To the Public.
The Tribune Of the 18th inst, under the heading
Of Bank LocLs,' contains brief reference TO my
locks and publishes in connection certain certificates
under the head Lock Picking Ertroordiaary.'
wish ROW to say that the Lock there mentioned. as a
Lack diferentIy constructed from any hare sold
10 Banh$; that the kind I have sold and warranted
has nerer 6eem picked that the certificate of Mr..
David Laavitt, published in the same, does not state
the facts truly, but conveys wrong impressions, and
leaves out important facts which fairness would
require. In the year6ll, at the request of Mr.. Da
yid Lcayitt, put upon the vault door of the Amer-
can Exchange Bank, no. lG Wall-street in place OF
one OF Andrews Combination Locks, which had
previously picked while on the same door, OF my
Locks. for tic purpose of being opened or tested by
Dr. Andrews or the American Bank Lock Company.
Dr. Andrews did not himself make the attempt, but
sent his key-maker, Mr. Durham, for that purpose.
After three weeks effort different intervals, he en-
trey failed topick it, ofwhch attempt and failure Mr..
Leavitt would not give me certificate, although he
seems prompt 10 do so to others. To show the I'M
fairness Of Mr. Leayitts certificates these facts
submitted. When he removed from No. Is Wall-st.
70 the building now occupied by the American Ex-
change Bank, without consulting me or obtaining
nv consent, he allowed NIessrs. Wadsworth q
Smith or the American Bank Lock Company to take
my Lock from the door Of the vault examine the in
terror, and thus give them opportunity 10 make
key. as am informed, and of which have evidence
also from the appearance of the Lock after came
into my hands, The screw-holes being trimmed out
three times the size they were when put the Lock
on the vault-door before mentioned: that the said
Lock was placed on chest and taken 10 Amboy by
Messrs. Wadsworth & Smith, and there by them or
under their direction, submitted to such experiments
they chose, and whether opened fairly or foully
have no means of knowing. After the ohestwas re-
turned saw Mr.. Leayitt to whom applied for the
Lock as my property, who showed me certificate
which Messrs. Wadsworth & Smith requested him
10 sign and which he said he had refused, for the
son that, 10 use his own language, "there was so
much hocns-pocas abont the opening my Lock at
Amboy that he would not sign it, which certif-
cate was drawn in almost the same language and
about as equvocal as the one published
The certificate of 8 A. Halsey (1vho. at the date
of it. was President of the American Bank Lock
Company relates 10 a cheap store-door Lock- and
not to my Bank Locks.
As TO the certificate of Robinson & Co. it relates
10 Padocks, and which they say they bought oi my
authorized agents; whereas | never had an agent
until within month, and never myselfsold them a
Lock. As TO that of VIM 5. Lothrop, have only to
say that n. Allen never my agent, that he, to my
knowledge sold Locks as mine to Bank in hlassa-
chusets never made by me, and was for that arrest
ed and compelled to refund the money paid him for
such Locks-lhat NIessrs Wadsworth & Smith
never called on me to refund, nor ever returned the
Locks, but the whole matter was designed and used
for the purpose Of producing prejudice against me
and my Locks.
Nv Padlocks have never been sold by me my
authority alone giving entire security 10 Banks,
but as additional guards-that in one instance
Bank IN Massachusetts saved by one OF them,
by preventing access to the inner Lock for the pur-
pose of being blown up by powder-that notwith-
standing the certificates published, do not believe
my Padlocks have many instance been opened tanly,
but under circumstances and influences designed to
10 accomplish some sinister purpose-that they give
universal satisfaction, and never get out of order,
having been sold from Maine TO Louisiana.
With regard TO Bank Locks, such as have sold TO
Banks intend in short time to put one in place
to be fairly tested. giving $500 the reward the
person who shall succeed in picking it, ofwhich due
public notice will be giyen-that to those who
choose TO make the trial, mean TO exhibit the IN
terror Of the Lock, 10 satisfy them that it is the
