New York, Dec. ia subpoena was
served on Andrew Carnegie at his home
in this city today calling upon him to go
to Cleveland, o., on Wednesday and tes-
tify in the case of Mrs. Cassie L. Chad
wick. Mr.. Carnegie is requested to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury in
the United States court at a. m, We'd
nesday The summons was issued by
Judge Wing of the United States district
court of the northern district of Ohio
and was accepted willingly by Mr.. Car
negie.
Mr.. Carnegie was annoyed, however,
when he discovered that the summons
required him to make the trip to Cleve-
land.
The deputy United States marshal
with the subpoena called at Mr.. Car
negie's house and told one of the sec
retaries that he came from the building
in which the Carnegie steel company's
office is located. In the colloquy that
ensued the deputy refused to say who
had sent him and asked for a private
interview with Mr.. Carnegie saying that
he had a private paper for him. After
a few moments hesitation the secretary
admitted the deputy to the library
where the ironmaster sat reading. Mr..
Carnegie took the subpoena with
smile and spreading it out on his knee
read it carefully.
What he cried, when he saw that it
required his presence in Cleveland.
why I don't think 1 will be able to go
out there at all. I'm very sick. I've got
lumbago. Do you mean to say that I'll
have to be in Cleveland on Wednesday,
then come bacl-here to appear before
Commissioner Shields on Saturday,
The irOnmaster was advised that he
might see the United States district at
torney here about the matter The in
terview terminated with the remark on
the part of Mr.. Carnegie that this
weather did not agree with him. 1t
was showing hard at the time.
1t was semi officially announced today
that if Mr.. Carnegie returns from
Cleveland he will be served with a sub
pOena for his appearance here at the
investigation next Saturday unless Mrs.
Chadwick agrees to go to Cleveland in
the meantime.
Another important move in the Chad
wick case today was a hurried confer
ence of her counsel with Lawyer George
RyaIl representing Banker Herbert D.
Newton, of Boston, and Mrs Chadwick
at the Tombs. Mrs. Chadwick had pre-
viously received what was believed to
be a cablegram from her husband IN
Europe. At the conclusion of the con-
ference Mr.. Ryal said he again had
hopes that Mr.. Newton's claim would
be paid.
Mrs. Chadwick was still eager to go
to Cleveland today unless bail could be
secured her counsel said. Efforts to Sc
cure her release were made but had not
been successful at 1 o'clock Mr.. Car
negie will be paid five cents mile for
his trip to Cleveland and $1-50 a day for
his time when actually before the grand
jury.
VIII Stay in Jail.
New York. Dec. 12.-Early today bail
had not been secured for the release OF
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick from the
Tombs prison nor had she given notice
of any intention to waive examination
IN this city and go to Cleveland for
hearing. Apparently reconciled tenn
porariIy to prison restraints and fare
and satisfied that should she attempt
to provide the bail now required the
amount would be Immediately so in
creased as to become practically pro-
hfbitive, it was said today that Mrs
Chadwick had consented to act upon
the advice of her counsel and await an
examination in New York next 'Satur-
day.
Subpoena for Carnegie.
Mrs. Chadwick appears to have en-
tirely recovered from the severe attacks
of nervousness which attended her first
few hours in the Tombs and apprehen-
sion of a collapse is no longer enter
tanned by the prison physician
Now that there is a prospect of
hearing in this city speculation as to
whether Andrew Carnegie would be
called to testify was heightened by the
remarkable disclosures made by Treas
urer Iri Reynolds of the Wade Park
bank of Cleveland The charge against
Mrs. Chadwick was that she signed
check for S12. 500 when she had no funds |
in the Oberlin. O., bank and then pro-
cured a certification of the check by |
the two bank officials under arrest at |
Oberlln. The authorities in attempting |
to put Mr.. Carnegie on the stand may
argue. however. that the bank officials |
certified the check because of the var
ious Carnegie notes about which they
had heard so much and some of which |
they had seen. Therefore it will be |
claimed Mr.. Carnegie's testimony is not |
irrelevant A subpoena for Andrew |
Carnegie to testify in the Chadwick |
case was received by the authorities in |
this city today 1t was issued in Ohio. |
The subpoena calling on Andrew |
Carnegie to testify in the Chadwick |
case has been served on Mr.. Carnegie. |
