MRS. CASSIE L. CHADWICK.

elizabeth Bisiey was the daughter of poor
Canadian farmer.
While young woman she was tried a
charge of forgery, but acquitted the ground
of insanity.
few years later she married to Or.
w. S. sPrnasteen, in Cleveland but they were
soon divorced.
In 1887, Nine. De We're, she found
guilty Of forgery in Toledo and sent to
prison, being released in 1898.
Lived in Cleveland in 1894 Mrs, c. l..
Hoover, and in 1897 was married to Or. Leroy
S. Chadwick.
Carried on her operations in high finance by
borrowing funds the basis OF supposed Sc
curities, now declared worthless. the face value
of which was many millions of dollars.
Her victims included men of financial stand
ing and prominence in Cleveland, Oberlin and
other Ohio cities. The total amount secured
by her is estimated at 100000. Her endless
chain" system Of borrowing from man to
pay bonuses and the importunate demands OF
creditors cut when suit was begun against
her by n. D. Newton, of BrookIIne, Mass, TO
recover $4,000 She had gained his confidence
by letter of introduction from the pastor OF
the Baptist Church in Cleveland which John
D. Rockefeller attends.
The disclosures following her arrest and i'm :
prisonr1ent in the Ton1bs in this city in default
of $4,000 bail led to the discovery of the worth

the name OF Andrew Carnegie appeared, valued
at SIS, 600 o00 and that other alleged securities of
