THAT FORGED LETTER.
New York, October 22d.-The real pnr-
pose OF the charge that Garfield wrote the
letter TO Morey on the Chinese question
seems to be shown by the fact that 100. 600
copies of what purports to be fac-simile of
the letter are announced to have been sent
to California alone. Since Garfield denounced
the forgery, the best known business men of
Lynn, Mass, have publicly testified that no
such man as h1orey-to whom it was ad
dressed-had ever lived or died there, as was
asserted, and the Employers Union, of which
he was the reputed President, ever had an
existence in that city.
NEW YORK, October 22d.-Havlng made !
careful comparison between dozen auto
graph letters from Garfield and the pub |
lished facsimile of the purported letter to
Morey, | have no hesitation in saying that |
any honest expert will echo Gar6eld's charac-
terization of it as "a stupid forgery" In |
general appearance and in many details they |
are utterly dissimilar. SIMoNToN.
FURTHER EXPOSURE OF THE BOGUS LETTER
CONSPIRACY.
New YORK, October 22d.-Tbe following !
statement was issued to night frem the head
quarters OF the Republican National Com
mittee:
HEApeuARrBRs, October o. 1880
Mr.. II. M, Munsell, one OF the New York State
Agents of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company, accompanied by personal friend to-day
called upon several Of the most prominent bankers |
of New York with Gartelds so-called Chinese letter.
a FAC simie OF which was published in the Truth |
this morning, and exhibited it in connection with
genuine autograph letter of General Garfield's |
handwriting 1t was examined under powerful |
magnfyng glass, and showed not only that the let
tiers differently formed, but that the angle of
the inclination to the line was different In the |
genuine letter Mr. Garfeld's writing is full free
clear and round The forged letter is cramped an.
gular and trernuous. The peculiar personal char
acteristics of Truths letter are entirely different |
from the genuine. 1t is what experts cali pasted
painted signature. One expert said the signature |
to Truths letter is like the genuine letter
than chalk is like eheese; that any teller |
who would pay q cheek upon such signature |
Was net fit for his post In two instances an opiu-
ion was declined, but in every other case the ex
perts, whether President Cashier or Teller without
respect TO party politics, pronounced Truths photo
hthoeraph, when compared with the original letter
from Garfield in possession Of Mr.. Munse TO be |
forgery, ard very poor at thlt The bankers I
interviewed embrace the most prominent inanciers |
in New York, who daily paw out millions on the |
knowledge of signatures.
