THE GENUINE SIGNATURE.


THE ALLEGED FORGED SIGNATURE.
large signatures of Mr.. Blaisdell and
also some that are said 10 be forged.
He described the process by which these
were made, and they were placed III
eyidence-twenty-s in all.
Daniel Il. AmeS, the state expert,
then took the stand and gave his resi-
dence at Elizabeth, N. j.. and his place
of business at 202 Broadway, New York.
He said he was pen artist and pub
Usher, and gave in detail a number of
cases in which he has been sworn as an
expert in penmanship and forgery dur
ing the past twenty years. He said
that he had been sworn in several hun
Qred of such cases. which had occupied
one-third of his time for fifteen years.
He was shown the alleged sworD sig
nature of Mr.. Blaisdell on the back of
exhibit A. and also the genuine sigma
lures on exhibits b. G, ID, E and +, and
was asked if they were written by the
same man.
He answered.: mo, sir, they were
not"
The court then adjourned Into Judge
Lochren's room, but, as some difficulty
WAS experienced in placing the large
frames containing the enlarged sigma
lures in position where the Jury could
see them while Mr.. Ames explained the
difference between the alleged forged
and the genuine signatures, the court
adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning,

The Real ShortLine

There is a great deal of talk Just now
In the papers about "Short Lines" to
this. that and the other point. From
some Of the claims put forth, the public
would get an idea that the railroad hay
ing the least mileage between two given
points is the "Short Line" beyond a
question. But is it? Is no account to
be made Of time, comfort, or aceommo-
datiOns? Is not the true "ShOrt Line"
the one which makes the best time, has
the smoothest roadbed, and furnishes
the best accommodations? If these
considerations have any weight. il will
be found that 1.-THE Burlington" is the
real Short Line from the Twin Cities to
Chicago
The mileage is little more than that
OF one or two Of the older lines, but 1t
makes the best running time, is the
only hght-grade thoroughfare, and has
an equipment uneQualed for elegance
and comfort.
The first train over the line. Oct. "a
1886, made the run from st. Paul to
Chicago in eleven hours and ten min
utes; st. Paul to La Crosse. Nov. 5. 1872
miles. in I25 minutes-time that has
never been equaled or approached.
The idea that The Burlington is
longer line than others is totally errone-
Gus. Travellers will find it the Real
Short Line.

l.. ID. Larrieu Ends His Life In a

Fit of MeIanch liza.
A sad case of death and probably sui
eide was brought to the notice of Cor
oner Towers late Thursday night. l..
d. Larrieu, travelling salesman for the
lumDer firm of jefferson & Kasson, of
st. Paul, who lived at 745 Jefferson
street northeast, died Thursday under
circumstances which strongly indicate
suicide. Mr.. LarrIeu had for number
of years been troubled with insomnia,
and had used morphine as an Opiats.
Thursday afternoon he went to Re-
viere's drug store at Adams and Sum-
mer streets northeast and asked for his
favorite drug, requesting the clerk to
put it up in One-grain powders. This
the clerk refused to do, but put up
twenty half-grain powders and sold him
a bottle OF the Sulphate. About an
hour afterwards word was sent 10 the
drug store that the man was dying.
DIR. j. E. Stockton was hastily sum-
moned, but when he arrived he was
dead. Coroner Towers went to the
house and found two little children
holding the hands of the dead man.
while another lay over the body kissing
him. DR.. Towers took possession of
the bottle containing the morphine and
the powders. None of the powders had
been touched. but thirty-five grains
were missing from the bottle and the
supposition was that he had taken it
with the intent to end his life. The
body was removed to Berckus' under
taking establishment and yesterday
Drs. Lephert and Drew made post
mortem examination. The contents of
the stomach were taken by DR.. Drew
for analysis. No inquest will be held.
Larrieu was about forty-ive yerrs of
age, married, and leaves wife and five
children, the Oldest eleven years and
the youngest babe Of two months. He
had lived in Minneapolis about year.
His body will be taken to Pineville,
Wis, for interment.

THE COLLOM TRIAL

It is said that the state has more eX-
perts on penmanship besides MeSsrs.
Ames and CurtisS, and it is claimed that
it will demonstrate to the complete
satisfaction of everybody that the i'll
dOrsement of Mr. Biaisdell's name on
the pote in the trial is forgery. Prob
ably the experts of the defense will be
equally positive. and their demonstra-
tions may be equally conclusive.
Judge 7oung and County Attorney
Jamison are confident that the trial Will
be finished next week. 1t has generally
been thought longer time would pe
required.
Mr.. Chamberlain testimony yeSter-
day on the matter of COllOm'S eonieS-
sion was stronger than had generally
been anticipated; still it was not as
strong as thatof MCssrS. Davis and Farl-
ham. 1t was quite evident. however,
that it made a deep impression: when
will require quite an effort on the part
of the defense to remove.
It is rumOred that the defense has a
witness who will testify that he over
heard COllom and Anderson arranging
the details of the alleged conspiracy to
defraud the COilOm creditors by pre-
tense, on the part of COLON, that
Blaisdeli'S Endorsements were ali

1t is said that the bulk of the stock will
be sold in this country and the balance

Vice President Washbnrn was seen in
regard to this report. and said that while
a deal is pending. it is not in any ma
teriaIly different shape from what it has
been for several months, although he
said It might possibly be cOnsummated

that it should then be organized into a

THEORY OF THE DEFENSE
That CoIlom and Anderson Con.
spired to Cheat the Creditors.

W. B. Anderson was next called, and
eorroborated Mr.. Davis account of the
interview of the witness with Collom
after he had confessed. in which the
latter is said TO have admitted that all
of the Endorsements of Mr.. Blaisdell
upon his paper were forgeries.
Mr.. Anderson's testimony was not
shaken upon the cross-eXaminatiOn.
The defense then asked him if he had
any conversation with COLON in regard
to scheme whereby the latter was to
claim that Blaisdell'S Endorsements were
forgeries, and thus compel the creditors
to settle at 80 cents on the dollar.
The prosecution objected to this as
not crOss-examination, and during the
discussion. when some reference was
made by Judge Koon to the scene IN

he made his way TO Morocco. Here his

whom hemust have had aterrlble grudge
He came into the town one day and dis

railroads came to take business away
from the river towns. some OF which
had an immense trade.
"The place | was in had 5000 or 5000

as well as the place where the farmers
obtained all their supplies. The last
time was there it had dwindled down 20
a village of 1000. and perhaps by this
time il has no existence at all, even on
the map. These bills that were so freely
scattered about stated that the advertiser
had contract with certain steamboat
company for furnishing large number
of cats to destroy the rats and mice that
were very numerous about the ware
houses at different landings along the
river. He therefore offered So for each

"Well, that Thursday afternoon came
and all the streets of the town were just
