with their consent loaned her the
money. The next day she brought a
package which she said contained $780,
$25O,0o0 certificate. which I was to
hold in trust for her, under the same
conditions as the previous package. [
held these until a month ago, when, in
the presence of several gentlemen, they
were opened. It was about the time
Mr.. Newton began his suit. They con-
tanned bonds all right, but they were
not Steel bonds.' -,
Whdn asked. what they were, Mr..
said: !" There were five $1,000
bonds of the Home Telegraph company
Of the Buckeye Fish company
Arnful Of ''steel Bonds.''
Just before he was appointed GUS
todian of this last package, Mr.. Rey-
nolds says, Mrs. Chadwick came to the
bank one afternoon with q package she
was as many as you could carry in your
two arms, ''he said sHShe left them in
the vault, and when she returned from
Europe she took them away, saying she
had been advised to put such vast
vault.''
Mr.. Reynolds understood she was to
take them to New York or Pittsburg.
At one time, he said, she made writ
ten statement to his committee that she
had over two million in bonds in the
safety deposit vault In the Wade Park
bank.
Repeated efforts on Mr.. Reynolds
part to close up the dealings with Mrs.
Chadwick met with excuse and de-
lay. He was put off time after time,
yet did not lose confidence. He detailed
one instance, that on May IL, 1904,
when he went to New York expecting to
settle the entire affair. Mrs. Chad
wick was in consultation with number
of lawyers and after waiting two days
he returned to Cleveland without see
ing her. - .,0Ha 419it sG]>4 ~ 's,..- &

+ And He Believed Her.
Mrs. Chadwick hi; had told him the orig
inal was in the package he held. He
confidently believed everything would
be paid, up to a week ago, and had no
suspicion Of anything wrong until few
days before Mr. Newton brought his
suit. Then his attorney, Mr.. Carver of
Boston, called at the Wade Park bank
and said he understood he held some
Steel securities of Mrs. Chadwick s. and
showed him a paper assigning all her
right and title in Reynolds holdings.
y, Several notes Of 100000, each pay
able to DR.. Chadwick had been taken
up by Mr.. Reynolds. He declared they
were payable out of any moneys that
might have been on credit to Mrs.
Chadwick in the First National bank
! of Cleveland on Aug. 20. Some OF
these were paid in February or March,
1904, money was placed tor,her credit
in this bank. Mr., Reynolds thought
money came from the east to pay all
Of these, and felt assured that what
he held was all right.
He was further assured when Judge
Olcott Of New York came to Cleveland
and was introduced to him over the
telephone by MRS. Chadwick. Judge
| Olcott assured him that he would re-
ieve Mrs. Chadwick from her unenvi-
able position. He knew Judge Olcott
was here because he was assured by a
check for 81 500 signed by Judge O1cott
he received the next day.
He last. saw Mrs. Chadwick on Nov.
10. She desired to go east and had no
money. -. -. J..
He cashed a check on the Lincoln
Trust company Of New York. It was
returned marked "account closed.' He
took it out of the Wade Park bank,
paid it and has it in his possession. He
brought the Newton debt to her atten-
ton and advised her to go east and
raise the money and settle the whole
affair, and he thought she went east
to see Andrew Carnegie.

Mr.. Reynolds came away from New
York, he says, because. he did not have
money enough to stay there two hours.

smarter than me; she has pulled the

Witness had seen no other notes, but
had seen check which was sent to his
house when he was ill. It was for 500,
900, and had Andrew Carnegie IS name
signed to it. Whether any money was
ever produced on it he. did not know.
