FLOOD OF LIGHT.
Mystery ofthe Burned Newton, n. II
Bonds Explained.

The jig is up in the famous Newton, n. ii.
bond forgery eases, and that the attempt to
collect from the town by holders of these
bonds will fail is generally believed. John s.
Peaslee, one of the selectmen Of the town
when the genuine bonds were issued. has
said that the two $500 forged bonds, which it
is claimed constitute the over-issue, were
burned in his presence, Mr.. Peaslee will 50
state In his deposition, which will be read at
the coming herring at Exeter.
This testimony of Mr.. Peasees has not
been made public but short time, and has
caused u marked sensation ~ Newton. Here
tofore it was considered by some that there
might have been an oyer-issue, and that the
bonds were not forged at all. Mr.. Peasce
tells new story OF the issue of the 100000
genuine bonds in 1875, which has heretofore
never been published. All but 1000 OF
these bonds were disposed of by town
treasurer Wilder, who could not sell them be-
cause they were of $500 denomination. He
returned them to the selectmen unsigned by
himself and in return received 10 500 bond =,
which we're Immediately disposed Of. These
two $500 bonds were the ones burned.
The only basis for the suit now brought
against the town of Newton by \. X. John
son of Hayerhll. who holds an alleged $500
forged bond, is that there was an over-i5-ue
Mr.. Peaseees statement that thcsa bonds
were burned aud that Of Mr.. Wilder that his
signature to Mr.. .Iohnson's bond Is forged
will undoubtedly squclch all further attempts
to force payment from the town OF Newton.
