The Jury Is to Be Selected
for Her Trial
IS PALE AUD NERVOUS
Be Experienced in Finding Twelve
Competent Jurors.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-A special
panel of 200 talesmen has been sum-
moned for the second trial of Nan
Patterson, charged with the murder
of Caesar Young, which begins today.
1t is expected the present trial will
attarct even more attention than the
first.
Miss Patterson, who has been i'll
with throat trouble, came into court
with haltering step and depressed
carriage. She sat down beside her
father. AS she raised her veil and
kissed the old man it was seen that
her face was chalky white. 1t will
probably take much longer to select a
jury this time because many men have
read the newspaper accounts of the
former trial and have formed an
opinion.

FORMER WALLA WALLANS RE-
MEMBER HER AS A GIRL IN
ONTARIO.
Robert Vandecar Had an Unpleasant
Experience With the Woman Sew
eraI Years Ago.

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred J. Carlyle of Ia
coma, who formerly resided in Walla
Walla, are both acquainted with Mrs.
Cassie l.. Chadwick of Cleveland, o.,
whose sensational borrowing of east
ern capitalists is receiving wide repu-
tation. With Mrs. Chadwick, they are
natives of Woodstock, Ontario, and
knew Mrs. Chadwick when she was
charming, willowy girl bearing her
maiden name of Elizabeth Bigley.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carlyle unite in
saying that she had a most insinuatlng
personality, making friends fast and
being the belle of the town
At that time Woodstock was city
of about 10000 people. Miss Bigley
was the daughter of poor family, but
her pretty face and prettier ways soon
made her a person of note in the social
circles of the city. She attended the
Episcopal church of Woodstock and
had numerous admirers among the
young men of the city.
Speaking to a Tacoma newspaper
man about Mrs Chadwick's noterley,
Mr. Carlyle said:
'Mr. Robert Vandecar, my father-in-
law. had an unpleasant experience
with her, and was obliged to prosecute
her for forgery on account of bogus
checks she cashed. About the same
time she was accused of forging the
name of a Mr. Garfield, of Woodstock,
to checks. She was prosecuted and
sentenced to serve term in the peni-
tentiary.
THE Woodstock papers had long
stories daily about the trial at the
time. Her arrest caused a tremendous
sensation. When she came up for trial
she acted in an erratic manner, coming
into the court in disordered apparei
and evidently trying to simulate insan-
ity. Following her trial and convlc-
ton she drifted out of sight. l do not
recall that she came back to Wood
stock. The papers intimate that she
has hypnotic powers. We heard moth
ing of this when she was girl

Carnegie Is Indignant.

NEW DIRK, Dec. 5.-Andrew Car
negie's secretary today gave out the
following: Mr.. Carnegie wants me to
say that he does not want to be both
cred any more about this Chadwick
woman. He is quite angry over this
persistent use of his name and he
wishes it to cease at once. Once for
all, he never knew Mrs. Chadwick or
any other such woman, and he never
signed any such paper as reports
credit with him."

Hypnotic Power.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 5.-Emil
Chadwick, son of Mrs. C. L. Chadwick,
did not arrive at Cleveland at 7:15 this
morning as expected. 1t is reported
that he left New York last night on a
secret mission.
According to the conductor Of the
Lake Shore train, young Chadwick left
the train at Ashtabula.
President Beckwith and Cashier
Speer of the Oberlin bank arrived here
this morning at 10 in charge of federal
officers and were taken at once to the
office of United States Commissioner
Starck Beckwith could have secured
his release on $4,000 bail, but he pre-
ferred to go to Cleveland at once. He
said: Take me to Jail and let me face
the worst 1 have no friends left and
l may As well go to Jail now as later
The Two men will be arraigned be-
for thd United States commissioner.
If theysare proved guilty they are liable
to imprisonment from five to ten years.
The two notes, one for 100000 and
the other for $25O,00O, which have been
mentioned in connection with the
Oberlin bank and the Chadwick case
bear the signature of Andrew Car
negie.'' The smaller note was found
in the Oberlin National bank and it is
now in the possession of the United
States government authorities at
Cleveland This reads:
January z. 1904
"One year from date. I, promise to
pay to C. l.. Chadwick or order $250,OO0
with interest at 5 per cent.
(Signed) Andrew Carnegie"
This note is endorsed on the back,
&c. l.. Chadwick"
The note for $5OOOOO is supposed to
be in the safety deposit box of Presi-
dent Beckwith of the Citizens National
bank of Oberlin. A subpoena for Rob-
ert Lyons, receiver of the Oberlin bank
has been issued by District Attorney
Sullivan, ordering him to appear at the
preliminary hearing Of Beckwith and
Cashier Spear and bring all the Car
negie or Chadwick securities found in
the bank The vital question now is,
Are these notes forged?"
,nr
Starck, Beckwith and Spear both
pleaded not guilty. They waived ex-
animation and were held in bonds of
$4,000 each. BeckWith's condition is
pitiable. He is almost On the verge of
collapse. Spear is cool.
Cashier Spears bail was furnished
by eX-County Treasurer Lauder of

Howard Frisbie, who was arrested
for attempting to pass worthless
checks, was released from the city Jail
yesterday by Chief of Police Brown.
Frisbie's friends fixed up the matter
of the forged check he passed on
Thanksgiving day, and as he did not
secure any money on his last attempt,
it was believed that it would be better
to release him.

open tearing the chain loose. They
struck the messenger twice on the

Contract for construction of the
portage road has been agreed upon
by the state board and A. J. MCabe,
the contractor, and McCabe is now
preparing to submit his bond of $50, 900.
That preliminary finished, the negotia-
tions will be closed up at once. He
has until Thursday to give bond, and
Immediately thereafter will be required
to begin work. The road is to be fin
ished by May 1, so as to be out of the
reach of the next high water McCabe
is to receive $151 900 from the state,
but the Open River association will
pay him perhaps $4,000 more.
The road will be substantially built
and it's rolling stock will be first class.
No second hand equipment will be
used, for the state committee and the
state board are resolved that there
shall be no interruptions in it's service.
A telephone line and a passenger
coach have been added to the speci-
fications, and a brand new locomotive.
All this will increase the cost beyond
the original estimate, $165,OOO, the
sum which the legislature appropriat-
ed nearly two years ago, but the state
is not paying the extra cost, so the
state board is satisfied.

expected to subscribe to the fund.
