BLYTHE'S DOLLARS.
A New Trial of the Celebrated
Case Asked.
Expert Piper Declares That Documents Adj
mitted in Evidence Were Forgeries-A
Witness Accused of Perjury.

Ahuge document was borne into Judge Cof-
fey's courtroom yesterday morning and de-
posted upon his desk with several glass
slides, upon which atoms of dried ink had
been pasted. The overgrown document was
an affidavit and motion of George w. Towle,
representing the Blythe Company. for new
trial Of the Blythe case.
Towle submitted as his reasons for de-
handing new trial statements of the re-
suit of critical examination of important
documents admitted in evidence during the
trial, and which he alleges were clear for
geries The documents alluded to are the
Elliott letters and the pedigree in the family
Bible.
The letters were produced at the trial as
specimens of Bythe's handwriting and to
establish the dates of his departures and ar
rivals while wandering in England and on
the Continent. Expert Piper. who made
himself well known as a witness in the
Sharon case, examined the letters by
micr,S scope and camera lucida, and sub
Iected the ink or the inks used in writing
them to a chemical analysis.
WHOLESALE FORGERY CHARGED.
As the result of his investigation he de-
clares that those important documents are
forgeries that were placed in envelopes
which Elliott had received from Blythe.
The dates of these letters were made to
correspond with the p0St-mark on the en-
velopes, but the expert says that they are
all Of recent preparation, written by differ
ent persons, and with more than one kind of
ink.
He also declares that the Blythe pedigree,
as written on the last page of the family
Bible, is a forgery, and in proof of these
statements he submits the slides, ink-speeks
and various other proofs. Following close
upon the introduction of the big document
came a letter that will be read with deep
interest by Florence Blythe. 1t bore the
London poSt-mark and was addressed to
Judge Coffin, San Francisco, California
