ORDERS WERE FORGED.
Scandal Has Been Developed by the
Inquiry Into Indebtedness of
Lackawanna Township.
Forged Orders Exist.

AS was expected, the marshalling of
Lackawanna township has developed
a scandal. Evidence of bogus orders
have been discovered, and one that is
admitted to be a forgery is now in the
hands of Hon. John p. Quinnan, the
commissioner engaged in passing upon
the townships Indebtedness.
One of the orders considered at yes
terday's hearing contained the forged
signature of Supervisor Frank Toole.
1t was dated June 5, 1897, and drawn
In favor of John McCahll for $685.
1t was presented by Robert Moore.
Attorney M. ]. Donahoe, solicitor for
the township, contests every order pre-
sented, and the holders of the orders,
to prove their claim, bring in the man
from whom they received the order, to
show how he came by it, and the sup
ervisor who signed it to prove that
it is genuine.
When the order in question was Of
fered Supervisor Toole pronounced
the signature a forgery and swore fur
ther that the blank on which it was
drawn was not the form used by eth
/. er him or his colleague, Supervisor
Quinn.
opoii pciiB ny tHt dttOT-
neys who are fighting the claims, Sup
ervisor Toole admitted that he was
familiar with the forged order, and had
begun an investigation of it.
The order originated. he said. with
Patrick Gallagher, and came, accord
ing to Gallagher's admissions. from his
brother Charles Gallagher. one Of the
township auditors. MY brother Of
fered it to me and I took it. that's ALL"
was what he told to Mr.. Quinn. When
pressed to tell where the printed
blanks were secured, Gallagher re-
fused, saying that it would get
prominent man in trouble, and he
didn't propose to do that.
Mr.. Toole supposes that a new pad
or blanks were printed by the forger
or that some blanks used by a former
supervisor were in some way secured.
The fact that many claims, known to
exist. are not being presented for in
spection, leads to the belief that more
of these bogus orders are afloat. and
that the holders. at the instance of
the party who issued them, are hold
ing them back.
1t was reported yesterday that
warrant had been issued for Auditor
Gallagher's arrest.

WELLEs-FRoTHINGHAM SUIT.
An outgrowth Of 1t Came UP in
Court Yesterday.

On petition Of Annette REYNOLDS,
Judge Edwards yesterday granted a
rule returnable at argument court, to
show cause why judgement should not
be opened in the case of c. II. Welles
against Laura and Arthur Frothing-
ham.
Welles has a s2S,ooo judment against
the rockingham and has attempt
ed to seize upon a property that they
have disposed Of to Miss Reynolds.
Ifer main defense is that the judg-
ment is not valid. as a tender was
made by John T. Lenahan, attorney for
the Frothinghams, in payment of the
debt on which the Judgment was secur-
ed and that the agreement for a set
tlement was repudiated by Mr.. Wells.
The case is an outgrowth of the
rockingham theater litigation.
