Petitions arc to be circulated for sig
natures in every county in the State.

ument signed by every member OF the

was not attainsble at the dime OF Hem.

the petition-one from the jury that
convicted him, another from the Judge
who sentenced him-both showing
that there was no evidence at the time
of his trial of his having fc%loniously
appropriated cent Of the States mon,

that the mouey vas missing; that was
all. 1t is also shown that Hemingway

mems OF false currency IN the big collec-
ton. One of these was the remnants OF
a valuable collection OF counterfeit
notes which was coniscated some time
ago by secret service detectives from
a gold-bug bank in the effete east
This financial institution did not
have the notes in its possession with
no evil intention, but as specimens
from which its officials could more
easily detect questionable paper that
might be presented over its counter.
The collection was preserved in large
book, to the pages of which the notes
were pasted. These were OF all demon
nations and issues, and could have
been gathered only By several years OF
watchfulness- The covers of the book
were stripped off by the committee,
and its contents ruthlessly placed un.

was thus guillotined was also a very

ranged in the dollar mark on their
margins from twenty-five dollars up to
ten thousand dollars. 1t was said that
these were made as samples for a Bos-
ton publisher, who desired some years
ago to print book for the instruction

bonds, which were fac-similes of the
genuine ones, We're intended and some
were actually used as plates for this
book. A recent law stringently for
bidding all kinds of representations of
government currency and other valu-
able government paper brought these
within the pale. and those which could
be obtained were coniscated. There
are several copies, it is understood, in
the possession of private bankers

Along with the counterfeit money
there was large mass of rubbish,
