° lhe stand In a murder trial. But
°“, re is another story to the work of
‘ e professor of pothooks. From start
finish It is an interesting chapter of
h unian ingenuity and cunning, of
and comedy, involving as it
do es many instances of strange cases
-out which the public never hears.
une of the most noted New York
handwriting experts, who will again be
tound in the court room when the Mo-
Uneaux ease comes up for retrial, talk
ei of his peculiar profession In his
office on the seven teeth floor of a Park
Ko w skyscraper. He was hard at work
over a couple of letters sent for ex
amination by a secret society in one of
the suburbs over in New Jersey.
A flick Trick.
"That's one of the slickest tricks I
ever came across,” said the expert,
flecking a speck of dust from a lens of
a microscope and producing' a case
„jth vials of acids for a test to ascer
tain if the kinds of inks used in the
letters were identical.
•Here's a fellow with enough strat
tgy in him to make a general. He
jnds it necessary to prevent a pair of
enemies from attending a certain meet
ing on a certain evening, and he gets
rid of them so easily that he might as
weil have played the same trick on a
whole regiment of hostiles.
"The case was this: A fellow, call
him Thompson, wanted to get back in
to a secret society from which he had
been dropped for non-payment of dues.
He knew that five blackballs were
awaiting him, four of which were
enough to exclude him. It was ‘up to
him.’ therefore, to prevent at least
two of the blackballed from attend
ing the meeting at which his admis
lion would be decided upon.
If you had twenty guesses you
could not tell how cleverly he man
aged the scheme. In a disguised hand
he wrote a letter to one of the known
blackballed, a young mechanical en
gineer named, say, Smith. The writer
laid that he had heard Smith was a
jromising young engineer and a fel
low-member of the order, and that un
der the circumstances a certain job
which the writer had to give out
would be offered to Smith rather than
to a rank outsider. Smith was to call
the next night at 9 o'clock to meet his
new friend at a Broadway hotel.
"It was a beautiful letter —one that
tickled Smith from the roots of his
hair to the soles of his feet. He knew,
of course, that there was the black
balling, which he would like to attend
to personally, but even without him,
he argued, there was enough to ex
clude Thompson, and, anyway—busi
ness before pleasure.
A Second Enemy Falla.
"But. even with Smith out of the
way, there was another blackballer to
be gotten rid of. Jones, let us call him,
a contractor, was selected. Jones re
ceived a letter much like Smith’s, on
ly Jones was to get a half dozen new
houses to build from the loyal fellow
member who lick'd up In Y , and
who asked Jones to call on him next
night at 9 o'clock at 222 Lewis street.
Jones also received a lot of taffy in
the way of making him think that his
fame and reputation had gone abroad.
He thought, of course, of the fun he
would miss by not blackballing
Thompson, but decided that Smith
would be there, and so would three
others, pledged to pepper him, and
that Thompson had no chance of get
ting into the organization.
"That night, to make matters worse,
It rained—well, about as hard as It
could rain.
"Jones found his town all right, but
no Lewis street, and no one named
Jeptha Brown lived there. Therefore
he tramped through mud and rain for
two hours, visititig streets of similar
names and exhausting his vocabulary
on the cussedness of hard luck.
"Not much better off. Smith sat In
the hotel corridor watching the rain
spatter on the pavement of Broadway
and swearing softly to himself. Not
until 11 o'clock did' he give up hope. At
that hour he quit and decided on the
way home to stop at the house of Jones
to see how the blackballing had come
off. Jones was not in. But Mrs. Jones
was. and she told Smith of the per
fectly lovely letter her husband had re
ceived from a very kind fellow-member
of the order away up In Y . Then a
light dawned on Smith, for he realized
that Thompson must have sailed
straight into membership.
"I think I got one of those perfect
ly lovely letters myself,’ he said, and
with that in came Jones, fresh from
the wilds of Y . Then there were
e xrla nations.
Meanwhile only three blackballs had
been registered against Thompson, and
he was declared duly elected. And now
2 16 ? equel. All five wanted to expel
ihompson when they heard the stories
™ Smith and Jones, but Thompson de
wed having written the letters, and
-hid he was a party to no conspiracy.

