The Associated Press dispatches say
Truth yesterday reiterated it's claims of
the commences of the Morey letter,
and presents large number of state
lments in proof thereof. The proof pre-
scented is divided into four heads: First,
Identification of Garfeld's handwriting
in the Chinese letter by comparison
with undisputed specimens of his hand
writing and signature, and the tesui-
mony of experts establishing their
identity; second, that IL. l.. Morey, to
whom the letter is addre ssed, was a
real person in correspondence with Gar
field; third, that the Employers Union
existed at the time of the writing Of
the letter in and about Lynn, Massa-
chusetts; fourth, that the postmark ON
the envelope was genuine, and of the
kind in use at the date upon which the
letter was sent Three well-known
experts, namely, d. n. Carvallo, of No.
East Fourteenth street, New York;
George Simpson, Jr., OF Brooklyn, and
| +. H. Rauck, of Mauch Chunk, Penn,
all testify that the handwriting and sig
nature of the Chinese cheap labor letter
are identical with those of the speci-
mems of Gartield's handwriting submit
ted to them for comparison. The exam
inatlon of these experts was made sepa-
rately, no one knowing that the others
were engaged. They all agree substan-
italy in the conclusion that all the
specimens submitted are in one and the
same handwriting Of both the Chinese
letter and the letter of disclaimer pub
lished in the Herald of yesterday. In
addition to the testimony OF Hewitt
Randall and Meade, heretofore referred
to, the evidence of the experts is cor
roborated by the statement and affi-
davit OF, Hon. John Fox, ex.member of
Congress, who served with Garfield in
the Fortieth and Forty first Congress,
and who has III his possession signatures
of Garfield given to him by Garfield
himself, and who swears that the orig
inal Chinese letter is in the same hand
writing as Garfield s signature in letters
in his possession. Expert Rauch testi-
fies that the construction of such a let
ter as the Chinese letter in so close imi-
tation of Garfiela's handwriting would
be impossible, unless the forger had be-
! fore him just such letter in Garfield 5
handwriting, otherwise, he says, no
one could construct such an imitation
with so many characteristic resem-
blances.
1t also presents testimony to show
that Morey did exist, that the stamp
was not forged, etc.
