A. B. SouthWorth Analyses
the Disputed Signature at
Great Length.

When the weary grind Of the Collom
case was resumed yesterday morning 1t
found Mr.. Caryalho, the leading expert
for the defense on the stand ready to
submit to the DISCRIMINATION of the
cousel for the state. He said he was
forty-One years cid, had lived in New
York city for twenty-nine years; had
taught penmanship, and been testify
ing in court in regard 10 questioned
handwriting for fifteen years, but he
was unable to say in how many cases ne
had been called as witness, and de-
clined TO hazard guess on the subject.
'.You testified in the Gartield-NOrey
forgery. did you not?' inquired Mr..
wellington
Yes, SIR
You made an affidavit in regard to
that forgery, did you nOt?"

paper called Truth that the Morey letter
was written by Garfleld?''
Eyes, Sir; but | based my opinion on

The witness said that he had exam
ined about $50 of Mr.. Blaisdell's sigma
lures, but that all of them had not been
introduced in evidence. He said that
he had not examined the questioned sig
nature under a microscope. but had so
examined Photographic copies Of IT.
Being asked 30 pick out capital b
in the exhibits which reSembled that in
the questioned signature. the witness
designated that in Exhibit Ii as one,
and was proceeding to explain, but was
stopped by the counsel for the state,
who said that he had already answered
the questions, and that no explanations
were in order.
Mr.. Carvalho was requested 10 count
the changes of direction in the ques-
toned signature, and proceeded to the
large photograph, which is the original
signature magnified SIS times, TO do so.
He made out $50 changes, and thought
that if the photograph were four times
a. large possibly he could make out four
times as many changes.
He was then requested 70 count the
changes Of direction in the word Blais-
dell on the large photograph of Exhibit
II. and, having done so, he said there
we're 107, against lis in the large photo
graph OF tine same word in the queS-
toned signature.
This ended what was brief cross
examination, and the witness stepped
down.

Are sailors and ships officers often in col

Il have no doubt of it, was the reply.
Zone of our inspectors in tracing some dutia-
BILE merchandise that called for a penalty of
5000, obtained the name of the ship on
which the goods were struggled, and it being
found that the captain was the smuggler, the
owners were compelled to pay the govern
ment several thousand dollars more. A COM
mon trick formerly in vogue among sailors
who Struggled cigars and other articles into
this portland by the way, they still have
many unsupported customers-was to inclose
the goods in India rubber bags and at a given
signal throw them overheard far down the
bay. By attaching a little phosphorus to
these bags they could easily be seen at night,
and be picked up by men prowling about in
their small boats for the purpose. If you
should go to Hoboken right now, you would
probably find plenty of smuggled brandy
and other desirable things in stores not far
from the steamship docks. The articles
reached shore in the manner 1 have de-

1.-THE dried entrails of beef or hog contain
a good many quarts, and it is not a difficult
matter for a ships officer or a seaman to fill
one of these receptacles, fold around his body
several yards of the stuff and go ashore with
out question. 1t is venture that pays, too.
mot all cigars are smuggled, however, as
may be pretended. When you go into a
fancy restaurant and the proprietor, on the
sly. hands out a box of ten centers, which
he declares if they had not evaded the duty
would be worth twenty-five cents apiece it
is safe to infer that that same box has been
filed with cheap domestics. The customs
officers once made q seizure of several hun
dred boxes of these home made productions
ON the supposition that they had really been
Struggled, but the proprietor paid the duty
like little man rather than have his custom
ers know of the deception he had practiced.
Speaking about sailors and their propen-
titles in this direction, a friend of mine made
a curious discovery while on war ship in
one Of our ports. Some of the men wanted
more grog than constituted their ordinary
allowance, and accordingly made arrange
ments with friends ashore to fill number OF
bladders and carry them off to the ship
under cover of the night. Reaching some
convenient spot around the forecastle, they
would find a lot of strings hanging over the
side. 1t was but the work of moment to
make connection, and in moment more
both bladders and strings would disappear to
some trysting place between decks.

to see it, but the postmaster refused to give it

Rube Burrows robbed train alone on the

shot him dead.

our female inspectors might also travel on
her face, for no man cares to doubt or argue
with pretty woman, especially if she resorts
to her usual weapon-tears. As rule, the
fair sex with their winning ways obtain
many favors, but when you recognize one of
the number who goes back and forth three
or four times year, always returning with
a pile of trunks filed with gimcracks half
made up and only waiting to be ripped apart
in some milliner's establishment to become
worth many thousands of dollars, you know
that she is somebody's agent who is employed
to evade the law and share the spoils that
belong to Uncle Sam.

Not all persons regard this evasion of the law