a public typewriter. If the machine
on which the letter had been written
could be located it would be easy to
trace the operator, and ihe culprit
could then be legally ;x>nnected with
the letter.
“There was no alternative except to
search through the public typewriter
offices until the particular machine
was found. Money was no object in
the case. But even at that the search
among the thousands of offices
throughout the city was not as serious
as might at first be supposed. To be
gin with, the habits of the man were
well known, and also in what section
of the town he would be most likely to
have a letter of this kind written. With
these suspected places recorded, men
were sent out, and on each typewriter
in the district a letter was written and
brought to me to examine iri order to
find whether any of the peculiarities in
the type of the original letter could be
duplicated.
"In the end the machine was found,
the operator who took the dictation lov
cated, and both parties decided to call
the affair a draw battle and not to
take things into the courts.
“An extraordinary case of expert
work camp to me one day through a
New York savings bank. They had an
account which had been on their books
for fifty years—originally an ordinary
fifty-dollar deposit, but one which, in
the course of the elapsed time, had
footed up by compound interest to a
little fortune. Like all banks with ac
counts of this kind, this particular
bank was very anxious to get rid of the
money, but did not know where to find
the owner or his heirs.
Finally, one Amos Williams was lo
cated In Washington. D. C. The man
was then 75 years old and in a strait-,
ened circumstances. But he was
honest enough to admit that he knew
nothing of ever having made a deposit
at the bank. But fifty years ago, he
said, he went to New York on a spree.
He had the spree all right, and when
he awoke he was out all the money.
Now whether he deposited the money
while intoxicated he could not say.
Then someone decided to give the
matter to handwriting experts.
"The bank had the original signature
of the depositor of fifty years ago. and
it was decided to compare it with the
signature of old Amos Williams. The
bank signature was not altogether
steady, and It looked as If it might
have been made by a man at least
partly under the influence of liquor,
but when the tffo signatures were
compared all doubt was dispelled.
Throughout all those years the man
had preserved In a remarkable degree
all the little characteristics of his
handwriting while young. Asa rule
this Is not the case, a man’s age and
habits influencing the characteristics
and the litlte idiosyncrasies of his ear
lier handwriting. Yet the two signa
tures agreed in this case. That fifty
years was, I think, the longest span I
have even been asked to bridge over
in the course of my career.
Tried to Break n Rival.
“In Norfolk. Va., we had a queer
case not very long ago. There were
two wholesale clothing merchants In
that city, Eckstein and Goldschmitt,
and between them they sold to all the
retail clothing establishments in the
vicinity. In an evil moment it oc
curred to Goldschmitt that he could
get all of the trade of his rival if he
could only manage to shut off the
sources that shipped the goods to the
merchant. Accordingly he sent several
scores of letters in various handwrit
ings and signed with various names of
manufacturers, warning them that
Eckstein was about to fail. That pre
vented Eckstein from replenshing his
stock, and Goldschmitt for a while
was in high glee.
Before long, of course, Eckstein
found out the trick, and all the let
ters were collected and given into the
hands of experts to decide whether
they had been written by one man, and
whether they corresponded to the hand
of the suspect Goldschmitt. In time
the case was taken to court, and a
damage verdict of $2,500 was awarded
to Eckstein.
“Among the extraordinary cases that
come to us are many professional men
who try to beat the civil service ex
aminations or the various boards of
public examiners. Doctors and den
tists, for example, frequently give us
v.ork. An applicant for a degree or
a license may be perfectly fit from his
standpoint of professional knowledge,
but he may realize that he could not
pass the regents’ examination. His
knowledge of medicine or ot teeth
may be all that is required, but it Is
so long since he has studied history or
geography or grammer that he knows
he’d ’flunk’ if he tried to pass. There
fore, he gets someone else to take
the examination for him. and unless it
is noticed that there Is a discrepancy
In the handwriting of the two men
who have taken the test a man is
apt to slip through by that means. We
are frequently asked to decide as to
the handwriting in examination papers
of this kind."

tlvity from Mount Kilauea. In Ha
waii, where Mount Kilauea has not
been disturbed for two years, the erup
tion is of slight consequence. But It
is a great sight to see the great lake of
lava boil over the_sides of the crater
and push its way clown into the bowl
like calley which has been formed by
eruptions more violent In the ages past.
"The sight is such an unusual one
that It causes a great influx of visitors
each year, and that naturally is a good
thing for the Island financially. That’s
why we like the volcano to be active.
“Kilauea's crater is the largest in the
world. People used to go and sit by
its edge to watch for an overflow of
the lava. The guides could tell almost
to the minute when thesd overflows
would occur.
"In 1882 there threatened a great
eruption and the natives were afraid
that the town of Hilo would be Injur
ed. The Princess Ruth of the royal
family of Kamehameha, went to the
mountain down which the lava had be
gun to run. With her she carried sev
eral chickens and one or two other an
imals. Standing by the edge of the
crater she threw up her head —she was
one of those imperial looking women,
and weighed about 400 pounds. She
called out, addressing the Hawaiian
god:
“ 'Pelee, you promised never to hurt
Hilo; now I come to remind you of
your promise.’
“With this she threw the chickens
into the lava. The next day the dis
turbance somewhat subsided and the
natives attributed to the Princess
credit of it.”

So says the prophet, and he announces
it in a way to convince one that he ac
