Elizabeth Blgley. now Mrs. Chadwlck, was born near London, Canada, about, 42 years ago. Her girlhood girl-hood day were spent at Eastwood and JYoodetock, which was the home of our family. She was not a great reader and as for "having read books on mesmerism and the like, that is ail nonsense. . "When I was married and went to jjv- Cleveland she came to lira with r .-riiat was In 16S1. There was nothing peculiar about her as a girl, save that she was a deep thinker. She always seemed absorbed In thought, and would sit in silence by tbe hour. She seemed to be in a trance and never would pay any attention to ervone. She would come out of these j ' '-j gjt J 12 bswlUand), would never discuss her strange action nor the many scrapes into which she got. . "She never, by word' of act. Indicated that she was possessed of any hypnotic power. At the time In Toledo when she was convicted of forgery under the name of Madame Devere, It Is said that she hypnotized a man named Joseph Lamb, an express agent,' who was arrested ar-rested with her. The paper were full of It at the time and all the talk was hypnotism. The hypnotism talk, I repeat, re-peat, was nonsense. "It seem to me that my Btster had a mania for doing Just such things that have now Involved her. In this trouble. She didn't need the money, a she had plenty of It. In speech she talks slowly and lisp slightly. She is quite deaf. She was always extravagant.

Mrs. Chadwlck was Interviewed yesterday as she lay on a couch in the office of United States Marshal Henkel, waiting for her counsel to obtain bondsmen for her. . She and her nurse and son were In the office with a deputy marshal. The nurse and boy Sat beside the weeping woman and were trying to comfort her. Discussing th3 statement made by Mrs. York of San Francisco. Mrs. Chadwlck Bald: "I have not read all of it, but I will leave It to public opinion and to refined and educated persons what conclusion con-clusion they might draw when ene sister sis-ter makes a statement like that against another sister. But she is neither my slater nor my half-sister, nor my sister-in-law. We were reared together. "I have made absolutely no statement about this Madame Devere business from beginning to end. Dut- of Justice to my little boy I would not do it at the present time. I don't think that any responsible person would pay any attention to a statement made by Mrs. York. If I had a sister or brother who was In trouble, no matter what their past might have been, if I could do him or her any good, certainly I would shield him or her from barm. "Everything will work Its way out all right for me, and I don't want to say anything against Mrm. York. I wish you to say that Madame Devere's where, abouts and everything else in connection with this case will be shown in a very short time. "I don't think the public quite understands under-stands the situation. Mr. Newton brought this lawsuit against me on Monday. On Friday they had a rim on the Wade Park bank. Of course, that frightened the peo- rle, because of the enormous amount of he lawsuit, $210,000. That was a very large amount In a city of only 400,000 Inhabitants. That amount of money attracted attention. The depositors of the Wade Park bank became alarmed that the bank was going to be ruined, when In reality I only owed the bank 617,000, and it was one of the best and most conservative banks In Cleveland. . "Then, following that, one of Mr. Newton's New-ton's notes was In the Oberiin National bank. On Saturday evening the Oberiin bank opened to receive deposits, according accord-ing to its custom, from to 6 o'clock. The depositors in that bank read the sensational story that I owed the Oberiin bank. They rushed Into the bank on Saturday Sat-urday night and, instead of, making deposits, de-posits, began to draw their money out. It was a small country bank and only had on hand $11,000 or 612,000 in cash. The other money belonging to the bank was in the Cleveland bank, and, it being Saturday night, that bank was closed. "The depositors drew heavily that night. Seme ono came in with a check; I think It was for 62S00 or 63800. and the bank did not have money enough to pay. Therefore, There-fore, the bank had to close. The offloers could not open it again then, and notified noti-fied the bank examiner. They said they could not demand the loan against me because I was down here in New York. Tbe story had gene out that the bank had failed and it was too late then for anything to be done. Mr. Miller of Canton, Can-ton, the bank examiner, had to be sent for. He got to Oberiin on Sunday and thev went into conference Sunday evening. eve-ning. Mr. Miller found the bank was In such condition that it bad to be closed, because the depositors had become so excited about the reports they all drew out and nothing would quiet them. "If It had only happened differently, the bank would not have had to fall, because the obligation would have been ral-l. I would not like to live a minute If I did not think I could pay these poor people back. I asked Emil, my son, if anything should happen to me. If he would do anything to see that tbe obligations obli-gations were paid. "Whatever is said about these Carnetfe notes must be said by my attorney, Mr. Carpenter."
