The Iron Annoyed by Necessit,
of Appearing In Person at
the Chadwick Hearing
INDICTMENT EXPECTED SOON
General belief That Mrs. Chadwick
Will Be Held For Forsery-she Is
Still a Prisoner In the Tombs-
cabIesram Received From Her Hus-
band In Europe.

Cleveland, Dec. 1Z.-Ine graHu July
Of Cuyahoga county commenced this
morning an investigation into the at
fairs of Mrs. Chadwick. County Pros
ecutor Keeler Is confident an indict-
ment will be voted before night. AL
in such manner as to cover pretty
much all manner of Irregularities in
financial dealing. He hopes an indict-
ment for forgery will be returned.
Now that there Is a prospect Of a
hearing in this city. speculation as to
whether Carnegie would be called to
testify was heightened by the remark
able disclosures made by Treasurer
Reynolds, of Cleveland The charges
against Mrs. Chadwick was that she
had signed a check for $12.500 when
she had no funds in the Oberlin bank
and then procured certifictaion of a
check by two bank officials under ar
rest at Oberlin. The authorities, In
attempting to put Carnegie on the
stand may argue, however, that the
bank officials certified the check be-
cause Of the various Carnegie notes.
about which they had heard SO much
and some of which they had seen.
Therefore, 1t will be claimed, Carne-
gie's testimony is not irrelevant.
1t is the intention Of the county pros
ecutor to seek indictments against the
people other than Mrs. Chadwick in
connection with the Carnegie notes. 1t
is the opinion of attorneys familiar
with Mrs. Chadwick's affairs that she
alone was concerned in the prepara-
ton of these papers. The trust agree
ment purporting to have been executea
by Carnegie was not written by any
person familiar with the legal forms or
verbiage and attorneys who have read
the document declare that to the best
Of their belief it was written by Mrs.
Chadwick personally. Cashier Spear, of
the Oberlin bank, was the first witness
to appear before the grand jury.
New York, Dec. PA subpoena for
Andrew Carnegie to testify in the
Chadwick case was received by the au-
thorities from Ohio today. 1t is be-
lieved Mrs. Chadwick has consented to
act upon the advice Of her counsel and
await examination in New York, Sat-
urday next, she being apparently re-
conciled to remain in the Tombs prison
until then. She appears to have re-
covered from the severe attacks of ner-
vousness Of last week.
Subpoena requests Carnegie to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury at
Cleveland next Wednesday morning.
The summons was accepted willingly
by Carnegie, but he was annoyed when
he discovered the summons required
him to make the trip to Cleveland.
1t is semi officially announced today
that after Carnegie returns from
Cleveland he will be served with a sub
poena for his appearance here at the
investigation next Saturday, unless
Mrs. Chadwick agrees to go to Ceve-
land in the meantime. Another impor-
tant move in the Chadwick case today
was a hurried conference of her coun-
sci with Lawyer Ryall, representing
Banker Newton, and Mrs Chadwick at
the tombs.
Mrs Chadwick had previously re-
ceived what was believed to be a cable
gram from her husband in Europe. At
the conclusion of the conference Ryall
said he again had hopes that Newton's
claim would be paid.
Mrs Chadwick was still eager to go
to Cleveland today, unless bail could
be secured
The subpoena calling on Carnegie to
testify in the Chadwick case has been
served on Carnegie.
