The financial world was startled,
shocked, and finally amazed by the
enormity of the swindling operations
of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, as well
as her method and her victims. By
the use of three sealed packages
supposed to contain securities and
notes which are signed ANDREW Car
negie," TO the value of $13,750,000,
deposited in trust with Iri Reynold,
secretary of the Wade Park Banking
Company, of Cleveland, Mrs. Chad
wick obtained loans and secured cred
it to the extent of at least $780,
600. The real worth of the contents
of the packages is perhaps $1,000.
Mrs. Chadwick is now in prison in
New York City. G. I. Beckwith.
president of the Citizens National
Bank of Oberlin. Ohio. and A. B.
Spear. cashier of the same institu-
ton, have been arrested charged with
embezzlemcnt; the bank has closed its
doors; the savings of the depositors
swept away. and hundred of business
men and families made bankrupt.
The operations extend over a period
of two years. Mrs. Chadwick OBJ
tanned the first loans by paying a
large bonus for the accommodation
and by exhibiting. after the bankers
had made oath that the nature of the
security would never be revealed.
notes signed "Andrew Carnegie"
She borrowed from one banker to
pay the other. each time increasing
the loan and giving a larger bonus.
A suit brought by Herbert ID. New
ton. a Boston banker, to obtain pay
ment of a loan made to Mrs. Chad
wick. brought her schemes of under
world finance to the surface. and the
denial b. the steel magnate and
donor of libraries of any knowledge
Of the woman and the notes bearing
The signature "Andrew Carnegie" re-
solved those securities into thin air.
Later. by order of the court. the
sealed packages held in trust in the
Cleveland bank we're orened. and the
millions of securities we're proven
mythical. Mrs. Chadwi, IS the wife

Europe Mrc Chadwick's history
previous to her marriage to DIR.
Chadwick is not clear. 1t is said
that under the name of Madame
Devere. she served a term in the
Ohio Penitentiarv for forgery. The
case has attracted internal atten-
ton. Tt is a painful and costly ex-
e~mplifcation of the frailties of hu-
man nature. and bids fair TO rival the

asked the court to open every Denver
ballot box, but the order of the court
goes beyond the mere examination of
the ballots and provides for an inves-
tigation of the registration lists, the

all election matters.
Attorney Samuel W. Bedford, for
Adams, and Attorney Henry j. Her
sey, for the Republicans, asked the
court to make it's order of such
breadth that the court need not stop
at anything in the investigation. The
court said that was what it meant to
do, and instructed the lawyers to
agree upon the wording of the order
and present it to the court for approval
next Tuesday.
