FORGEDN.ANDW W. STOCKS
Nine Counterfeit Certificates Kno7on
To Be an Circulation.

AJepobers of tho New-York Stock Exchange
were cautioned Yesterday against counterfeit
certificates of common stock of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company. which are IN CIR
culation. Nine hundred shares thus far II is
said have been discovered.
1t was learned from the Guarantee Trust Com
pany. transfer agents in this city for the Norfolk
and Western Railway Company. that two young
men came to its office yesterday and presented
two certificates. each for 100 shares of Norfolk
and Western common stock. These were put in
the hands of Joseph NJ. Murphy, who has such
matters in charge.
When he looked over the certificates one of
them at once struck him as being off color. The
other was all right. but the first seemed differ
ent from similar certificates with the appearance
of which he familiar. Comparison showed
plainly that the suspected one was forgery
On the certificates of Norfolk and Western stock
is the picture of locomotive. On the good GER
tfcete this locomotive is pictured as running
towards the left. In the suspected certificate
Murphy that the locomotive was running to
the right. This made it certain that the certif-
cate was forged, and closer examination only
made the forgery more certain.
On the back of the forged certificate were the
names of three firms which had apparently in
dorsed it at different times. Examination of
these Endorsements showed that two of the
names were forgeries, while the third was good
Apparently the forger wrote the false sigma
lures and with them to make the certificate ap-
pear genuine disposed of it to the firm whose
good Endorsement appeared on the back. The
two young men who brought the certificate to
the Guaranty Trust Company were employees
Of this firm The trust company officials would
not make public the names of any of the in
dorsers, good or forged.
This is the first instance known in Wall Street
where certificates of such active stock as
Norfolk and Western have been forged. Nom
active stock certificates have sometimes been
forged but not such stock as the Norfolk and
Western.
forged certificate evidently cost the firm whose
good Endorsement appeared on it $500
Nine such forged certificates each for one
hundred shares. are known to be in circulation,
according to the Guaranty Trust Companys
statement, and there may be more whose falsity
has not been discovered.
It is believed the forged certificates were made
by workmen who were familiar with litho-
graphic work, but the execution of the counter
felt certificates indicates a crudeness which
might be caused by the counterfefters not hav-
ing the proper tools at hand with which to com
plete their work.
On close inspection of the bogus papers many
small details which appear on the correct GER
tifcates are missing. The carelessness so dis
PLAYED and the error in lithographing the picture
of the locomotive are attributed by Wall Street
men to hasty workmanship.
