The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1904-12-13


devoted to explaining how the run on
the Wade Park bank of Cleveland, o.,
and the failure of the Citizens Nation
al bank of Oberlin, o., could have
been averted had the people only not
become mentally panic stricken" at
what she termed the sensational
stories printed about herself in con
nectlon with the two institutions. S.
refused to discuss the so-called Gar
| negie" notes, referring everyone in
! this matter to her lawyer. She also
again denied, but this time, not so
emphatically and specifically, that she
was the same woman as the one
known as Madame Lydia De We're,
convicted forger.
While answering the questions put
by the newspaper men. Mrs. Chadwick
lay on the couch in the marshals
room. She was interrupted at inter
walls by slight nervous shudderings
through her whole body. At times
she showed signs of going into hyster-
les but always recovered herself.
She bore herself we'll through the
ordeal for nearly an hour when she
was taken with q more violent attack
of nervous convulsion than any pre-
vously and terminated the interview.
Mrs. Chadwick denied that Mrs.
York, of San Francisco, who had de
clared that Mrs. Chadwick and the So
called Madame De We're were one and
the same, was her own sister. She even
denied that Mrs. York was her half
sister or sister-in-law.
I'VE were simply raised together"
said Mrs. Chadwick, that was all"
Asked If she would say anything in
regard to Mrs. York's statement that
she, Mrs. Chadwick, was Madame De
We're, Mrs. Chadwick said:
81 have made absolutely no state
ment about this Madame De We're bus
mess from beginning to end. Out of
justice to my little boy | will not do
it at the present time. | dent thu
that any responsible person would pay
any attention to statement made
by Mrs. York. If had sister or a
brother who was in trouble. no matter
what her past life had been, II
could do him ca her any good, GER
tainly would shield him or her from
harm 1t is unkind and unfair for any
person to give out statement such
as Mrs. York did for publication and
| questioned whether she gave it out
unless she was paid for it. Everything
WILL however, work itself out for me
and | don't want to say anything Of
Mrs. York. / will make a statement
here in the vers near future and al.
so one in Cleveland. The newspapers
have probably written up great SEN
sation but | wish it to be said that
Madame De Vere's whereabouts and
everything else in connection with
this case will be shown in very short
time. In justice to my child, l don't
want to make any further statement
at this time"
Mrs. Chadwick denied that the
young woman Freda Svenson who has
been constantly at her side, is hAr
daughter, as had been intimated In
some of the newspapers this after
noon. The latter stated chat she was
Mrs. Chadwicks nurse, that she was
a graduate of the Nurses Institution
of Stockholm, Sweden, and had been
in this country about seven months.
A few minutes later she learned that
her lawyer had failed IN his Efforts
to get bail and she made ready for
the trip to the stone prison few
blocks away.
There was an element which bor-
dered upon tragedy IN the entrance of
Mrs. Chadwick through the barred
door of the Tombs. There was some
thing in this sight that stirred the
human sentiment Of even the cal
loused turnkey and his deputies. 1t
was not sympathy, in the broad sense
of that word, which the spellbound
onloolsers felt within them, it was.
rather a poignant sense of pity for
a woman whose remarkable genius
and mental development had been SO
misdirected or mistaken that the gold
en- foible of high respectability" had
been snatched from her and iron and
stee! closed down and claimed her
for their own.
AS the coach bearing Mrs. Chad
wick, her maid and son and the chat
tering marshal sped down the dark
streets IL was suddenly brought to
standstill at the corner of Center and
Duane streets. A crowd of factory
girls. working overtime to supply the
Christmas rush in trade. were pouring
out into the street from dingy shop.
The cabman had to draw a taut rein
quickly to prevent his team from run

thin faced girls, who were 80 intent
