The Gaskill family in Philadelphia
ranks with the Blnneys. the Prices. the
Cadfyalladers, the Biddles and Kitten
houses, and perhaps has a greater
claim to pride of ancestry than any
one Of them. The early members OF
the Gaskill family were the stoutest
champions Of Tom Paine when he was
n consultant Of John Hancock in the
drafting of the Declaration OF indie
pendence, and the original Benjamin
Gaslsill, after whom a street is named
Ia the southern part OF the city, was
Hancock's most valiant defender when
he was assailed in front OF the old
CarDenters Hall.
Gaskill was only forty-one years old
when he died. He WI : member of
The Manufacturers Clgb, the Union
League, the Country Club. the Clover
Club and other organizations. and
the revelations astound even the sever
est of his critics.
Tie administrators Of the estate,
Lincoln L. Eyre and George M. Wag-
ner, have retained John G, Johnson to
protect the interests of the estate.

Other Frauds Discovered.

This led to a further investigation,
and with startling results. 1t was
found that Gaskill had credited HIM
self on his own books with COCO shares
of Philadelphia Traction stock valued
at approximately 100000, while the
traction company's books showed he
had only 400 shares. 1t was also dis
covered that he had raised stock GER
tificates of the United Railways Of
New Jersey from to coo, and the
certificates of the Frankfort & South
wark Street Railway Company of this
city from to 20. The latter stock is
worth $3.50 share.
Gaskill kept two accounts-one re-
cording the transactions of his GUS
toners, which was correct, and another
giving his own transactions. His books
showed that he was losing fromS15, coo
to $4,000 year in his business. His
method Of operation was to obtain GER
tifcates of gilt-edged securities calling
for one, two. three or some other small
number of shares. raise the figures and
give them as securities for large loans.
AT least six banks and trust companies
of this city admit holding fraudulent
securities for large loans.

DEATH REVEALS FORGERY
The Late G. H. GaskiI, of Philadel-
phia a Stock "Raiser."
Certificates Altered to the Extent of 9
Million DoIlars-scion of HON
ored FaniIys

Philadelphia, Pa.-If II gnost had
stalked forth and proclaimed Benjamin
Franklin a rebber or Stephen Girard
a pauper it could not have oecasioned
much more surprise than the announce.
ment that Benjamin Fl. Gaskill, who
died four weeks ago, was involved in
a series of forgeries which has result,
ed in a loss Of almost S1,000,O0O tc
banks and trust companies here-the
majority Of them representing the Ill.
tra-conservative type of fiduciary in
situations. 1t was disclosed that Ger,
tificates calling for small numbers of
shares OF stock had been raised"
by skillful process and without ex-
citing the slightest suspicion.
Benjamin III. Gaskill was the sole
member of the banking and brokerage
firm which carried on business under
the title of Benjamin H. Gaskill & Co.
He had fine offices in the financial dis
trict and his credit was gilt-edged.
At the time of his death Gaskill was
reputed to be worth about $500, 900.
He left no will, and when the admin.
istrators started to close up the estate
the remarkable story was revealed.
One of the customers of the firm,
whose name has not been disclosed.
bought from the estate 100 shares of
Philadelphia Traction Company stock
and 100 shares of stock Of the United
States Steel Corporation. He turned
the account over to e. G. Miller & Co.,
which firm sent the 100 shares Of trac-
ton stock to the Philadelphia Traction
Company's Office to have the transfer
recorded. The certificate did not agree
with the company's books, and an in
restigation showed that the certificate
had been raised from six shares to
100 The discovery was reported to
e. G. Miller & Co, which firm immedi-
ately notified The Stock Exchange Of
which Gaskill was a member, which
in turn sent out notices to its members
not to receive stock certificates from
the Gaskill estate. .sas.u..
