The book sets forth that the person who
actually forged the Morey letter was a

was originally in the form OF an absf ract
supposed interview with General Gar
held. Davenport possessed himself of
about one thousand letters written by
Hadley between 1873 and 1879, and be
hnds all the distinctive marks of orthoQ-
rapby and caligraphy alike In them and
IN the forged letter. Hadley always mis-
spelled the words "religiously" as it was
misspelled In the forged letter, and all

panies, copies" enemies" he spelled

the signature to the forged letter, a
hundred fac siInile reproductions
prove this conc. usively. Il was on
the display of this evidence
of guilt that Hadley confessed
his part in the crime. Hadley adults
that he wrote the name Henry L. Morey
in the register of the Kirkland House Al
Lynn and substituted it for the name
George Z. O Morey in the affidavit of
Mrs. Clara Mercy, declaring that he
was her son. These forgeries were
made TO sustain the original forgery.
There was no such name as II. l.. Mo-
rey, to whom the forged letter was
supposed to have been written,
nor was there ever any such person
as John W. Goodall, who claimed TO be
the executor of ii. L.. Morey, and who
transmitted the forged letter to Truth.
Hadley wrote the Goodall letters also.
Davenport also says that week or ten
days before the publication In Truth
OF the Morey letter, Charles A. Dana of
the New York Sun was told that such
letter was in existence. and upon his ex.
pressing a doubt. his informant assured
him that such was the case, and that be
believed he could obtain and show 10 to
him (Dana). To this Mr.. Dana replied
that he did not care to see, for the rea
son that he believed that IL any such
letter was in existence. IL was forgery,
and he wished to have nothing 10 do
with it. Lindsey, Ike Morey, was
