~simply because Brown paper is

With reference to the statement of
Rev. DR.. Charles A. Eaton of Cleye-
land thar lie assisted iii having intro
'luled Mrs. G. l.. Chadwick and Her
bert B.. Newton, though he was not
well acquainted WITH the woman, Mi.
Newton said at Boston:
"All I've got to say is this-I don't
see why simply because q man hap
)cns to be a minister of the gospel, he
should not step forth in man fashion
md take his medicine like the rest of
u.s."
"Will you state just what you mean
20 %convey?" Mr.. Newton was asked.
"You may draw whhteyer conclusions
sou please" was the answer
Asked if he entertained any bitter
less toward Mrs. Chadwick, he said:
Il can truthfully say l do not. 1
have suffered much through this af-
lair, but Iacan say With truth that |
bear no malice toward any one.
81 couldn't help thinking, when read
ing the account of Mrs. Chadwick's
troubles, that the way of the trans
gressor is hard. I pity her from the
bottom of my hearth
Concerning the crediting of Mr.. New
ton with hoping for a settlement
through John II. Rockefeller on the
assumption that he would not wish to
have his pastors name dragged into
the affair, Mr.. NewtonSsaid:
'"There is no TRUTH in that report. l
nave had hopes ola settlement, but not
through Mr.. Rockefeller. N s-
Mrs. Chadwick represented to me
that she had certain securities in the
care of ri Reynolds and l was shown
mn affidavit signed by, him stating that
he had in his possession stocks and
bonds belonging to- her valued at So
DOC, 900 and upward.. Il. don't under
stand that there is any question con
corning the genuladhess of this afi-
1avit, and OH that Forest my case"
did you see thecsecurities in ques-
ton, Mr.. Newton? Z" he was asked,
II did not. 1 didn't consider it nee
essary considering the name signed to
the notes and Mr.. Reynolds name as
voucher for her ownership Of the S.
DOC, 600 in securities.F'
Mr.. Newton admitted that his chance
of getting anything from the tangle of
Mrs, Chadwick's Affairs is slim.
Upon the report That the Chadwick
securities held by Iri Reynolds had
been found to be worthless Mr.. New
ton refused to comment until the re-
port had been officially confirmed. To
the question, "If those securities are
worthless, will your hopes of affecting
a settlement of your claim disappear
he replied:
Il would not wantNto say so. There
is is a possibility that DR.. Chadwick
might settle my claim.""
In explanation of this statement Mr..
Newton said that before his departure
from America DR.. Chadwick had ten
dered him two checks in part payment
Of his claims against Mrs. Chadwick.
He said that he supposed DR.. Chad
wick thought the checks would be made
good by his wife, but as a matter of
fact they had proved worthless. These
checks, lie said, had q face value OF
$4,000, onec being drawn for
$4,000 and the other for a slightly
smaller amount. ~
