CHADWICK IDENTIFIED 'AS MADAME DEVERE BY CLEVELAND BANKERS "I WOMAN S AN EXCONVICT Att.omey Tells of Remarkable Visit. to Andrew Carnegie’s New York Home. Special Dispatch to The Call CLEVELAND, Dec, 1.—Light has been thrown on the sensational Chad- wick case by the assertion of two prominent citizens of. Cleveland that Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick is none other than Mme. Devere, who served a term in the Ohio penitentiary. Dr. H. W. Kitchen, president of the State Banking and Trust Company, and John mith, an-\rnfly and bank director, are rbt men who make positive statements as to Mrs. Chadwick’s identity. Dr. Kitchen declared that he had known the woman since 1380, and that 'she was the same woman who married Dr. Springsteen in the early '80's, whe later was sent to the penitentiary as Mme, Devere, who later lived in Cleve- land as Mrs. Hoover and afterward bacame the wife'of Dr. Leroy Chadwick. _-“I first ' met Mrs. Chadwick in 1889, -sald Dr.. Kitchen.. “She was then Elizabeth Bigi: Soon afterward she mairied Df. Springsteen, whoin I knew intimately. Eleven days later he sued. for divorce. 3 3 “After that I traced her through@ny brother-in-law, who was connected with the United States Express’ Company in 1880 ahd was concerned in the case of Madame Lydia Devere and Joseph Lamb in Toledo. In that case she was sentenced to the penitentiary. Later she came to Cleveland and lived as | Mrs. Hoover, and finally, in 1897, she inarried Dr. Chadwick. I have had busi- ness relations with her, but for three.years I have not spoken to her; though I have always known her as the same woman I met-as. Elizabeth Bigley." Bank Forces Payment. .

He sald: “‘Fout years ago Mrs. Chad\\lck owed the bank in which I am a diréctor '$40,000. It was a risky loan and the bank becameé uneasy. The directors soon learned the, woman’s récord, and ‘we confronted her with her Toledo history. *I.obtained a photograph of her taken in the Columbus peniténtlary,and with- in n\m’t) days Mrs. Chadwick did not owe us a cent I sheuld have- exposed her then, and- all that-has'occurred since- would have béen averted.” In view of the fact that Mrs. Chadwick -has -denied ever having had any dealings with-Andrew Cdrnegie, a.Cleveland ‘ldwyer who forbids the use of his.name has given the probable origin -of the Carnegie episode. < “Some time ago,” said this- attorney, ‘Mrx .

Andrew Carnegie had in- dorsed a note for $500,000 given by- Mrs. Cassie L: Chadwick to an Ohio ‘bank as sécurity for.a loan were revlved this afternoon as the .result of a’visit paid | firm of Inwyers orie of whom is Cune- gie’s: counsel. i Mrd, Chadwick and her 17- -year-old.| son, Emil, left the Holland House at and weve _driven to the Central Trust Company building, 17-Wall street. While the car- riage .waited outside Mrs. Chadwick:and her sop entered the building and” were taken- on an elevator to the sixth floor. They were admitted to the private of- lawyers, who have a large suite -Joline is Mr. derst, of offices on’ that floor. ‘The .doorman went inside for a moment and-on his return said Joline had nothing to say. The visitor insisted on seeing Joline, and finally he was shown into a 'little room, where the lawyer was found seated at a desk, ap- | parently busy writing. The door of the room was oven and another room- across the passageway could be seen. In this room were Mrs. Chadwick, two other women and two men. With the don’t know her and I have nothing to say,” was his reply. .- George ‘Ryall, local counsel for -Her- bert D. Newton, to-night made a state- ment that the settlement agreed -upbn with Mr# Chadwick was for the pay-. ment in cach of Newton's entire-clahi. The payment, he saild, was to be.made either this week or early next week. ° “No. securities have been given.for | this payment,” he -ddea “but we are sure it will be made. In Toference to a statement . made this afternoon by Edmund Powers, counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, that of the -amount claimed by Newton 65,000 rep- resenied notes given for bonuses, Ry- 21l said: “Mr.. Pqwers-is mistaken in his fig- ures. The notes he refers to do not represent bonuses. . The settlement is upon our full claim of $190.800.” - Ryall further said that Newton was in conference with his own attorneys to-day., but that no onme representing him held any conference With . Mrs. Chadwick or her attorneys. Newton and Carver returned to Boston this aft- érnoon. That all thé legitimate claims against Mrs. Chadwick will be met is the state- ment made by her attorneys, but at the same time they decline to say any- thing as to the scurce from which the necessary funds wili be obtained. They would not discuss the value of the se- curities said to be in the possession of Ira Reynolds, treasurer of the Wade exception of one woman all were seated around -a table, apparently in consul- ‘tation.
