Cleveland, Dec, 1S.-The trouble Of
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick increased at
a rapid rate yesterday. She was twice
indicted by the grand jury of Cuyahoga
county and her old time friend, lrt
Reynolds, took the stand in court and
made evident his intention to shield
and protect her no longer He present
ed a pathetic picture as he answered
questions which brought out his own
implicit faith in the woman whose f.
nancial transactions have well nigh
ruined him in fortune and caused him
such infinite trouble. He gave evil
dence, too, that he still believes his
trust was justified, Only one query he
attempted to evade This was when
he was asked how much of his person
al estate had passed into the posses
sion of Mrs. Chadwick. His eyes filed
and he requested that he be excused
from answering. The question was not
pushed
Information of the indictments
against the woman was at once wired
to New York by County Prosecutor
Keeier and he requested that Mrs,
Chadwick be Immediately rearrested If
she secured bail ON the other charges
hanging over her.
