Remarkable FOrgery.-.ReaI Es.
tate not always Real SecurEIv

tate not always Real Security.
A few days since homespun. farmer
looking man, who gave his name as James
Hudson appeared in Parma, in this Coun-
ty. He represented himself as from
Dutchess County, New York. where he
had recently sold his farm, and claimed
to be in search of new location in this
section OF the country. Hudson made the
acquaintance of Mr.. Lewis Warner. ex-
amlned his farm, which contained I2s
acres, and agreed to purchase it for S.
OOO. He procured from Mr.. Warner
written agreement to this effect, singed
by him; and also the deed which gave
him (Warner) title, as he said, for the
purpose of taking it to Cleveland and ex-
amining the title. Hudson then went to
MIR. Cogswell, Justice of the Peace in Par.
ma, and under pretence of wishing to
write him on business, obtained his ad-
dress, In his own handwriting.
Thus having in his possession Warmers
deed, and the signatures of Warmers and
Cogswell, Hudson came to Cleveland, and
drew up deed conveying the land to him
sell, to which he forged the signature of
Warner as donor, and of Cogswell as GER
tifying justice, adding, for forms sake,
those of two witnesses.
The date of the deed was Nav 9, and
the same day it was filed in the Recor-
der's Office for record.
With this apparently indisputable evi-
dence of title to the land, Hudson ap-
piled to Thomas Bolton, ESQ.,, of this city,
for loan of 81, 500, offering mortgage
security upon the farm. Mr.. Bolton con
sented to loan him the amount for four
years, at 10 per cent. annual interest,
and mortgage was drawn up, which
Hudson signed and took with him to Par
ma to procure the signature of his wife.
On Tuesday he presented the mortgage,
properly signed and acknowled ged-the
signatures of his wife, the justice and one
witnesses, forgeries, of course-and re-
ceived the 81 500 from Mr.. Bolton.
Yesterday, 18th, Mr.. Warner came to
the city, and inquired for Hudson, saying
he had agreed TO sell him his farm, and
he thought it time the papers were execu-
ted. Meeting with Mr.. Bolton, the facts
stated above were ascertained, and Mr..
Warner pronounced the deed forgery.
So shrewed and perfectly executed a
piece of rascality has not recently occurred
in this vicinity; and the forger having a.
week the start of law, officers and light
ming, it is but barely possible that he will
be overtaken by either of them,-Czere-
