no less than seven detectives are ransacking tho

MADE along with others by Aessrs Talmadge 90.
The attorney for The latter nrm, MI John Todnunter
said that he had sozcd besides the Offices, some of the
dcuts due TO Gilman. The TACT Of The discovery OF the
forgercs having been made through his clients gave
him the opportunity Of making the seizures IN ad-
vance OF others. He had some doubt whether,
