Andrew Squire who came here yester- day from Cleveland with Ira Reynolds. secretary of the Wade Park Banking company, had a half hours conversa- ton with Mrs. Chadwick.

 MT. Squire further said that he did not know the present wherabouts of Mr. Reynolds, who is said to have in his possession the $5,0O0,0OO in securities belonging to Mrs. Chadwick. The de- putty maushals and secret service men who were in Mrs. Chadwick's room, said that the name of Andrew Carnegie was mentioned several times and that the sound of the name each time caus- ed Mrs. Chadwick to smile. The officers added that though nervous Mrs. Chad wick does not appear as i'll as repre- scented.
