have no notes
out now have not issued a note for many
years. Hope you can arrange to have any
necessary affidavits executed here.
