ASSETS $1,000.
One Good Note Is Found Among Mrs
CIlalIWick'S PaDerS.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 1.-THE cred
itors of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick as a
whole will receive about one and one
half mills on the dollar, according to
the most accurate estimate of the wo-
mans estate before the receiver has
made an investigation.
What lends additional interest to
this showing from the creditors stand
point is that one man, Iri Reynolds,
will receive the whole of the assets
visible at the present time. There
may be funds in reserve somewhere,
as there may be additional creditors
Chadwick is indebted to them, but it
is not expected by bankers and at
torneys of this city who have the
greatest knowledge of her affairs that
veloped.
The extreme of her operations is
now believed to be approximately as
follows:
Secured from Citizens National
bank of Oberlin and various sources
in and about Lorain county, Ohio,
100000.
Borrowed from Herbert d. Newton,
Borrowed from business men in
Pittsburg, 100000.
Total, $1,190.000.
Against this stands security of known
value only one good note amounting to
$500, which is held by Iri Reynolds.
The amount of money received by
Mrs. Chadwick in Pittsburg may run
as high as $500. 900, but it is believed
that a portion of this sum is a bonus
promised by her for an original loan of
at least Il million dollars Her creditor
there figures that she is indebted to him
for the larger amount, while she adj
mitted that she owes u million dollars.
If her debt in this direction is $500, 900
the probability in sight of the creditors
is about l is mills on the dollar. 1t is
not believed by any of the attorneys in
the case that the Carnegie securities
will be of any account whatever. If
they do at any time reveal value other
than that of so many cents per pound of
white paper, the delight of the lawyers
will be comparable only to their amaze
ment and just now they are anticipat-
ing neither pleasure nor establishment
1t is the opinion of some of the lead
ing attorneys of Cleveland that a
charge of forgery cannot be made to
hold in connection with these notes.
They declare that it is not an act of
forgery for one person to write the
name of another, but the offense lies in
the attempt to negotiate such a sigma
ture for a specific value. They say
there is, so far, no evidence that Mrs.
Chadwick has done this. She has not
sold nor attempted to sell the notes

STABBED WITH HATPIN.
Two Department Store Employees Vic
Tins of Pickpocket.

Kansas City, Dec. IA bold woman
pfckpocket was the cause of excitement
in the store of the Jones Dry Goods
company at Twelfth and Main streets
Saturday afternoon at about 5, o'clock
She began operations in an elevator
which was filled with Christmas shop
pers. Mrs. Jessie Stewart, a detective
employed by @he company, was in the
elevator and the pickpocket selected her
as a victim. She tried to remove a bag
from the belt of the detective and it
was then that the trouble began. The
two women struggled for supremacy
and the pickpocket Jabbed Mrs. Stewart
with hat pin, infiicting painful but not
serious wounds on her arms
When the elevator reached the first
floor the thief attempted to escape and
wild scramble on the part of the spec
tators resulted. In the mixup toys and
pretty Christmas goods were strewn
about the floor Women shoppers
screamed, children cried, the salesgirls
became historical from excitement and
the aisles became congested with the
crowds attracted by the scuf1e.
During all the turmoil Mrs. Stewart
held fast to her prisoner. A floor walker
attempted to assist her. The thief re-
sumed her hat pin exercise and the floor
walker retired with a few punctures in
his body as souvenirs of his gallant on
slaught. Officer Metzinger of the Wal
nut street police station finally entered
the store in response to a call. The hat
pin had no terrors for him. He seized
the woman by the. shoulders and soon
had her under control.
She was taken to the Walnut street
police station and was held in the cap
tain's office for investigation. The doors
of the room were closed and the woman
was left alone in the room for a few
moments while an officer went to call
the captain. In the room are two win
dows, one on the east side of the street
side, and the other opens into a vacant
lot on the south side
When the captain went into the room
to question the pickpocket the south
window was open and the woman had
gone. The window is about five feet
above the ground and proved an easy
avenue of escape. On the ground was
found a fur boa. AS soon as the es-
cape was discovered patrolmen were
sent in all directions to search for the
woman, but she had disappeared. A
pedestrian saw her scale the fence sur
rounding the vacant lot and run swiftly
up Fifteenth street to Grand avenue.

VERDICT AGAINST CoALCoMBINE
A Victim Secures Judgment in the
Federal Court.

