todlan OF That Give Millions" Ar
rlye--Woman's Lawyer Says He Mover
Posed In ohio as Carnegie's Agent
and Said the Notes We're Genuine.
Mrs. Cassie Chadwick of Cleveland, whose
financial transactions, particularly those
with the defunct Citizens National Bank OF
! Oberlin, are now under investigation by
| Cove rnment officers. with reports from
Clevtl land that her arrest Is immi-
nent, changed her residence last night.
| The change was made shortly after
10 o'clock, and nobody seemed to be pre-
pared for it but the Secret Service ms0,
She had been at the Hollapd House ever
since she came here from Cleveland with
her husband month ago. She announced
that she was going to make that hotel her
residence.
/ Yesterday it was reported that she was
! i'll in bed, but about 10 o'clock last night
she came down the elevator. She wore a
sealsiin sacque and muff and a veil. On one
, side OF her was her son, Emil who got back
yesterday from Cleveland, and on the other
side was her maid Frieda. They had to
support her. On the way to the Fifth
avenue entrance Mrs. Chadwick several
/ times seemed to stumble. Her Son whis-
pered something to her.
AS the woman was recognized there was
| n rush after her, and some Of the diners left
/ the dining rooms to see what 1t was all
| about.
| A closed carriage was waiting. All Of
Mrs Chadwiok's baggage had been put
aboard. 1t consisted Of two hand satchels
| and box, She had no trunks at the hotel
| She paid her bill few days ago and on her
! departure left but small amount owing.
| Two Secret Service men who had been
strolling about the corridors all the evening
! got into cab that had been drawn up for
| some time behind the carriage that had
| been waiting for Mrs. Chadwick. Mrs.
| Chadwick's driver made a quick turn and
| started fast down Fifth avenue, and the
cab with the Secret Service men followed.
Mrs. Chadwioks carriage went to the
New Amsterdam Hotel. Mrs.1 Chadwick
was assisted out, but the maid stayed
behind with the baggage. Mrs. Chadwick
sat down In the waiting room and her son
| had talk with the clerk. Apparently
there was some difficulty In getting room,
for 1t was some time before the baggage
was taken out OF the carriage. None Of the
three registered.
The Secret Service men dismissed their
cab and camped at the New Amsterdam.
| Soon after Mrs. Chadwick arrived DR..
| A. A. Moore asked to be directed to her
apartment. He had great difficulty in
reaching his patient, as Mrs. Chadwick
had left orders at the desk that under no
conditions should any one be allowed in
her rooms. The doctor was finally ad-
mitted when he managed to get a note to
Mrs. Chadwick. The two Secret Service
agents at the hotel are Brezezinsh and
Klinke. They were recognized by news
paper men as men that had been stationed
in Oyster Bay in the summer when the
President was at that place.
DR.. Moore said that Mrs. Chadwick had had
fainting spells. .Her leaving the Holland
House Tonight he said. was against
my advice and was merely the result of a
whim OF hers. She wanted to get out Of
that hotel. She was In no condition to do
such a thing and it has told on her.
Mrs. Chadwick left of her own free
will said Assistant Manager Summers
at the Holland House.
Her departure followed a day in which
the storm centre OF her affairs seemed to
have shifted to this city. There arrived
here yesterday from Cleveland Frank
Lyon, receiver OF the broken Oberlin bank;
F. F. Oldham, a lawyer representing the
Comptroller Of the Currency; F. K. Whitney, (
the banks largest depositor; Iri Reynolds, |
the custodian Of Mrs. Chadwicks alleged
fortune in securities; Andrew Squire, her
Cleveland attorney, and E. @. johnson,
counsel for the Savings and Trust Com
pany of Elyria, Ohio, from which Mrs.
Chadwick borrowed $4,000.
These men got here at different times.
but some Of them got together at the Wal
dorf-Astoria and had talks. At 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Oldham left
for Washington, presumably to report
affairs up to date.
The trip here of Receiver Lyon is ap-
parently for the object Of finding out either
from Andrew Carnegie, personally or
through representative, whether the sig
nature on the two notes for s5oo,o0o and
$3.50 900 left on deposit by Mrs Chadwick
as collateral for loans in the bank is genuine.
Mr. Carnegie has declared several
times that he has not made any notes or
indorsed any notes for years and also that
he never knew Mrs. Chadwick and never
heard of her until the other day. II the
Government is to take any legal proceed
ings based on the bogus notes it is desirable
for the receiver TO get this evidence at
first hand.
After the first talk at the Waldorf Astoria
Mr.. Squire went To Mrs. Chadwick's apart
ment at the Holland House. where he re-
NAMED an hour When he came down
he refused TO answer any questions. When
asked il he could say anything about the
Carnegie" notes, he said:
Il am as much up in the air as you are
about that
Mr.. Squire said that he had come here
as counsel for the Wade Park Banking
Institution. of which Mr., Reynolds is treas
urer and where Mrs Chadwick's fortune
l. alleged 10 have been stored. In all OF
Mrs. Chadwick's troubles In Cleveland
which have got in the courts within the
last few days Mr., Squire has been her
counsel
Mr.. Squire had lunch with Mr.. Oldham
at the New York Club and then went back
to the Waldorf, where there was more talk.
Later in the afternoon MIR Squire made
two more calls on Mrs Chadwick going
bock to tho other confa rees Mt the WaldcYf
