Trustee of Mrs. Chadwicl<'s Assets
 Calls on New York Financier.
 CLEVELAND, O., March 6.-Trus- tee of the Chadwick assets, Nathan Loeser, and County Prosecutor liar. vey R. Keeler called by appointment upon Andrew Carnegie at the home of Sylvester T. Everett in this city. Mir. Loeser brought with him the famous $5,OOO,OOO note and the equally famous trust agreement. The officials obtain ed specimens of Mir. Carnegie's hand writing for the purpose of comparing it with the writing on the paper which Mrs. Chadwick used as security for many of her transactions. Mir. Car negie was amused when he saw the documents beaffng his name. The dis similarity between the signature which MT. Carnegie wrote for MT. Keeler and the signature which was reputed to be his on the bank paper was marked.
 Mir. Carnegie said that he was will ing to come to Cleveland in the inter- est of justice as often as necessary, that he regarded it as his duty as a citizen to do so and that every citizen should aid in the punishment of crime wherever found.
 Mir. Carnegie said that he would be in court at 9:3O in the morning to be sworn as a witness in the govern ment's case.
 Mir. Carnegie, in the course of his talk with Prosecutor Keeler and Trus- tee Loeser, repeated his former state ments that he had never met Mrs. Chadwick; had never even heard of her until the financial crash in. the woman's financial affairs came. In- asmuch as the great ironmaster and the prisoner who is on trial meet in court today face to face for the first time the scene is likely to prove a dramatic one.
