TWO ANDREW CARNEGIES.
PITTSBURG, Dec I'm Pittsburg
there is not man of business who
really believes that Andrew Carnegie,
ironmaster and philanthropist, is gull
ty Of completely in the Chadwick case.
But there are two Andrew Carnegies.
This fact has recently come to the
minds Of Pittsburgers
Two Andrew Carnegies." hundreds
Of sensible men of this city of million
aires have said to-day; funny We
never thought of that before
The second Andrew Carnegie is a
son of Mrs. Lucy Carnegie, who is d
widow of the elder Andrews brother,
Tom Carnegie Andrew the second is
not well known. In fact he was en-
tirely forgotten until the Chadwick
case came out in all its glare. 1t is
not said that the second Andrew Car
negie has had anything to do with the
case. but it is pointed out that there
are two Andrew Carnegies, and there
fore the case becomes more than ever
complicated.
BOSTON. Dec. THE Globe says
Mrs. Chadwick, before receiving the
loan from Herbert d. Newton of Brook
lire, saw a Boston attorney, gave him
4 $500 note purporting to have been
signed by Andrew Carnegie and a GER
tificate that s.. .OO0. 600 in securities were
on deposit with the Wade Park Bank
ing Company of Cleveland, Ohio, and
asked him to raise a loan for her.
With the story of valuable property
held in trust the attorney applied to
John NJ. Graham. president of the In
ternational Trust Company. for loan
Of 5000. 900 Graham saw the note and
certificate. but. as he says, there was
altogether too much mystery about it.
I said at once that i could not make
a loan on that basis. Three minutes
was all the time l gave to hearing the
b l.
loan"
