CLEVELAND’S WOMAN ENIGMA.

Myiterjr Over the Chadwick Caae and Alleged Bogus Securities.

The Sensational revelations in the career of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, wife of a prominent Cleveland physician, whose marvelous success in borrowrowing large sums of money from bnnks and- fmaneia 1 kings, have startled every business community in the country. A labyrinth of mystery, suspicion and charges entangles the leader of Clevela ml society„ in this crisis of her eventful career, and there seems to he no end to the tangle over the case and the alleged bogus securities put tip upon which she borrowed hundreds o? thousands of dollars. Stories about the name of Andrew Carnegie being used as indorser of the $300,000 note are reiterated from many sources, although the report that Mr.

Carnegie knew anything of the woman was denied on behalf of the ironmaster. It was said that this same $500,000 note, bearing the name of Mr. Carnegie, was used in securing numerous other loans from Ohio banks besides the Oberiiti institution and finally was the chief means in obtaining the loan of $190,800 from Mr. Newton of Brookline, Mass., upon which Mrs. Chadwick was sued. From the. various statements of the persons who have loaned the woman such immense sums of money came the assurance that they believe her to be possessed of several millions in securities, some placing it as high as $5,000,000. All agree, however, that such securities as she has are tightly locked up in the vaults of the Oberlin bank in sealed packages. The Citizens’ National Bank of Oberlin was closed and placed in the hands of the national bank examiner for examination and investigation. A New York dispatch Thursday stated that acceptance had been made of the arrangement entered into between the attorneys for Mrs.'Chadwick and H. D. Newton for the settlement of the suit brought by Newton to recover money leaned.
