NOTABLE CASE IN QUESTION.
When the cIeverness of forseries of
everyday occurrence is recognized. it is
easy TO see how q case can be manufac-
iured against any suspect if the prosecut-
ing officers be venal. There is no insinu-
alton that anything of this kind has been

bill was counterfeit. No other spurious
money was found on his person or at his
home in tenement. Eut the police made
a case by finding some old counterfeit
plates in q. closet in the prisoners rooms
The jury took the word of the police. Of
course, the handwriting expert did not
cut any figure in this case, but the
'plant'' was everything.
Looking back over the past fifteen years
in which the photographic expert has
had his innings we find that he has fig
urcd in many important cases not CAPT
tai. The Dodge case at Plymouth, n. II,
in 1855, is memorable. J. A. Dodge was
president of the Boston and Concord rail-
road, and q wealthy man. His confiden-
tial secretary was Henry Raymond, of
excellent reputation. and superintendent
Of "a Sundayschool. Mr.. Dodge died in
August, 1882, and a, few hours before his
death u check for $500, signed by him,
was presented a a, local bank by Ray
n1ond and cashed without question. Just
after the funeral Raymond presented to
the widow a note for 5000, signed by
Dodge, that he alleged was given him as
Il reward for his lifelong devotion. Mrs.
Dodge, who enjoyed her husbands bus
mess confidence, repudated the note She
was interviewed by the newspapers and
denounced Raymond as q swindler. He
sued for libel. Popular sympathy was
with Raymond. The plaintiffs case was
very strong. Daniel Ames, of New York
appeared for Mrs Dodge and produced
enlarged photographs of Dodge's sigma
ture to his viii, <and swore that both
signatures to checl. and note were forS-
cries. The distinctions were based on in
finiteSimal differences in shading and
loop. Raymond fled, and his flight was
accepted as confession.
