New York, Dec. 9.-With the ar.
raignment Of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick
before the United States commissioner
on the technical charge Of aiding
and abettipg q bank official in misap.
plying the funds of national bank
the second stage in this remarkable
case was begun It seems almost Ger.
tain that these proceedings ultimately
will result in clearing away the mys-
terry in which the case has been
shrouded.
Mrs. Chadwick, who had been per-
mitted to remain at the Hotel Breslin
during the night, arose early and told
the United states marshal she was
ready to accompany him. A carriage
was called and the party started short
" before o'clock for the federal
building, where the arraignment was
to take place. .,,,'s@,S
On the way from the hotel to the
federal building Mrs. Chadwick said
to the marshal who. had her ~ Gus.
tody:
"The time will come when these
people will see that I am a very much
maligned and prosecuted woman.
When I think Of what I have gone
through in the past few weeks won
der that am not insane Everybody
has jumped on me, but will come out
of this all right and when / do will
issue statement to the public that
will show how innocent have been"
Mrs. Chadwick later thanked the
marshal again for his courtesy to her
and especially for not putting her IN
der arrest before, a. she said her law
yers had told her he could have done.
Interest in Future Revelations.
Practically all interest in the case
fl centered in conjecture as to what
the future will reveal Men who pro-;
TESS to have an in inmate knowledge Of.
the affairs of the woman have hinted
that only a suggestion Of the real case
has yet become public. One man ID
credited With the statement that time
will show this to be the most stupen'
dous and farreaching case Of its kind
Ia many years. Already the country
has been startled by the disclosures
which have followed one after another
In quick succession since Mrs. Chad
Wick's affairs were brought before the
public view less than two weeks ago.
Since that time Mrs. Chadwick's
known Indebtedness has grown from
less than $500, 900 to more than 81
100000 and her counsel has said that
claims against her may amount to
t2O,O00,000 for all he knows.
The strangest feature Of the mys.
terry has been the use of the name of
Mr.. Carnegie. What reason was of.
fered to explain why Mr.. Carnegie,
who has an income of more than &c..
100000 a year from United States
Steel bonds alone, should be giving
i totes, 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 borrow
ings. According to the statement of
President Beckwith Of the failed Citi.
zens' National bank of Oberlin. o..
notes for at least 81 ,250,000, endorsed
BY Mrs. Chadwick, are outstanding;
the securities said to be held by Iri
Reynolds of Cleveland figure to the
extent Of $5.000,000; Herbert D. New
ton has claims for s190,800 and it is
asserted by those conversant with the
strange case that number of banks
not yet mentioned In public had made
large loans to Mrs. Chadwick. ass&
