National Bank Chicago, H.. which has been dscov
cred by the officers acting under my direction the
general appearance OF the note is such TO deceive
although q close examination betrays many essential
points Of difference, as follows:
Under the letter c. in the word "Chicago" the face
of the note the shade line into the top of the
first letter In the word "Pay" which Is directly under
IT, while IN the genuine distinct space nteryenes In
the date Of the year 1885," under thefght hand end
OF the words Give Dollars" 10 the body OF the note.
the numbers and closely together In the coun-
tereit there much wider space. The panels in the
border surrounding the face OF the genuine note have
numerous marks OF the drapey In the counterfeit the
marks are fewer and less distinct
On the reverse Of the note the most distinctive point
Of difference between the counterfeit and the genuine
appears 10 the lathework nclosng the figure "5" at
the lower right and left hand OF the note, the
eccentric circles being nearly round and distinct In
the counterfeit and much eccentric and less clear
In the genuine The kneeng figures in the left hand OF
the ygnette the back OF the note are much less dis
tinct than In the genuine, and tue WORK generally ID
The paper upon which the note is printed inferior
in quality to that used by the Government, being much
coarser but tho entire bill Is liable TO deceive even an
expert at the first glance
