Orange, n. j., and signed u. B. Ford :
as follows:
Dear Sir: Inclosed please find Judgment note.
Collect when due and hold funds subject to my
order and you viii be well paid for 50 doing.
The lawyers wrote to Ford for further
information Their letter was returned
stamped Unknown" Mr.. McKeen thin
consulted Chester b. Fulmer and Nj.
Steele, who pronounced the note for
gerry. They admitted that it was c!everly
executed. When Mr. Edelman learned of
! this note he compared his two signatures
with that to the Knecht * McKeen let
| ter and it was clear that all three sig
natures were by one hand.
More recently a note for S91tO was
| sent for collection to l.. j. Fox IL Brother,
lawyers, of this city. 1t was against the
| estate of the late John |. Blair, of Blairs-
| town. N. j., "A widely known millionaire.
I fhe note is stiIl in possession of Fox X
| Brother, who have not been able to com
municate with the sender of it. whose
name and address they will not make
public. Inc note has been pronounced a
forgery, and no attempt will be made to
collect it. As Mr.. F'uln:er was a bank
president and Mr.. Blair was president of
several railroads, their signatures were
not difficult to obtain.
Several weeks ago Mrs. George P. Rich
ards, of Dingrnans Ferry. Pa, found be
tween the lea.cS of an old family Bible
a note for ISL 500 purporting to be signed
by the late Abram Nesbitt. of Kingston,
Pa, and made in favor Of George L. Rich
ards. deceased. 1t was dated eight years
ago.
Mrs. Richards presented the note for
payment, whereupon it was pronounced a
forgery. A suit has been brought, ana
there is to be warm battle over the
genuineness of the signature, The note
is now in the office of the parliamentary
office at Wilkesbarre.
Abram Nosbitt, to whom the note was
shown short time after II was found,
branded it a forgery and engaged counsel
to prevent its collection.
Il never made but one judgment note
in my life and that one was made a few
years ago he said to his attorneys
when George =. Richards died he OVID
me about $4,000 which | never received.
| don't think Richards ever saw the note.
1t was made after his death" Mrs Rich
ards maintains that the note is genuine
and says it was discovered by accident.
MIR. Nesbtt said she, land my hus-
band were close friends. and when he
met with the accident that caused his
death he told me be had about 100000.
An investigation showed that he did not
leave one-half that amount. Mr.. Nesbitt
promised to protect me and wanted to
examine my husbands papers when he
died. but | refused to allow it. There is
nothing unusual about my find. i dis
covered many other valuable papers in
the Bible:''
The original note was shown to several
experts by the attorneys for Mrs. Rich
ards, and they pronounced it genuine. Ii
bears date of March 10. 1893. but four days
prior to the death of Richards, who was
struck by a railroad train.
Abram Nesbitt is one of the wealthiest
bankers in northeastern Pennsylvania
His friends point to the fact that he had
interests trebing the amount of the al
legged forged note in local banks in 1898
the year it is claimed to have been made.

! q few armed men. in taking possession
Of the Government buildings, but Kala
kaua's courage failed He deserted his
stanchest supporter and ordered his
soldiers,not to do anything to assist the
young insurrectionist.
! Wilcox's men had few arms, and the
missionary party" learning that they
would have the support of the Kings
500 riflemen,s succeeded in capturing
| Wilcox and his force. 1t took the 500
all one day to compel surrender from
Wilcox and eight men, who were con-
cealed in a wooden bungalow of the
King.
Wilcox had jury trial. The twelve
men in the box were his countrymen
and they dismissed him, declaring the
King also factor in the revolution.
In 1890 the Wilcox party won in the
Legislature and the missionary par
ty' was driven out, but the King, who
had an opportunity to accomplish a
coup d'etat, appointed a weak Cabinet
Too late he saw his blunder and sailed
to San Francisco, where he died from
downheartedness.
Queen Liliuokalani in 1893 was de-
throned by United States Minister
rines of the cruiser Boston. Then Will
cox sWore allegiance to the Queen, and
in 1895 Joined her revolution.
Mr.. Wilcox has been the most unre-
lenting enemy of the missionaries.
When Liliuokalani upset them, Wilcox
fought with her. When she surrender
ed to them he waged war against her.
In 1896 Wilcox was instrumental in a
r.a6 a Crlfr ,cf =
kept Enforcement in terror for sew
eral weeks. Finally he was captured
and condemned to death, and it was
only through the influence of President
Cleveland and Congress that the Dole
Government commuted the sentence to
thirty-five years. Imprisonment and
$4,000 fine. He was soon pardoned.
Don Caesar Celso Moreno is now in
the United States. 1t was he who took
Wilcox and the Kings son to Italy.
Strangely enough it was not until the
eaurt declared that Wilcox had mar
ried the Princess under false pretenses,
and later committed bigamy, that Mr.
Moreno knew that Wilcox had deceived
the people into believing him to be a
Prince.
1T has taken me twenty-one years
to learn this man" says the old Prime
Minister. II, who pride myself on my
judgment, have been deceived
With such a varied, adventurous ca
reer behind him, Robert w. Wilcox
comes to America once more in the
name of his native land.
He comes with the record of having
been the most persistent opponent of
American influence in the Islands. 1t
seems as if his experience with the
Princess had embittered him against
the white race.
He was elected by native votes
against the missionary party's'' ut
most efforts, and he owes them no
thanks and no allegiance.
