a few OF the important cases which
were decided by his testimony, and
which are here mentioned.
The Fair will case, California; the
Davis will case, Montana; the Holt
will case, District of Columbia; the
Monroe will case, New York city !;
the Rice will case, New York city !;
the Dinon will case, New York CITY {;
the Tigho will case, New York city !;
the Gordon will case, New Jersey !;
the Myra Clark Gaines will case,
New Orleans. The estates affected
by the decisions in these amounted to
$100,000,O00. In the late $50, 100000.
Mr.. Carvalho was the government
witness in the Carter and Morton
courtmartials. And in the Bedell
forgeries, the Baker forgeries, Penn
sylvania; these amounting to $780,
600. In the late contest decided,
Bonynge vs.. Shafforth, he was en-
ployed by resolution of Congress,
which case involved a contested
Colorado seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Among the capital cases in which
he testified may be named as impor-
tant: The commonwealth of Massa.
chusetts vs. Trefethen; the State of
New York vs. Mary Agnes Flem-
ming; State of New York vs. AL
bert T. Patricks; State of New
York vs.. Caesar; State of New
York vs. Doughterty; State of New
York vs.. Molineux. This last case
was twice tried. At the first trial
the prosecution produced II experts,
of which Mr.. Carvalho was not one
the defense introduced no testimony.
Molineux was convicted. The main
point of his appeal was the intro
duction of false standards of hand
writing. A new trial was ordered,
in which Mr.. Carvalho testified for
the defense, and Molineux was ac-
Quilted in ten minutes.
He was employed by the State OF
Delaware against Clark and Gibbons,

more the angle of the small "s" in

question was written by Lula Hayes
and was not written by Hoyt Hayes.
"The standard letters referred to
show certain divergent charscteris-
tics which naturally are of the most
significance in such an inquiry. One
such characteristic is the excessive
slant of the small sy' in the writing
of Lula Hayes and the normal slant
OF this letter and sometimes a ten
dency to bend the lower part to the
right, as is shown on photograph 8,
in the writing of Hoyt Hayes. On
numerous other examples of the
writing of Hoyt Hayes, he also
crosses the loop higher and usually
connects it with the following letter.
A study of this letter alone in the
two standard writings as compared
with the same letter in the note in
question very strongly influences my
opinion as to the authorship of the
writing in question.
1.-THE writing in question shows the
capital IL made in peculiar manner
above the base line with two finishing
loops on line with each other, and
with the beginning loop sometimes
made high above the base line. This
identical letter, showing these pecu-
liar individual and unconscious char
acteristics, is shown in numerous in
stances in the standard writing of
Lula Hayes as is illustrated in photo
graphs Nos. 10 and II.
"The small su' in the word Lula is
also peculiar, beginning with an up
ward left curve. The capital 'H' in
the writing is peculiar letter di-
vergent from that of Hoyt Hayes,
and Identical with that of Lula
Hayes. This Is peculiarly signifi-
cant, as it is the letter written by
both writer's in their signatures,
which is also true of the small ey'
referred to above.
"The small sb' in the writing in
question shows in the word but q
closing of the letter at the right
hand side, and this same tendency in
