Chadwick at 5l5 o'clock this afternoon.
The defence waived the privilege of moving
the discharge Of Mrs. Chadwick and placed
a witness, 7 c. Doolittle. an expert ac-
countant, upon the stand. This. however,
does not indicate any elaborate defence.
as L may be closed With this one witness,
Robert Lyons receiver for the Citizens
National Bank OF Oberlin said that the
acceptance Of three Chadwick notes, one
for $50 900 and two for $4,000 each, by the
bank and their being entered as a discount,
was a basis Of credit. Upon this two
drafts upon the Importers and Traders
National Bank of New York aegregltinE
$4,000 were issued by the Oberiin bank

Prudential Trust Company Of Cleveland
and became a part Of the 50? 500 to Mrs

To-day's sessions were enlivened by
forensic comta ats between the attorneys
that at times became heated 70 the point
Of personalities. Another incident Of SEN
sation nature was the lifting M Of The
defendants voice for the first time durin =
the trial. This was in the thick OF heated
ARRAY between the District Attorney on
one side and Mr.. Dawley on the other.

. Chadwick and the Oberlin Bank than thcso
set forth in the Indictment we will proceed

Mrs Chadwick. laughing, Bring them
all in
It is evident from the number Of e1cep-
tons being taken by the attorneys for
Mrs. Chadwick that they are preparing to
carry the case as high in the United States
courts as they can If the verdict Of the
jury is against Mrs. Chadwick.
