Clevelaud, O., Deo. 7? The indict
meet against Dr. Leroy Chad wick was
do led io common pleas court yesterday.
F. B. Gott, assistant cjuaty prose
cutor, diacussed the case Friday with
Id Reynolds, and yesterday asked
that the indictment be nolled. Judge
Estep acquiesced.
At the same time three indictments
againat Mrs. Caasie Chad wick were
declared abated by death.
The indictment against Dr. Chad
wick charged him with complicity in
uttering the alleged forged note for
15,000,00) on which was signed the
name of Andrew Carnegie and which
was the basis of Mrs. Chadwick's op
erations. It was asserted tbnt Dr.
Cbadwick was in the room at the time
the alleged forged note was given into
the haoda of Mr. Reynolds as trustee.
Mr. Reynolds, however, told Mr. Gott
that Dr. Chadwick was reading at the
time Mrs. Chad wick gave up the alleg- '
' ed note. He further said tha the paper
j was passed to him secretly, aod in an
'envelope; that M<s. Chadwick let It be
understood that she wished the trans
action to be made privately.
I In answer to the statement that Dr.
Chadxick should have susjfcced his
wife in other financial matters because
of the unusual amount of money she
had at her disposal, Mr. Gott said that
numberless other men of greater per
spicacity, perhaps than the doctor, !
were duped by Mrs ChMlwick.
The matter of canceling the indict
ment against Dr. Chadwick w*s first
I suggested last summer oy Jay P. Paw ?
I ley, Mrs. Chadwick's attorney. Mrs,
Chadwick assured Mr. Dawley that D.\
Chadwick was innocent^ and made it
her dying request that the stigma
against her husband's name be remov
ed. Dr. Cdadwick is at present living
with his brother in Florida, trying to
build up a practice for the support of
himself and his daughter.

Fairmont, Va. Dec. 7 ? One hundred and ten bodies
%
had been recovered from the upper levels of the Monogran
Moon coal mines at noon today. It is now known that
Black damp and not White damp was the cause of the ex
plosion. As far as the searchers have been able to pene
trate the mine it is seen that the wreck in all parts has been
made complete and the probabilities of getting out even as
many men alive as was*, first expected, grows less.
Relief parties have been carrying on the work of
attempting to reach the men who are cut off from the closer
sections of the main -entrance, but have made practically no
progress, owing to the great amount of cave- in that exists
and the rapidity with which the rescuing parties are over
come by foul air. The dead will not fall below five hun
