portrayed upon the majestic organ.

SENSATIONAL CASE.
Forgeries Cause Banks and Trust Com
panies to Lose Great Deal

Philadelphia, June 22.-One of the
most sensational cases of forgery that
has ever been brought to light in fn.1-
cial circles OF this city was disclosed
when it vas announced that certificates
calling for small numbers of shares Of
stock had been fraudulenty raised to
hundreds of shares causing a loss to
six banks and trust companies of this
city from s75O,000 to 100000. The
forgery involves the name of Benjamin
H. Gaskill, who died four weeks ago.
Gaskili was the sole member of the
banking and brokerage concern known
as BENJAMIN Fl Gaskili e. Co. He had
offices in the financial district. and
his credit was considered giltedged.
Gaskill kept two accounts. one record
ing the transactions of his customers.
which was correct, and another giving
his own transactions. His books show
ed that he was losing $4,000 to SIS 900
a year IN his business. His method of
operation was to obtain certificates of
giltedged securities, calling for one, two,
three or some other small number of
shares, raise the figures and give them
as securities for large loans.
