Asked as to the other transaction sub-seo;uent sub-seo;uent to 1&3, Mr. Reynolds said There Is one. It Is a UtUe banking secret, se-cret, but I am willing to tell all. She came to me, I think it was In 1904, and said she had J12,C0 in paper payable at the Prudential Trust company. If I wculd let her have the money she would put up United Stales Steel bonds In the morning as collateral. I consulted my company and with their consent loaned her the money. "The next day she bronght a package which she said contained 1200,000 In United States Steel bonds, and a $250,-000 $250,-000 certificate which I was to hold In trust for her under the same conditions as the previous package. I held these rntl! a month ago, when In the presence of several gentlemen they were opened. It was about the time Newton began his suit. They contained bonds all right, but thev were not steel bonds." When asked what they were Mr. Reynolds Rey-nolds said: "There were five $1000 bonds of the Home Telegraph company of Niagara, N. Y., and tlx certificates of the Buckeye Fish company." . He had read the trust agreement, but had never seen the signature. Mrs. Chadwick had told him the original was in the package he held. He confidently believed everything would be paid, up to a week ago. and had no suspicion of anything any-thing wrong until a few days before Mr. Newton brought his suit Then his attorney, at-torney, Mr. Carver, of Boston, called at the Wade Park bank and said he understood under-stood he held some Steel- securities of Mrs. Chadwlck's and showed him a paper assigning all her right and title In Rf-nolds' Rf-nolds' holdings. He last saw her November' 10. She desired de-sired to go East, aad had no money. He cashed a check on the Lincoln Trust company com-pany of New Tork. It was returned marked "account closed." He took It out of the Wade Park bank, paid it and had It In bis. possession. He brought the Newton debt to her attention, and advised ad-vised her to go East and raise the money and settle the whole affair, and h thought she went East . to see Andrew Carnegie. Mr. "Reynolds came away from New Tork. he aays, because he did not have money enough to stay there two hours. "She has fooled me and many smarter men than me; she has pulled the wool over everybody's eyes." Then, with a faint smile, as though the humor appealed ap-pealed to him despite his troubles, he said: "Once she wrote to me to ask If I needed help because of the run on the bank.- ' 1 ' 1 Still another Incident was detailed by the witness. "When Mrs. Chadwick was in Europe." he said, "she wrote that Dr. Chaawick was rn the hospital seriously 111. the daughter was also 11 U and ahe waa In sore distress. Emll came home to save expenses, and here he was taken with typhoid fevfr. She cabled me that she had no money, and I sent her $15,6uA. "The shocjc of Emll's illness made her seriously 111, and when she arrived here she waa thought to be dying. She then told me where, if anything happened to her, I would find a letter to Mr. Carnegie Car-negie and he would settle all her . indebtedness." in-debtedness." Witness had seen no other notes, but had seen a check which was sent to bis house when he was ill. It was for $40,000 and had Andrew Carnegie's name signed to it, Whether any money was ever procured pro-cured on it, he did not know. As to the value of Mrs. Chadwlck's household fittings, Mr.. Reynolds thought they might be worth about $200,000. He said he took a chattel 'mortgage about two years ago, but had never recorded It The maximuui penalty for the offense charged in the indictment la twenty years upon conviction. |
