thetic Tale BY One Of
Her Victims.

| Cleveland, Dec. 13.-Trouble for Mrs.
Cassie L. Chadwick increased at q rapid
rate yesterday She was twice indicted
BY the grand jury Of Cuyoboga county
and her old time friend, Iri Reynolds,
took the stand in court and made eyi-
dent his intention to shield and protect
her no longer. The aged man presented
IL pathetic picture as he answered ques-
iion after question, which brought out
His own implicit faith in the woman.
He gave evidence, too, that he still be-
Heyes his trust was justified. Only one
question he attempted to eyade This
was when he was asked how much Of
bis personal estate had passed into the
possession of Mrs. Chadwick. His eyes
filled and he requested that he Be ex-
leused from answering The question
was not pushed.
The formal indictments voted against
Mrs. Chadwick are based, one upon the
/ Carnegie note for S250,000, which was
made payable at the Office of Andrew
Carnegie IN New York city and the
other upon the Carnegie note for $780,
900, which was payable at the National
Bank OF Commerce in New York. Under
each indictment are two counts. one
charging forgery, the other utteIing Of
forged papers.
Repeated efforts on Mr.. Reynolds part
ito close up dealings with Mrs. Chad
wick met with excuse and delay, yet he
did not lose confidence He detailed one
instance that OH May III, 1904. when he
went to New York expecting to settle
the affair, Mrs. Chadwick was IN con
sultation with several lawyers and after
waiting two days he left without seeing
her
lie had read the trust agreement but
Ind never seen the signature. Mrs.
Chadwick had told him The original was
III the package he held. He confidently
believed everything would be paid, up
to q week ago, and had no suspicion OF
anything wrong until few days before
Mr.. Newton brought suit. Then Att0r-
ney Carver OF Boston called at the Wade
Park Bank and said he understood he
held some steel securities of Mrs Chad
wick's and showed him paper assign
ing oil her right aud title in Reynolds
holdings.
STeral notes Of $4,000 each, payable
10 DR.. Chadwick. had been taken up bv
Mr. Reynolds. He declared they were
payable out OF any moneys that might
have been on credit to Mrs. Chadwick
tn the First National bank al Cleveland
Ion August 90. Some Of these were paid
and in February OF March, 1904, money
was placed to her credit in the bank.
Mr. Reynolds thought money came from
the East to pay ail these, and felt as
|sured that what he held was all
right
He was further assured when Judge
0leott Of New York came to Cleveland
and was introduced to him over the
telephone by Mrs Chadwick. Judge OF
colt assured him that he would relieve
Mrs. Chadwick from her position. He
received a check for $500 signed by
Judge 0lcott the next day.
He last saw her November TO- She
desired to 20 East and had no money
He cashed a check on the Lincoln Trust
company Of New York. II was returned

out Of the Wade Park bank and paid and
advised her to 60 East regarding the
Newton debt, raise the money and settle
