1t will come as surprise to many

In recent faw case, where lengthy

was in question, it was alleged that
one Of the papers Included had been
substituted for another sheet. Although
to casual eye all the sheets seemed to
be the work of one hand experts
showed that the spacing was quite diff
ferent, especially between the end of
one sentence and the beginning of an
other, and on the substituted sheet the
new paragraphs began in quite differ

tiers were shaky instead OF upright and
