The stumbling block in the way of his

Fac-Simile of the Famous Fair Forgery.

go bail that the document which they
have is a forgery and the following in
teresting interview with Mr. Amerman
Is given in substantiation of this be-
lief.
What Mr.. Amcrnan Says.
THE note is a forgery and was pro-
duced by tracing the genuine sigma
lures of John Hardley and H. s. Pierce
lightly with lead pencil on trans
parent sheet of paper and then trans
ferring the impression to the note
afterward going over the lines with a
pen. Upon subjecting the forgeries to
the magnfying glass this manner Of
executing them Is very apparent,
Traces of the lead pencil are seen, be-
cause in erasing the lead pencil marks
with an eraser, the lead is rubbed into
the paper on which the note Is drawn
The tracks OF the pen are not such as
would be made in writing. There are
stops, the shading Is patched, some
parts of the signatures are gone over
the second time and touched up, and
this Is very apparent under the micro
scope. In making the tracings the
fOrger was not careful to go over the
letters In the same form and order one
would expect to see in writing. Some
of the lines that ordinarily ought to
cross the others are not arranged in
that way; for instance in the signature
of Fl. s. Pierce, the line that comes
from the letter in Pierce. and con-
meets with the letter is on top of the

"a note of 100000 has been presented
to the executors of the James q. Fair
estate, In California, about the same
time the note for one-third that amount
was presented to the executors of the
Handley estate. That note purports to
have been made by James G. Fair to
the order of Leland Stanford; both the
maker and indorser are dead and each

banks for collection. 1t Is evident that
some party or parties are thus attempt
ing to defraud estates by forged notes.
The savings of a lifetime, calculated
for the comfort and support of fami-
ly. may thus be stolen and the smaller
the estate the greater the wrong that
will be inflicted"
Other Indications OF Forgery.
Aside from the delineations in the
handwriting Of the Handley note,
spoken of by Mr.. Amerman. other rea-
sons why the executors are confident
that the note Is a designed forgery are
these: Ex-Judge Handley was one of
the most methodical men in respect to
the care of papers and documents; they
were kept by him with mechanical ex-
actness and he filed away every scrap
of paper. every letter, lease document.
note, check, draft, agreement, receipted
bill, etc, that he possessed since he
came to Scranton.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-05-11

Z Among his wagon loads Of papers,
not even q suspicion Of this large note
is mentioned. The ex-judge and II. s.
Pierce had not been on even friendly
terms during life; they were not mimi
cal, but their relations were strained.
Even IL n 100000 transaction, such as
the note would imply. had taken place
between them, 1t would not have been
recorded on a non-interest bearing
promissory note of hand given without
witnesses and made out on common
sheet of note paper. The interest at
Q per cent. would have been 100000 for
ten years. and as both were thorough
business men they would not have been
likely to make note without having
1t bear witness.
The 100000 note and the 100000 one
are believed, from the tight of all de-
tails, to belong to the same man or
party. The latter Is due on May 2s and
the former In September. The coming
of the owners to collect them will be
awaited with great interest.
The facts set forth above show that
some one Is making a systematic effort
to rob estates In this country. The
Corcoran. Fair and Handley notes were
unquestionably made by the same man.
The letter sent to San Francisco was
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-05-11

National bank Of San Francisco, Cali
fornia, a promissory note of 100000
purported to have been drawn by eX-
United States James G. Fair the de-
ceased California millionaire. in favor
Of eX-United States Senator Leland
Stanford, who, too, has departed and
left an estate of millions.
The later note was alleged to have
been drawn in San Francisco on May
IS, 1890, and being for 5 years, would
fall due on the 2Sth of this month. The
note is In possession of President Muir
ply, of the bank, and there Is diff
ference of opinion among the executors
of the Fair and those of the Stanford
estates regarding the genuineness of
it: but the prevalent belief is that the
note Is a forgery, and the assumption
that both notes are the work of the
same man is inferred from the similar
ity of the handwriting in filling out
the notes, which can be observed in the
accompanying fac-smilies.
The eye of the reader Is directed to
the resemblance of the capital S. in
San Francisco and that in Scranton;
and there is a popularity common in
the writing in both notes in the forma-
tion of the small or lower case his that
is regarded as another evidence. The
100000 note reached San Francisco on
Wednesday, April II, and in the same
envelope was very brief note, max
ing no explanation, but requesting the
president of thet bank to collect 1t. Just
the same kind of a note appeared with
the 100000 note that Is now in possess
sion of the executors Of the Handley es-
tate.
Three Identical Cases.
| 1t Is thought that there is some dar-
| ing forger, fortified with remarkable
cunning endeavoring to swindle large
| estates in this manner. A parallel case
| occurred in the estate of Millionaire
Corcoran, of Washington, d. c.; and
| in each of the three occurrences there
could be found no papers among the
| accounts of the deceased that con-
tained any entry of such large trans
| suspicion and leads to the natural be-
lief that forgery had been committed.
Attorney Lemuel Amerman. one of
| the executors Of the Handley estate,
wrote to j. S. Angus, an executor OF
the Fair estate, for Information. Mr.
Angus is positive that the 100000 note
| is forgery and Is awaiting the pleas
| ure of the man who sent it to put in
an appearance and look toward its col
lection. The signature of James G..
| Fair is apparently genuine and the en-
dorsement of Leland Stanford is COM
paratively genuine true, too; but 1t is
regarded by Mr.. Angus as impossible
| that such a transaction could have
taken place between these men in their
lifetime; which would result in having
| note of that amount drawn between
them, bearing no interest, and for such
