wanderer without home. property, or
friends" declares Reynolds.
Or. Chadwick Dare Not Return.
"Will he return? No, he must con.
tinue to wander about the face of the
earth until he dies. He will not dare
to come back to Cleveland. He would
be arrested as he gave me check or
the Lincoln Trust company of New

greater sensation than did the expo

He knew as we'll as what was In the
package. 1t was he who asked for
the attest. 1t was Mrs. Chadwick who
handed me a rough draft of the at
tests written in pencil and requested
me to write 1t out In ink and sign my
name to 1t.
Was 1t Gamble With Death?
The theory has been advanced that
Mrs. Chadwick had deposited the Car
negte trust deed and notes with Iri
Reynolds in the expectation of using
them only after the death Of Andrew
Carnegie. When the ironmaster died
it is argued, she proposed to come for

child and with the notes and trust
agreement signed by him hoping to
profit largely by the settlement she
