Since the ares. Of Simpson at this
city, we are convinced that the above Is an
identically similar swiudle to the one in
which he operated. By reference to the
note it will be seen that by cutting Off the
upper portion # the contract, a sim.
pie note remains, calculated to deceive the
best Of business men. The object Of having
the lines tally so exactly, was to prevent
having the cutting Off Of tho upper portion
betrayed-to have the same sized margin at
the top as at the bottom. The lines printed
on the back Of the note are so placed as to
come directly at the center Of the note,
dttrhe upper portion has JceH cl,ppcd II.

the whole thing a swindle. We are not in
