nervousness.
Mrs. ChadWick's son Emil was asked
if he had seen the statement made by
Mrs. York of San Francisco relative
to his mothers past life. He said he
had. 1T is true that l have stayed at
her house and that 1 was taught as a
boy to call Mrs. York's boy my cousin
the boy answered.
Mrs. Chadwick said in reference to
Mrs. York's statement:
Il have not read all of it, but I will
leave it to public opinion and to refined
and educated persons what conclusions
they might draw when one sister
makes a statement like that against
another sister.
! Mrs. York is neither my sister nor
my half-sister nor my sister n-law.
We We're raised together"
"Will you say anything about her
statement that you are Madame De
Vere?"
Il have made absolutely no state
ment about this Madame De We're bust
ness from beginning to end. Out OF
justice to my little boy, | would not do
| it at the present time. l don't think
| that any responsible person would pay
any attention to a statement made by
Mrs. York. If I had a sister or 4
! brother who was in trouble. no matter
what that their past might have been.
| if could not do him or her good | Ger
| tainly would shield him or her from
| harm. 1t is unkind and unfair of any
| person to give such a statement for
publication. and | question whether she
gave it unless she was paid for il.
| There must have been some induce
| ment.
| For the benefit of the newspapers
and the public I would suggest that the
newspapers send to two or three re-
| sponsible people in Cleveland and who
know Mrs. York, ana ask them what
they think of her statement is,
| how much reliance they would put III
her word. Everything will work its
way out all right for me and ! don't
want to say anything against Mrs.
York at all. I shall make statement
here in the very near future. and also
one in Cleveland. The newspapers pos
| sibly have written up a great SenSa-
| ton. but | wish to say to YOU that
Madame De Vere's Whereabouts and
| everything else in connection with this
| shall be shown up in a very short time.
In justice to my child. I don't think
| it right to make amy further statement
at this time. My boys devotion to me
| and his loyalty to me is marvellous for
one only 10 years Old"
Mrs. Chadwick, it is intmated in
some of the afternoon papers that this
young woman you have with YOU is not
your maid but a relative of yours, pos
sibly your daughter"
| The young woman was sitting beside
her and she spoke up Immediately.

Il am not related to Mrs. Chadwick
| in any way; neither am | her maid.
She has French maid who is not with

from the Nurses Institution in Stock

she said. Not one of them came here
with any thought Of prosecuting me. /
don't think the public quite under
stands the situation. Mr.. Newton
brought this suit against me on Tues
day. Tuesday, they had a run on the
Wade Park Bank. OF course tina,
frightened the people because of the
enormous amount of the lawsuit, s21O.-

a little city of only about 100000 in

the Wade Park Bank became alarmed
that the bank was going to be ruined.

$4,000 and it was one of the best and
most conservative banks in Cleveland
No, l. am wrong; it was Friday the
