MORE ABOUT THE FORGERS OF DIVORCES.
In thel investigation by Distrlct-Attorney Ridg-
way and Deputy County Clerk Barnard, OF Brook
Adams i a la lawyer, of No 234 Broadway, and John
G. Law, clerk in the Supreme Court, in Brook
Ign, it has been found that Adams was
indicted by the Grand Jury In Brooklyn for perjury
in July, 1881, under the name of William Adams.
He was not arrested, as he could not be found.
Adams appeared as witness for the Plalntf IN the
for divorce William j. Gaynor was the referee,
and the witnesses were William Adams and John
Anser, who testified to immoral acts, on the
part of the defendant at Plainheld n. j.
The referee thought the evidence man
ufactured, and he reported that it was perjury.
1t was found that neither witness was IN business
where he said, and the Grand Jury brought indict-
ments against the witnesses. 1t is believed that the
Adams, or Hardie, now wanted is the man: More
evidence has been found connecting Law with the
bogus divorces He is under 5000 bail, fur:
n1 B0ss TcLansh f Law was in the Court
House yesterday, and said that he was innocent OF
the charges made against him and would vindi-
cate himself at the proper time.
District-Attorney Ridgway said that there vas
abundant evidence TO convict Law. Another link
Connecting him with Adams was this Dispatch which
was found in Adamss office:

The signature on the bogus DEGREES of Law as
referee are genuine, or, such good forgeries that
they cannot be told from the genuine.
