The San Francisco call., 1904-11-30


developments in the case of Mrs. Cassie
Chadwick followed in rapid succession
to-day. George E. Ryall, local counsel
for Herbert B. Newton. who has
, brought suit against Mrs Chadwick,
said his client had told him of having
been shown a note for $50O.O0O by Mrs.
Chadwick, to which the name of An-
drew Carnegie was signed Carnegie
denied that he had ever seen Mis-.
Chadwick or had any business dealing
with her.
At Oberlin, Ohio, it was learned that
Mrs. Chadwick had obtained loans
amounting to $24O 900 from the Citizens
National Bank and 100000 from the
banks president personally. The Car
negie note is believed to have been de-
posted in this bank.
In Cleveland there was a run" on
the Wade Park Bank, an institution
which is said 70 hold securities placed
by Mrs. Chadwick.
A Boston dispatch says that the Sc
cprities given by Mrs. Cassie Chadwick
fsr S190,S0O loaned to her by Newton,
are really worthless, but for reasons
which they will not discuss for publica-
| tion Newton and his attorney believe
a settlement will be made before the
hearing in Cleveland next Thursday.
EXPECT CARNEGIE TO PAY.
The presence of Andrew Carnegie's
signature to the 100000 note, 1t is said,
/ makes ATTORNEY Carver and Mr.. New
ton believe that there will be a prompt
settlement. 1t is even intimated that
the settlement viii be made in spite OF
any pfnof that Farnegie's signature
was forged. Attorney Carver said to-
night:
"In Mr.. Newtons bill Of complaint,
which has been filed in the suit against
! Mrs. Chadwick, Newton alleges that
as an inducement for him to lend Mrs.
| Chadwick $3.50, 500, Mrs. Chadwick
showed him a note for 100000, which
was signed by man whom Mr.. New
ton believed to be fully responsible as
one who could stand behind such
| loan as was required. / prefer not to
state what name was signed to the
note, but you can say that we do not
| contradict the statement that the note
! bore the signature of Andrew Carne
/ gie."
Carver stated in conclusion that Car
negie's reputation of the note for
s500,000 was not at all expected.
CONFERENCE OF CREDITORS.
A meeting of Mrs. Chadwicks cred
itors was held here to-day and was
presided over by George r. Ryall, the
! New York attorney for Herbert New
ton of Brookline, Mass, who is suing
Mrs. Chadwick for the recovery of
$19O,SOO lent her on notes. Ryall to-
| day issued the following statement:
There was a conference at my office
at which there were present Mr.. New
ton, Mr.. Carver of Boston, Judge John
/ Albaugh of Canton, of counsel for
Mrs. Chadwick, and myself. On behalf
| of Mrs. Chadwick, Judge Albaugh re-
quested that the receivership proceed
/ fvaorc he off 1arr af
which time he will have her affairs in
some kind of shape. This was agreed
to and Mr.. Newton and Mr.. Carver
went back to Boston on late train.
Mr.. Newton said that he had seen a
note for 100000 which was given by
Mrs. Chadwick as collateral for a loan
/ from the Citizens National Bank of
Oberlin, o., which failed yesterday. My
client told me that this note carried
/ the signature Andrew Carnegie This
will have TO come out sooner or later,
so shall tell it now"
MIR. CARNEGIE'S DENIAL.
The following statement was made
| by Carnegie's secretary:
Mr.. Carnegie read this report and
pronounced it absurd. Mr. Carnegie
! does not know the woman at ALL"
Subsequently Ryall said the receiver
| ship proceedings in the Chadwick case
in Cleveland were postponed to enable
/ Mrs. Chadwick to make a settlement
(, Of Newton's claim.
1T was the understanding last
night" said Ryall, that Mrs. Chad
wick would settle a large part of~New-
tons claim in cash and give security
! for the balance"
\ Ryall did not know that Mrs. Chad
wick had secured the funds necessary.
Ryall was asked to-day if it might
| be possible that the name Andrew
| Carnegie" had been forged, and re-
piled:
IF that is so, less than forty eight
hours will elapse before some one is
/ under arrest"
HEARING is CONTINUED.
