that he had not the slightest in
tention of prosecuting anybody
for forging his signature to the
notes, even if further investiga-
tion should show that such forgery
has been committed.
One prominent man from Ohio,
who Is now here, said today: "In
day or two revelations will be
made which will show this to be
the most colossal affair of the CEN
tury. Five prominent New York
men, whose names have not yet
been mentioned. will be involved
as deeply as Mrs. Chadwick.
A number Of wealthy and prom
fnent western men will also be
dragged into the case and numer-
Gus prosecutions will follow.
These facts will be made public

New York, Dec. 7.-Decisive ac-
tion In the case of Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick seems to be held in
abeyance by some powerful infu-
ence despite the frequent confer
ences held in this city yesterday.
It was reported today that the
delay was in measure due to
desire to prevent an imposition Of
hardships upon the banks with
which Mrs. Chadwick has had
dealings, but whose part in her f.
nancial affairs has not yet been
made public. 1t is said that if it
were known other banks had made
loans to Mrs. Chadwick run on
them might be started and that
would do them great injury.
No one not intimately connected
with the case knows what these
banks are nor what has become of
the note for $500,0J0 which Presi-
dent Beckwith Of the Oberlin
bank says he Endorsed for Mrs.
Chadwick.
Just before noon a hurried sum-
mons was sent to DR.. Moore, Mrs.
Chadwick's physician, asking him
to call at the New Amsterdam
hotel at once. No information
could be obtained as to the reason
for the summons.
