a neat forgery was recently com.
mitted by Partisan criminal. one
Altmayer which in It's adroltness and
audacity was worthy OF Jim the PEN
man" himself,
The accused had lately had several
hearings at the Palais de Justice be-
fore NJ. Villiers. Jude d'instrdctlon.
Several times during these hearings
NJ. Nilllers was summoned from the
room for few minutes at time.
During one of these absences the
culprit contrlved to get possession of a
sheet OF paper and an enveIore with
the official printed heading. and also
to nillN the official seal. Then he drew
mp at his leisure a document ordering
his own immediate release, counterfeit
ing with rare skill the judges sigma
ture.
on quitting the court one day he
handed the letter thus prepared TO the
sentinel stationed In the corridor. ana
remarked In an off-hand manner: "'rhe
judge wants you to carry this letter
Immediately TO the director of the
Maaas Prison" The aoldler suspectlng
nothing, took the lotter and accom-
panied the prisoner 10 Mazas. A few
minutes later Altmayer was SUM
moned TO the directors office and was
informed that he was II free man.
with nm outburst OF simulated iov
and surprise he at once took his de-
parture. and as tho fraud was NOT dis.
covered until the following day. he
had plenty OF time TO get beyond the
reach OF the clutches OF French Ius-
tlce.
