The name of the per son will be made public until Mon day when It is said he will sign the bond. The matter according to the author ity for the statement could have been settled today but Mrs. Chadwick de sired to remain In the Tombs over Sun day that she might have more time to future action. Several men would have given the necessary ball had they been able to do so with out their names becoming public, but the law states that the Identity of the bondsmen cannot be kept secret. It is also contrary to the court’s ruling for a lawyer lo give bail for hts client Mrs. Chadwick remained quietly in her cell today, receiving no callers, other than her counsel, son and nurse. She availed herself of the privilege which allows prisoners to exercise In settle the bank claims and the bonds. But the Income never came within j Natloi reach of the bank.

She had a severe attack of Illness In the afternoon but readily re sponded to treatment and Is much bet ter tonight. Her appetite Is good and she ate three hearty meals today. Just what has become of the money Mrs. Chadwick Is alleged to have rais ed on loans is a question which Is In teresting the persons connected with the case. It has been claimed that three years ago she settled $2,500,000 on her hus band, Dr. LeRoy S. Chadwick, and that since that time she has borrowed over $600,000. A rumor Is current tonight that efforts will be made at once to locate Dr. Chadwick and his daugh ter who sailed for Havre, France, on the steamer Ravole, from this port Nov. 3. They have been reported from several places In Europe, but Mrs. Chadwick and her attorneys have kept their exact whereabouts a secret. An other matter of Interest In the case Is the statement that Dr. Chadwick Is said to have given Herbert D. Newton of Brookline, Mass., two checks aggre gating $50,000 In tfarf payment for his wife’s indebtedness, which are alleged have come back from the bank from which they were drawn, stamped Without Funds." It was Intimated today that If Dr. Chadwick does not return from Europo soon, these checks may figure in Inter national proceedings. The Ruin of the Bank. CINCINNATI. O., Dec. 10.—An Ob erlln special says: In his statement of his dealings with Mrs. Chadwick, President Beckwith told of repeated visits to Mrs. Chad wick when promises were made that the money would soon be forthcoming. Finally W. R. Bedortha, attorney for the Oberlln bank, on his death-bed. told several directors of the bank that President Beckwith was involved with Mrs. Chadwick. This wns followed hy a trip to New York, participated In by the president and three directors, this occasion Attorney Powers was with Mrs. Chadwick. Representations were received that every arrangement was made to settle the Oberlln claim except the signature of Mrs. Chad wick. This was to be forthcoming the next day and the directors went home satisfied. President Beckwith stayed over but was again disappointed. President Beckwith was never able to get a look at the $6,000,000 securities but his visits to the Wade bank In Cleveland to see Cashier Reynolds, custodian of the collateral, assured hfm somewhat. President Beckwith says he had sev eral Interviews with Dr. Chadwick who aasured him that his wife waa able to meet her obligations. One tragic in cident related by Beckwith In the written confession concerns a visit to President Beckwith, Cashier Spear and Judge Albaugh to the Cleveland home of Mrs. Chadwick. The two bankers pleaded for money. Mrs. Chadwick made more promlaes. Mr. Beckwith was aroused to anger, and when he saw the hopiessness of It all. he threatened to commit suicide. Ho drew a revolver. Mrs. Chadwick cried that "AH would be lost" if the banker car- 51 ra.

The Wade Park Banking Company of Cleveland wns used sim ply ns a depository for the securities, according to the tale that the Cleve land woman mnde the bankers believe. The estate was said by Mrs. Chadwick to be in the hands of three trustees, all New York men. The name of one of them was given as William Bald win. Mrs. Chadwick said she could not get hold of the money except through Baldwin, whom the banker now' believes to be a mythical person. Baldwin attended to all the business of handling the Interest from the bonds and turned U over to Mrs. Chad wick ns it became due. The hankers were told thnt the yenrly Income was $750,000. Repeated efforts were made on the part of Beckwith to get Into communication w’th Baldwin, but they were always unsuccessful. An excuse wns si ways ready when Inquiry earning Baldwin was pressed. The Oberlln bank was -to .pe made the trustee of the estate as noon contract with the then alleged truatees was ended, which was sn’d to be July 1, 1903. When July 1 of Inst year came around matters were said to he In such shape os to make It necessary for the estate to remain In the same hands for some little time longer. With the end of their trouble* in sight nnd a golden harvest within grasp, as the Oberlln hankers believed, they were put off to commence upon a period of torturing anticipation which ended with the closing of the doors of the Institution and the at rest of both the president and cashier.- Carnegie is 8ilent.
