He failed to get the desired type, and a
zlncograph of the form was finally made.
Attorney Reddy came to the center
with all sail spread to declare that Claus
sens testimony had no bearing on the
case. There was a set-to, but Barnes
finally managed to get clear and proceeded
on his way.
Where is the zincographT
''In Barry's office"
''When was this printing done?"
''On Saturday and Monday last?"
Reddy came up again, hammer and
tongs, and demanded a show of hands
from Lees and Barnes.
In reply, the District Attorney said he
would show that Claussen had been max
ing the rounds of the town in search of a
certain kind of type, and failing, Barry
had printed about 1000 of the forms
from a zincograph. This lot, continued
Barnes, had been carefully sifted and
sorted, those with water mark being
laid aside.
whats this to do with Cooney, any,
howP" asked Reddy. "Has not the de-
endant the right to print blanks to test
the ability of these experts who have been
hired TO identify the Crocker certificate
with the pencil Acknowledgements. Time
and time again haven't these experts been
caught in their own trapr
"But the idea of introducing this evi-
dence," continued Reddy. sis not with a
view to connecting it in this case, but to
prejudice the people through the newspa-
pers against Cooney."
Barnes got clear again and Claussen con-
tinued.
"How was this certificate printedP'
"From a zincograph plate.
SIS zincograph made from photo
graph2"
"Yes, sir"
"Where is that plate?"
"In the Office, L suppose. In charge OF
the foreman"
"Did you see delivered the certificates
printed from this Zincographr'
mo-
'Do you know how many of these
blanks were printedT
II do not"
On cross-examination Claussen said he
did not see the printing actually executed.
He read the impression of the plate, and
was satisfied the wording was that of no
tarial blank. He had first been instructed
to see if the form could not be printed in
other printing houses.
Foreman George s. Barry added the few
missing details in Claussens story.
"Did you order the making of that
zincographp'
mo, sir"
"Was it made in your Officer"
mo, sir"
when did you first see it2''
81 think within two weeks. I saw it
for the first time on the composing
stone"
"Did you have anything to do with
printing the blanks from this plateP'
mo; my work ceased when locked the
form up and handed 1t to the pressman.
The zincograph itself got into court
when Barry resumed his story after The
noon adjournment.
FL. Barry, the manager of the printing
house. would be along in few moments
to facilitate matters by telling who ordered
the job.
II can't see what is the idea of putting
this into the record unless it be to assure
the experts that they will not be trapped
unawares," said Reddy. "If the prosecu-
tion desire copies of these blanks l in
form them that we have plenty to go
around"
Barnes called William F., another of the
Barry family, to give the details of the
presswork connected with the reproduc-
Iion of the blanks.
How were the forms printed?"
From a zincograph."
'How many of them did you print?"
Somewhere in the neigh borhood of
1000, think"
The zincograph came in two parts. One
section contained the complete wording of
a notarial blank. The other was an etch-
ing of the trade mark of III. S. Crocker
that generally appears on the margin of
the forms turned out by that house.
Barnes desired to know if the Crocker
etching had been reproduced on the
blanks.

pressman.
