Chemistry Shrewd Detector of Forgery
Some years ago Il travelling salesman
related to me curious incident Of de-
tecting Il forgery He was travelling
salesman when emery wheels came into
early use. and he sold d quite large
wheel in Providence. II. l.. and wrote
them what speed it was warranted to
run at safely. In Il short time the
party wrote to him that the wheel had
burst and broken one mans arm and
done other great damage So when he
went to their city he called at their
place. and they sued him for some thou
sands of dollars damage: and as he was
out of his State it caused him no little
trouble to secure bonds for appearance
at court for trial of the case. This he
did. however. Then he commenced to
study how to get out OF his trouble.
He had been rather careless in not
copying his letters. and this one in par
ticular; but happy thought struck
him. and he went to their Office and in
quired what ink they used. They said
Carriers exclusively. In looking at the
letter he thought that the figure in the
lSOO was of slightly different shade
than the 500, while the salesman used
Arnold's only in his office SO in going
home he went and saw a scientific chem
list in New York City and paid him $50
to furnish 4 chemical solvent that
would dissolve and remove either ink
without affecting the other. So in
about d month came to him, by express,
two bottles. one marked to remove Car
ter'S ink and the other to remove Ar
nold'S, with directions how to apply
and use it, He tested them. and both
We're a success.
The time for court came. and he APP
peared there with counsel. He heard
the evidence of proprietor and book
keeper. In cross examination the book
keeper SWOre that he used Carriers ink
only. The SalesmanS letter was pro-
duced. The Judge and foreman Of the
Jury were called to table to see an
experiment in chemistry. Defendant
had two bottles of ink and two bottles
of solvent The court was asked to
write his name with the two inks on
two pieces of paper and dry them
thoroughly by the fire. Each solvent
was tested; one removed the Carter ink
and the other the Arnold. Then the
letter was brought and the court asked
to carefully examine the shades CT ink,
and thought it discovered slight diff
| ference.
Then the solvents were applied. and
the figure completely removed with
out affecting the figures SEQ
The court said. 1t is not necessary
to proceed in this case. The jury is in
structed to bring in verdict for de-
PENDANT, with costs Of prosecution.
Said the salesman who related this to
me. IL was not through with them then.
/ made them pay for that emery wheel,
all of my costs and time, and my law
yer's fees, or risk suit for forgery.
They paid everything up and quit. and
had very costly emery wheel. RI. Il.
