Cincinnati. Nov. lo-Mrs. Jeanette Stew
art, also known as Mrs Ford. one OF the
women accused by Charles l.. Warmer.
defaulting local treasurer of the Big -Four
Railroad. OF having shared IN his pecula-
tions by blackmaillng him, declared to-
night that she would tell the whole story
of the s643.Ooo theft when the case came
TO court. Mrs. Stewart denied she had
ever received money from Warriner.
The sudden breaking OF her silence was
caused. according 10 Mrs Stewart, by a
quarrel which she had with another woman
who has also been mentioned by Warriner
This quarrel resulted in the attachment
OF Mrs. Stewards furniture to-day. The
officers who made the attachment were
quickly followed by reporters. and In the
stress Of excitement Mrs. Stewards reserve
broke down.
II never received cent from Charles
Warriner." she said, land l never gave
any information to the railroad about his
shortage II was another woman that did
II ALL a woman 1 thought was my friend
/ know the whole story and win tell II In
court, too.
This woman" said Mrs. Stewart, II
took into my fiat and she occupied II While
I was out OF town. 1 thought she was my
friend. She went to department store
and guaranteed my account there Now
we have quarreled and she has gone up
there and withdrawn her guarantee, re-
sultlng in this suit against me.
I'm not afraid OF any official OF the Big
Four. They haven't anything against me.
and 1 dare them 10 have me arrested. L
refuse TO answer whether l ever had any
financial relations with Cook"
Although she spoke freely, Mrs. Stew
ART refused to open the door TO the bed
room from which she talked. The report
ers standing at the bedroom door, shout
ed queries to Mrs Stewart. who answered
them from the other side.
Though weeping continually, the woman
was vehement when she mentioned the
name of Mrs. May BrOckway, but When
ever the name of Cook was mentioned her
voice softened perceptibly.
While a resident OF Chicago. IT is said.
Mrs. Stewart was defendant In a criminal
prosecution in which she was charged
with having attempted TO shoot Cook
Mrs. Stewart explained her lavish ex-
penditure of money In the past by saying
that as the daughter of Martin Timmons,
of Portsmouth, Ohio. she had inherited a
large fortune and had not been dependent
upon any one
The other woman said to be involved IN
the case started to leave Cincinnati to-
night, but was advised by detectives that
If she left the city her arrest would follow.
She then decided not TO go.
Warriner says he lost the stolen s6iSooo
in stock speculation and in satisfying the
demands of blackmailers. but that explana-
ton is not satisfactory to the officials. The
stock plunging was conducted through New
York and Chicago brokers. according TO his
confession, but so far investigation has been
unable TO discover any record Of the losses
he saws he sustained. Warriner says he is
nenniless. and his neighbors at his home
IN wyoming. Ohio. declare that he Is
sick man.
II Is admitted by railroad officers that
Uarriner might have continued his pecu-
Iations indefinitely IL he had not been be-
traved nv a woman. SO great was his su-
,,eriors' confidence in him.
The railroad officials denied emphahcally
TODAY that they had grounds for suspect
i,,, that WARMERS alleged shortage may
90 as high as s2,coO.Ooo. and asserted their
be,ief that the maximum had been reached
,r the sum named. $4,000
