neEie. Mr.. Carnegie'w was annoyed, how
ever, when he discovered that the sum-
mons required him to make the trip to
Cleveland.
1t was semioficially announced that.
after Mr.. Carnegie returns from Cleve-
land, he will be served with a subpoena
tor his appearance here at the investi-
CATION next Saturday, unless Mrs. Chad
wick agrees to go to Cleveland in the
meantime.
Think Claim Will Be Paid.
Another important move in the Chad
wick case Monday was a hurried confer
Ence of her counsel with Lawyer George
Ryall, representing Banker Herbert D.
Newton, of Boston, and Mrs. Chadwick
at the Tombs. Mrs. Chadwick had
previously received what was believed
TO be a cablegram from her husband in
Europe. At the conclusion of the con-
ference Mr.. Ryall said. he again had
hopes that MI. Newton's claim would
be paid. Lawyer Ryall remained with
Mrs. Chadwick but a few minutes and
left when Lawyer Edmund w. Powers,
Of Mrs. Chadwick's counsel, entered the
conference. Mr.. Ryall said:
my object in visiting Mrs. Chadwick
WAS only in the interests of Mr.. Newton.

Mrs. Chadwick was still eager to go
to Cleveland, unless bail could be Sc
cured, her counsel said.

Investigation Begins.
Cleveland, O., Dec. 13.-The grand
jury of guyahoga county commenced
Monday an investigation into the af-
fairs of Mrs. Chadwick. County Prose-
cutor Keller was confident an indtct=
nent would be voted before night. AL
though it Is the desire of the prosecute
ting attorney to ecure an Indictment
for forgery, he has arranged his evi.
dence in such a manner as to cover
pretty much all manner OF Irregularities
In financial dealing. and if a vote against
Mrs. Chadwick should be refused in any
one particular he is confident of holding
her on something else.
Multiply Sensations.
Sensations multiplied in the Chad
wick case Monday. The most startling
development was the declaration of the
lawyers that Mrs. Chadwick might
never be punished for forging Andrew
C%arnegie's nam to securities" amount
ing to more than $50 0,00o. Almost
as surprising was Iri Reynolds state

an attest that they were worth $6,-

pers good because Mrs. Chadwick had
told him she was the iron masters

Accuses DR.. Chadwick.
Moreover, Mr.. Reynolds declared that
DR.. Chadwick knew the nature of the
securities, had seen the IS, 900, 900 Car

attest. He declared DR.. Chadwick was
