AGED BANKER DEAD.
President BeckWith of oberlin, O.,
Passes Away.

i . j r
Oberlin, O.. Feb. &C. T. Beck
with, presi.ient of the defunct Citi.
zens' National bank of this city, died
at 10:45 o'clock Sunday night after
two days of unconsciousness, during
which dissolution was expected at any
moment. Only the family surrounded
the death bed of the banker. Mr..
BeckWith was about sixty-fve years of
age.
On Dec. IA last the federal grand
jury in Cleveland returned five indict-
ments against Beckwith upon the
charge of violating the national bank
ing laws in connection with the loans
made to Mrs, Cassie L. Chadwick by
the Citizens National bank of Ober-
lin, of which deceased with the presi.
dent.
from the day of his arrest Beck
with's health failed rapidly as a result
of worry over his trouble. He fre-
quently declared during his illness
that he wanted to die. For several
days prior to his death he refused to
take food in any form. Death resulted
directly from heart trouble.
The death of President Beckwith
may materially weaken the cases OF
forgery and conspiracy to misapply
bank funds, now charged against Mrs.
Chadwick.
