CASSIE CHADWICK DIES IN PRISON STEAMSHIP PROUDLY SWEEPS INTO PORT Believed Ready to Tell Son About Treasure Trove COLUMBUS, O. Oct 11. (Special) —Mrs. Cassie Chadwick died last night in the woman's ward of the Ohio penitentiary. Her only attend' ants were the hospital physician and the nurses. Her son, Emil Hoover, was on his way to her side at the time. Her death was due to neusras- thenia, superinduced by remorse and the disgrace of her sentence. It is the belief of the prison offici als that she was ready to confess to her son the hiding place of the large sums which she is believed to have "salted away” in connection with her financial operations had be arrived in time. Her swindling schemes netted her around a million dollars, and while much of this was spent, there is yet a considerable sum unaccount ed for. The secret of its hiding place may never be discovered. Mrs. Chadwick was a native of Can ada. Twenty years ago she was convicted at Toledo, 0„ of fogeryand given a sentence of nine years. After serving a part of this term, she was released and soon married a man named Hoover. Her second husband was Dr. LeRoy Chadwick, of Cleve land, O., a physician of prominence. In the latter part of 1902, or early in 1903, Mrs. Chadwick, in the pres ence of her husband, gave ta Ira Reynolds, the cashier of the Wade Park Bank of Cleveland, a box con taining notes signed with the name of Andrew Carnegie. Those forged notes are alleged to have amounted to $7,500,000. Reynolds gave a receipt for the papers, which described the notes and the signatures upon them. Mrs. Chadwick left with Reynolds, as an explanation of the notes, the statement that she was a natural daughter of Cargenie. With the receipt of Reynolds in her possession, Mrs. Chadwick went to different banks and many capitalists making loans, and paying, not only high interest to the banks, but heavy bonuses to bank officials who loaned her the money. Mrs. Chadwick was brought to trial March 6, 1905, and after a hearing which lasted two weeks, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud a na tional bank, and was sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary. Her health which wag not good at the time of the trial, failed steadily after its con elusion. “City of Savannah” Carries Newspaper Guests.