Kansas City, Dec. IA jury in the
federal court found that the Central
Coal and Coke company, the Bolen
Coal company, the Laning-Harris Coal
company and other big coal companies
in Kansas City were members of an
unlawful combination which fixed the
prices of coal and regulated the sup
ply in the Kansas City market. The
jury practically decided that these
coal companies encouraged the COM
bination to which the coal jobbers and
operators at the mines in Kansas and
Missouri were parties and by working
together, froze out of the market the
retail dealer who would not obey the
combines mandates.
The verdict was given in the case
of S. p. FOrsee, a former retail coal
dealer, who testified that he had been
driven out of business by the COM
bine. He sued for $4,000 damages
The jury fixed Forsee's damages at
the nominal sum of 81, with $500 for
attorney fees.

HUNIBERr PARALLEL.
Mrs. Chadwick's Case Likened to That
of the Erenchwoman.

Paris, Dec 12.-Mrs. Cassie L. Chad
wick has been frequently hkened to
Nine. Therese Humbert, prime mover
and leader in the notorious Humbert
case of this city now with her husband
undergoing a sentence of Imprisonment
Comparison between the two, however,
makes Mrs. Chadwick's operations, as
at present known, seem small. Nine.
Humbert, it was said at her trial, by
reason of a fortune which she pretend
ed was concealed in a safe, obtained at
at least 140 million dollars in renewals,
premiums and bonuses passed through
her hands.
Nine. Humbert, with the assertion
that she had assisted Robert Henry
Crawford, an American millionaire,
when he fell ill at Nice and was made
heiress to 20 million dollars securities
which were locked in her safe, began
three wills to show that the money was
in the safe, one leaving all to her, an
other dividing it between her and 9TH
ers and a third dividing 1t between her
younger sister, Marie Danringnac, and
the supposed millionaire's two American
nepheWs Henry and Robert Crawford.
To aid in this, she had attorneys bring
suit in the name Of the Crawford neph-
ews which not only succeeded in having
the French courts doubly lock the safe
with the official seal, but gave an air of
strength to her story by decreeing that
certain facts admitted by both parties
to the suit were true.
That meant that the money was in
the safe and was to remain there until
Marie Dauringnac became 81 years old.
1t was comparatively easy after that.
The HumbertS took a magnificent house
in the Avenue de La Grande Armee, and
there they entertained successfully
President Carnot and President F'aure,
with General Boulanger and other Par
islam notables. Mime. Humbert bought
a country place, the Chateau des Wives
Faux an hours ride from Paris, and
on the stream flowing through it had
steam yacht. She purchased vineyards
and other country places. She caused
her husband to enter the French cham
Der of deputies and very nearly landed
him in the cabinet. The family lived
at a most extravagant rate and its
name was always to the fore in public
and other charitable af-
fairs.
To do this, one banker in Lille gave
her 81, SOC, 900 at various times, another
banker gave her 100000, while host
followed suit in similar amounts. The
upshot came when Marie Dauringnac
reached the age of 81 years, and there
was no dividend forthcoming. Mime.
Humbert fought it off as long as she
could, but at last the safe was opened.
The total value of the securities found
there was perhaps So. The family was
and afterward sentenced. Ten
suicides of bankers ruined by the swim
die followed.

for cash. She has not said that she
would be glad to obtain money in ex-
change for them She has obtained
money from various sources on the
statement of Fri Reynolds that She to
the best of her knowledge and belief,
held securities of a certain value
Whether proven correct or otherwise
in his value of the notes there can be
no doubt that Mr.. Reynolds believed
what he said.
There has been, according to the at
torneyS, no evidence SO far elected
showing that Mrs Chadwick obtained
money on these notes in any ether man
ner than through the attestation of Iri
Reynolds that he had seen the notes
and considered them good. If any man
lent money to Mrs. Chadwick according
to the strength of his belief in the abil-
ity of Mr.. Reynolds to judge accurately
of the value of securities, then the af-
fair, according to the attorneys who
hold this view of the case, is one that
rests only between that man and his
own hard luck. Other charges may be
brought home to her, they declare, but
in their opinion it will be somewhat diff
ficult to punish her for forgery in con-
nection with the Carnegie notes unless
it can be shown that she endeavored to
negotiate them. This apparently is the
opinion of the Lorain county grand jury.
which failed to return an indictment
against her.
The loan of $4,000 said to have been
received by Mrs. Chadwick in Pittsburg
or from man residing in that city is
declared to have been made to her by a
multimillionaire manufacturer of that
city. Mrs. Chadwick, in discussing this
statement, it is known, declared that
she did owe him Y million dollars, but
not 100000 as has been claimed.
The question of the rival receivers
will be settled tomorrow morning at $50
o'clock in the Office of Nathan Loeser.
who was appointed by the United States
district court to take charge of the
Chadwick securities Receiver Herbert
w. Bell, who was appointed by Judge
Babcock of the common pleas court, is
expected to call with his attorneys upon
Receiver Loeser at that hour and with
draw from the position.
