THE SIGNATURE DENIED
HANDWRITING EXPERTS ARE
CALLED TO THE STAND.
An Interesting Case in Judge Carter
Court James l.. Bradiey's
WiIl-Other Court Cases.

The strength of the testimony of hand
writing experts in litigation will be tested
in Judge Carriers court Yesterday the
suit of Alfred B. Brown against William
Lather and his mother. on bond, was being
tried. and the expert testimony is the out
growth of the litigation. William Lather
was a building contractor, and took a con-
tract to build a house for Brown on East
washington street. In giving the bond II
was agreed that his mother should be the
surety. The architects prepared a bond,
gave 1T to Lather, and he returned it with
the necessary signatures.
Before the house was finished Brown
learned that claims were coming in against
Lather for material furnished, and that
mechanics liens would probably be filed
against the property. Lather was consult
ed about the matter, and assured Brown
that all would be right. The testimony
yesterday was also TO the effect that his
mother told the architect and Brown that
she would see hat the bills were paid. Ii
is averred that Lather became dilatory
In the work after the complaints were
made. postponed finishing the house on the
plea of sickness. and later left the city.
This was last March, and the mother and
Lather 8 wife both testified yesterday that
they have not since heard from him.
When the mother was asked about the
bond she denied the signature. The suit
followed. Mrs. Lather filed an answer to
the suit denying her signature. The two
experts were introduced by
Mcbride d Denny, Browns attorneys, TO
mpar the signature of Mrs. Lather on
the answer she filed TO the suit with the
signature on the bond. Their testimony
was that, in their opinion, she had signed
her last name, but her first name was writ
ten by her son. II was their theory that
the son had written her first name, and
then had his mother write her last name.

THE RECENT ERIE DEAL
REVELATIONS As TO THE METHODS
EMPLOYED BY j. r. MORGAN.
The Central Passenger Association
working ON a Scheme to Battle
scaIpers-Other HALLWAY News.

Additional briefs were yesterday submit
ted to Justice Fitzgerald. at New York. in
the action brought by Richard Pine Coffin
against the Erie Railroad Company to re-
strain the directors of the road and its vot-
ing trustees from carrying out an arrange
ment for the purchase OF the Pennsylvania
Coal Company, the Erie & Wyoming Val
ley Railroad Company. and the Delaware
Valley & Kingston Railroad Company for
ss7. OOO.Ooo In an affidavit. Mr.. Coffin says
he lives in Portledge, Biddeford, North
Devon. England. and that he is a minority
stakeholder in the Erie Railroad. He as
serts that he bought 1000 shares of the
stock OF the road on Jan. 20, 1901 The
plaintiff claims that j. p. Morgan & Co.
bought the roads which are feeders of the
Erie system for s27, 400. 900. Mr.. Coffin also
asserts that Mr.. Morgan had also secured
control of the Erie system. After getting
the three roads in question. the plaintiff
says that Mr.. Morgan resold them to the
Erie Railroad Company for $S7,00O.0o0, thus
clearing 50. 1000 90. Mr.. Coffin says that Mr..
Morgan gets $4,000. 900 in bonds of the COM
pany and 5000, 900 in preferred stock. Mr..
Coffin says he has been unsuccessful, al
though he has made the utmost effort, in
securing the affidavits of the then officers
Of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad as
to the offer made to them to acquire the
same assets now proposed TO be sold 10 the
Erie Railroad for many millions.
In answer to the suit, the officers OF the
Erie road contend that the purchase of
the roads in question is necessary 10 the
Erie to save unto itself the coal transport
tation in Pennsylvania, and TO assure itself
a permanent supply of fuel as required by
law. Tn officers assert that the road
was without financial resources and there
fore applied TO Mr.. Morgan's company, the
most important and influential friend of
the 1t is commended that Mr.
Morgan cleared only $2,300,0O0 on the deal,
which was only fair and just, being less
than . per cent. on the transaction. The
stock OF the company, say the defendants,
has increased in value since Mr.. Morgan
became interested in the road.
