It was then freely Resume of the Chad wick Case Statement of the Principle Facts in One of the Most Famous Cases in History. It turns out that Mrs Chadwlck has proven herself to be one of the moat accomplished swindlers of either sex and lo any age. To be able to so live that one may from the ordi nary conduct of life, command confidence In the first place is an easy task bat to lay the fonnd atlon whereby twenty million dollars may be obtained from national banks and leading brokers without one penny'a security is not only . remark able but ahowe a moat extraordinary power of persuasion and almost an nn paralleled influence over the sharp est portion of the business oommunity Mrs Chadwlok determined to raise money through the lnfluenoe of the second i irbest man in America And. raw Carnegie Because Carnegie was giving i way an hundred million dollars for public institutions like libraries and churches it was ealaer to nee the name of Carnegie than the name of Rockefeller, Vho confines his glits very atrictly fcto the University of Chloago and a fe religious instltut. Ions : This was the first step toward Igaln- initthe confidence of bankers. The next step was a bolder one and yet made its appeal to a certain class of men and especially more strongly to financiers and that was that sh waa the illegitimate .daughter of Andrew Carnegie, and therefore h d a pull on the old capitalist that no one else oo aid poeeibly .have. Then she forged his notes for several million dollars in oonvealent chunks, ranging from 1250,000 to 1750,000 re spectively. Then when she had taken these first stfps it was only necessary to flash before the face of her financial friends the forged notes to carry implote oonvlotlon as to the troth of er first stories. When ahe added to this the putting of these notes, and a declaration from Mr t;arnegle also forged that he held in his possession ten million dol lars of property specifying In detail of which that property consisted and then placed that document la escrow ae a sort of security for the loans she made. Mrs Chad wiok had completed the entire circuit neoessary for' the obtainance of any amount of money which ahe might demand. Moreover many of her largest debts were as promptly paid when they ma tured as if MrChadwick bad been! worth Uie ten million she oialmed predicted that the stronghold would in iU nttMt Ka th. c! ItZ Japanese before the end of the week. The repeated losses anstalned by the Japanese in their attacks have led to a more cautious plan, ae shown by the quantities of trenohtng tools sent for ward. It la not believed here in Toklo that another general assault mar be expected for many days, and perhaps weeks. The Bosalan Baltlo fleet ha been so divided In 1U aaillng to the far eaat that the Japanese are oonfldent that Togo will be able to meet the diff erent squadrons as they come and an nihllate thera with comparative ease. were held by Carnegie In her behalf. Moreover, also, the particular docu ment which Mr Carnegie bad s'gned according to Mrt Chadwiok's exhibit, so arranged affairs that in oaee of Carnegie's death the trust terminated and all the property was to be deliver ed to Mrs Chadwlok . without process of law. These were the premisess which weie laid before Mr Beckwitb of the Citizene National Bauk of Oberlin, Jhio and which convlnoed him that Mrs Chadwlck was not only one of the most wonderful women thejworld ever knew b t extraorntnarily rloh I Then to make assurance doubly sure, Mrs Chadwick promised todeposit in Mr Beckwith's bank five million dollars the instant that her property ahould be released from Mr Carnegie's hands Not only that, but both lie k with and his cashier Jwere promised the splendid annual income of forty thous and dollars to manage that five mil lion dollars when it shoutd be obtain ed. Thus tilings went on until Beck with's bank in violation of the strict est banking laws of the nation ad van. oed this women a million and quarter of money. It happened however that the old lady had run the full financial race and must begin to d mble upon ber tracks, for she had squandered money like water after she had been able to make these large loans and when the pinch came and ahe was compelled to pay a broker In Boston $196,000 she coolda t rslse the funds to do .It end disaster promptly followed Mrs Chadwick now lies in the Tombs In New fork City charged "with for gery and the obtaining of. millions of dollars by false pretenses, Mr .
