Bryan VIII Offset the Activity Of
His Opponents.

Richmond, VT, Oct. 11.-William
j. Bryan arrived in Richmond today
to deliver an address at the Virginia
State fair. On the advice of close
political associates with whom he has
recently conferred, Mr.. Bryan, II is
understood, will make his address on
the issues of the day, and in a sense
the speech will be a curtain raiser for
the 1908 campaign.
According to those in a position to
know, 1t has been Mr.. Bryan's inten-
tion all along to defer the opening of
his campaign until near the end of
the year. The activity of President
Roosevelt Vice President Fairbanks
and other republican leaders has
brought about a change in the plans
of Mr. Bryan, however.
His friends have urged him to de-
clare himself at once upon the po-
litical issues of the day. They have
impressed upon the Nebraskan the
necessity for immediate action in
view of the recent attacks upon him
in the southern states of the Atlantic
seaboard.
Acting upon their advice, Mr.. Bry-
an decided to appear in person and
answer the attacks made upon him.
After filling his Richmond date he
will make a visit at a number Of
places in Virginia and North Caro-
line. He will then go north, stopping
en- route for conference in Wash
ington. and later will be heard in a
number Of cities In New York state.
He will remain in the east for some
weeks and according to schedule will
fill a number of dates in New Eng
land.

Cassie l.. CHADWICK, whose Ilnancldl
transactions eliminated in the wreck
ing Of an Oberlin bank, died in the
womans ward of the Ohio state
penitentiary at 1906 last night.
Mrs. Chadwick had been in a COM
atose condition for some hours and
the end was peaceful. No friends or
relatives waited at her bedside-only
the prison physician and attendants.
Her son. Emil Hoover, had been sum-
moned from Cleveland, but he was
not expected to arrive until today.
Was a Forger.
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, whose
maiden name was Elizabeth Bogley,
was native of Canada. She came
into public notice in Toledo, Ohio,
about 20 years ago where she told
fortunes under the name of Madame
Devere.
While in this city she forged the
name OF Richard Brown, Young
stown, Ohio, and for this. crime was
sent to the penitentiary at Column
bus for nine years. She served but
a portion of this sentence, and then
located in Cleveland where she mar
ried a man named Hoover. Her sec
ond husband was DR.. Leroy S. Chad
wisk of Cleveland. a man of good
family and excellent standing in his
profession.
In the latter part of 1902, or early
in 1903 Mrs. Chadwick, in the pres
ence of her husband, gave Iro Rein
olds, cashier of the Wade Park bank
of Cleveland. a box containing notes
signed with the name of Andrew Car
negie. These forged notes are al
legged to have amounted to $500, 900.
Reinolds gave Mrs Chadwick a re-
ceipt for the papers which described
the notes and the signatures upon
them. Mrs. Chadwick; Left with
Reinolds as an explanation of the
existence of the notes the statement
that she was a natural daughter of
Carnegie.
With the receipt of Reinolds in her
possession, Mrs. Chadwick went to
different banks and many capitalists,
making loans and paying not only
high interest to the banks, but bo-
muses. to the bank officials who loaned
her the money

The extent of these transactions

financial world, and have caused
heavy losses to many banks.
In December, 1904, she was sued
by man named Newton Brooklyn
from whom she had borrowed a large
amount which she was unable to pay.
Other creditors came down upon her, |
and within a short time she was plac-

The Tragedy Ends.
Mrs. Chadwick, Beckwith and |
Spear were indicted for a variety of |
offenses against the national banking |

to trial. Spear pleaded guilty: was
sentenced to seven years in the peni-
tentiary, and is now serving time in
Columbus, Ohio. Mrs. Chadwick was

two weeks, was found guilty of con-

As an outcome of the disclosure

forth the knights of the green cloth
will not be treated with the extreme
consideration that has been shown
them In the past.
AS to the responsibility for the fall
ure to enforce the circuit courts de-
cree there is much division Of opin-
ion and seemingly the blame lies in
the system" that has been followed
rather than upon any particular Of
fetal There is no doubt but there
has been too much laxity on the part
OF the sheriff, county clerk and pos
sibly others, yet no one familiar with
the facts accuses any particular man
Of intentional wrong. All declare
that they were wholly ignorant OF
the state of affairs until It was call
ed to their attention wednesday.
Sheriff Taylor, when shown the
list of unpaid fines showed great sur
prise. He took blame upon himself
for two recent fines that had not been
paid, though not included in the pub
lished list, but regarding the others
he declared he was entirely ignor-
ant and did not feel that the fault
rested with him, -.
Attorneys I'm Court.
In many instances where gamblers
have been before the court they have
been represented by attorneys and
have never appeared personally. Sell
dom If ever has one been in custody
of the sheriff. When the fines were
imposed they were usually paid to
the county clerk at the time or
shortly afterwards. 1t has since been
discovered that many imposed upon

failed entirely to pay up.
According to Sheriff Taylor he pre-
sumed all of the fines had been paid

prisoners are sent to the county jail
from the Justice courts.
County Clerk Frank Sailing was al
so surprised at the state of affairs
and since Wednesday Deputy Brown
has been engaged in checking up
matters to ascertain the station. He
has found that in several instances
the fines were paid and the money
turned over to the treasurer, but an
entry of the same had never been
made upon the Judgment docket. In
the case of John Endicott, which oc-
Cured during the time w. d. Cham
herlain was clerk, the money had
been paid and turned over, but the
Judgment had not been satisfied on
the docket.
Many Have Not Paid.
But while II has been found that
some of the fines enumerated We'd
nesday have been paid the investga-
tion has also revealed others that
have not and the search has not i'm

ed that Jock Noble, former marshal
of Echo, has never paid the $50 fine
he was subjected to when convicted
Of gambling while he was the towns
peace officer. Where Noble is now
no one seems to know and 1t appears
doubtful If the county will be paid
At the time Noble was allowed to go
on the statement Of his lawyer, L. A.
Esteb, that the fine would be paid.
