Intention to Kill Herself.

Ransom-RescucF For Ober-
lin Bank.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Director j. Il.
Randolph of the failed Citizens bank
OF Oberlin, O., has made the startling
statement that the signature on the
collateral notes for 100000 and $3.50.
600 OH which Mrs Cassie l.. Chadwick
was loaned money is not worth a
dollar. He said be had seen the notes,
and they are not signed by Andrew
Carnegie; that such Il story is ridicu-
lous. In his opinion, Mr. Randolph
says, the signature does not add Il dol
lar TO the value of the paper.
President Henry Churchill King of
Oberlin college, referring to the report
that Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick had Sc
ing to $4,000, said:
Mrs. Chadwick does not owe the
college a cent on the loan in question.
1t is true that we did make her lOan
but ii was later taken up by President
Beckwith of the Citizens National
bank"
Mrs. Chadwick will settle the claim
made against her by Herbert b. New
ton of Brookline. Mass, for Sl9,S00
upon a cash basis and in full" was the
statement by George Ryall, of Baggott
and Rysll, New York counsel for Mr..
Newton. He added:
II have seen Mrs. Chadwick ut her
apartments at the Holland House. ANA
as a result of my talk with her | am
able to say that the case will be set
tied in a few days satisfactorily to my
client
Mrs. Chadwick has many powerful
friends, both in this city and in Cleye-
land, who are interested in her case,
and our debt will be settled out OF
court amicably."
Mrs. Chadwick has sent two tele-
grams to Cleveland evening newspa-
pers. They were the same and worded
as follows:
please deny reported suicide and
further say have no intention of com
hitting any such act"
President C. T. Beckwith of the
wrecked Citizens National bank OF
Oberlin. O., in speaking of Mrs. Chad
wick, whose paper wrecked the insti-
tuition, said:
Il know good deal about Mrs.
Chadwick which am not prepared to
tell at this time. | first met her two
years ago, when she came to see me
about making a loan. Before knew ii
she had borrowed a larger sum than l
supposed l then made the mistake
Of loaning her money from the bank.
Il know this much about Mrs. Chad
wick. she has not the handling of her
own money, and that is what has EN-
barrassed her. She is absolutely help
less, but / have seen three chests full
of jewels which she owns which are
worth kings ransom. They must
have cost ut least 100000. fully be
lieve she will ultimately pay all the
money she owes
1t is said that Judge Albaugh is on
his way TO Oberin from New York and
that he has with him security great
enough 10 cover the loan which was
made through the Oberlin bank to Mrs
Cassie Chadwick of Cleveland, Presi-
dent Beckwith now openly refers to
the loan in its entirety as a 100000
loan.
There was a touch of bitterness in
the reply that Mr.. Beckwith gave when
asked if he had any knowledge of the
method Mrs. Chadwick would use in
sum large enough to cover
the Oberlin loan.
Perhaps she will get hold Of some |
one greener than | ana secure 100000 |
from HIM" he said.
