BECKW|TH MEET
Aged Banker Tells the Woman
He IS Not Ready to Pro-
nounce Her a Fraud

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 15.-Mrs.

busy one for her She received several
visits from her attorneys, held long
conferences with them, conversed with
newspaper men and for fifteen minutes
stood face to face with President
Beckwith, of the Oberlin bank, who has
come to such great trouble through his
financial transactions with her.
The meeting was dramatic. The
aged banker had been for hours before
the county grand jury. Mrs. Chad
wick met him at the entrance of the
corridor and shook hands with him
cordially. After some general conver-
sation Mr.. Beckwith referred to their
business relations by saying:
Mrs. Chadwick, you have ruined
me, but I'm not so sure yet you are a
fraud 1 have stood by you to my last
dollar, and l do think now that the
time has come for you to make known
everything in relation to this thing"
Beekwitf's voice betrayed deep emo
ton as he spoke. Mrs. Chadwick did
not reply directly to the words of Mr.
Beckwith, but her manner and the
look on her face were not conciliatory.
Mr.. Beckwith said:
Il have always told you that did
not like it because you changed your
lawyers so often. Why don't you get
a good one and stick to him?.
"Well,' said Mrs. Chadwick, have
reasons for that"

recently?" was Mr. Beckwiths next
question.

Mrs. Chadwick's reply. Has he
changed his mind?"

always held
s.. To what matter the questions re-
ferred was not known. The interview
