| NOT AN EXCONVICT, OAYS MARS, CHADWICK ‘Wife of Cleveland Physician De- nounces the Story that She Is Really Lydia Devere, Who Was Convicted) and Sent to Prison. She Has Been Sued for $267,000 by Persons from Whom She Borrowed) Money — Bank Which Held Her Notes Closes Its Doors, Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, wife of Dr. Leroy S$, Chadwick, a distin-, guished physician of Cleveland, O., against whom the charge has been openly made that she is the same woman who, as Mme. Lydia Devere, swindled dozens of men through the operation of clairvoyant and fortune: | telling rooms in Toledo, and who wound up a long criminal career in 1890, by going to the Columbus Penitentiary for a term of nine and a half | years, has left the Holland House, where she has been a guest for several | days, leaving behind her an indignant denial of the charge. Coincident with her departure comes the news from Oberlin, O., | that the Citizens’ National Bank of that place has closed its doors and hat an examination of its books shows that it carried notes of Mrs, Chad-_ wick for a considerable amount. There ‘ure suits against Mrs, Chadwick for $267,000, * MAKES WRITTEN DENIAL, Since the first publication of the charge against Mrs, Chadwick, she has ‘taken occasion to deny its truth several times. To the newspapers of Cleveland, which are interested in the matter because of the prominence! of Dr. Chadwick, she has wired (ouials from this city, To The Evening ‘World she made this written statement before leaving the Holland House: “Ht tn all a viclous falsehood, and « great wrong has been done ‘ me and other Innoce When she left the Holland House Mrs. Chadwick entrusted to the clerks a letter for her seventeen-year-old son, Emi! H, Chadwick, who is a student at a boarding school in New Jers The boy called for this let- ter. He laughed to scorn the charges against his mother, At the Holland House {t was understood that Mra, Chadwick had gone to the Savoy; but at that hotel it was denied that she was there. Mrs. Chadwick's friends say she ig still in the city, but does not want her exact whereabouts known because of the publicity that has attached to her name during the past few days, CHARGE THAT SHE IS AN EX-CONVIC?, It was the filing of papers In four sults against Mrs. Chadwick wojch Drought oit the charge that she is the notorious Mme. Devere. Before that no word of suspicion had been directed to her, As the wife of a dis- tinguished citizen of Ohio, a man of great wealth and social prominence, no intimation was ever made that she was other than she claimed to be. The social world of Cleveland, which received her eagerly, knew simply this, that as Mrs, C. L. Hoover she had lived quietly on the west elde of the city, and taat on Avs. 26, 1897, she married Dr. Chadwick at Windeor, Ont. After the wedding she took possession of the magnificent Chadwick mansion at Euclid avenue and Genessee street, Cleveland, and there entertained lavishly, as a woman of her station would be expected to, The commencement of the four suits against Mrs, Chadwick attracted attention first because of the large amount of money involved. However, Mrs. Chadwick's position was one that made It not impossible for her to deal in great sums, aud the little stir the sults occasioned soon quieted down, WHAT CREDITORS CLAIM. | ‘These suits, the plaintiffs, and the amounts claimed are as follows: | Herbert D, Newton... + HD0,HV0.00 | Haclid Ay ¢ Savings and Trust Com, Your 88,231.92 Amertonn hange Natfonal Ban k of Cleveland 28,808.25 savings Deposit Bank of Blyring sesreeeee convenes + 10,000.00 It wag tho publication of certain facts, alleged by the plalntiffs in these actions, as to the mode adopted by Mrs. Chadwick in securtng the money that struck a few people acquainted with the career of Mime, Devere as familiar. These persons began quietly investigating. They got a photograph of Mrs. Chadwick, another of Mme. Devere. They say the resemblance is perfect. They knw the antecedents of Mme, Devere; they tried to find out those of Mra, Chadwick, but couldn't get past the period when she was known as Mrs. Hoover, So they went back on the trail of Mme. Devere to the time when, as Lydia Bigley, she shocked the folks of her home town of Woodstock, Ontarlo, by appearing as the defendant in a er{minal action for forgery, They clalin that from a Mrs, Campbell, a cister of Mme. Devere, they obtained a statement that Mrv. Chadwick was her sister, This hos since been denied by Mrs, Campbell. Fortified with these details, the investigators came out with a charge that Mrs, Chadwick ard Mme. Devere were one and the same person, ani | they have persivtently repeated the charge since. No other proof has been | brought forward, but tle charge hus naturally created a sensation in Cleve- land, where Dr. Chadwick !s well kuown, and the lawyers ¢or the various} persons suing Mrs. Chadwick have declared that they will foree Mrs, Chad- wick to defend herself from (hese agpersions on her charecter when their cages come io trial. DR, CHADWICK IS ABROAD. When the charge was first made against Mrs. Chadwidk she was in her home at Cleveland. Dr. Chadwick {s at present abroad with a daughter by a former marriage. Mrs. Chadwick denied the story that she was Mme. Devere, but dec?ined to go into her past life at all. The sults against her, she declared, she would defend in court at the proper time. Having eaid this much, Mrs, Chadwick packed up and came to this elty, where she engaged a suite of rooms at the Holland House by the year. Since her arrival here she has seen no one but har attorneys, ber denials having all been made in writing or through her representat! The charge against Mrs. Chadwick has brought the history of Mme, TDevere into prominence agaia, Tiis woman was born Elizabeth Bigley, fn Woodstock, Ontario, forty-seven years ago. Her father was Daniel Rig- Jey, a plain, honest, hardworking man. He is now dead. Her mother, Mrs. Mary Ann Bigley, !s still alive and Is at present living wih another daugh- ser. Mrs. Daniel L, Pine, in Glenville, a auburb of Cleveland. There isa zon, aniel Bigley, who also lives in Glenville, and another daughter, a Mrs. Compbdell, who lives at Woodstock STORY OF MUP. DEVERR, Elizabeth Bigley, afterward known to fame as Moie. Devere, was a lively, vivacious, pretty girl. At the age of twenty-three years she was) arrested on a charre of forgery. The defense put in for her at the time was that she was insane. The jury found that she committed the offense charged, wut that as she was insane she was not accountable for her actions, and it therefore declared her not guilty. Elizabeth Bigley then left Woodstock and came to the United States, She bobbed up from time to time in questionable trangictions under vari- ous names.

The collapse of Mme, Devere came in 1890, when she was arrested for forgery. Through a reputable men, who appeared to be entirely under her influence, she succeeded in uttering forged paper for a large amount She was tried, found guilty and sentenced to the penitntlary at Columbus for nine and a half years, She stayed in prison until 1893, when she was released on parole by Gov. McKinley, Her reports to the, parole officer after this showed that she lived for a time at her old home in Woodstock, again that she was in Windsor, Ontario, and again that she was in Cleveland, Eventually theese reports of her whereabouts became unnecessary and from that time Mme, Devore dropped out of sight. Nothing has been heard) of her since, and a search for her has revealed nothing. It is because of ibls—because Mine, Devere was known once as Mrs. Hoover, the name un- der which Mra, Chadwick married Dr. Chadwick—and because of the strik- ing resemblance in the pictures of the two women that it is openly charged HOW MRS. CHADWICK GOT LOANS, The story of Mrs. Chadwick's transaction with Mr. Newton, of Brook- line, was told to-day by P. W.
