Show What Did Sh Do With It? It has been shown beyond doubt that Mrs. Chad j Mick succeeded in getting large sums from many i den of wealth, ller methods were effective, al: though far from being clever. Men who call them-: them-: selves business men should not have been deceived by. the "securities" the woman offered. ' Some were j cot, and refused to loan her money, but she was un- j i dismayed, and kept it up until she found her dupes. But what has become of all the money she obtained? ob-tained? That is a phase of the strange case upon ; ;which no light has been thrown. Neither is it clear jwhat her motive or object was in borrowing so much money. It has not been brought out that she speculated specu-lated or that she was interested in any business ventures. ven-tures. She lived expensively, it is true, but she borrowed bor-rowed far more money than she expended for that purpose. Taken in connection with the fact that she made no effort to provide against the inevitable crash and did not attempt to escape from the country, the disappearance dis-appearance of the borrowed money lends a still 1 stranger aspect to the already strange case. The natural assumption, is that the woman has it secreted somewhere, but she has showed so little ' finesse in many of her methods that it is not a certainty cer-tainty that she has concealed it. She may have been giving it to others. She may have been merely a tool. No one can tell. "When the authorities give us tome light on the ' whereabouts of the borrowed m'oney or show where it has gone we shall begin to understand the affair. ' Ls it is, the Chadwick case is practically as mysteri- . ous as it was ji week ago. |
