hug the ruled line much closer than
the @ ones aud in this respect con-
forming to the illustrated habit in
Exhibit A.
True it is that the G writings, in
the final dts" as made illustrate
them correctly and incorrectly--the
same to be said is respect to the b
writings-but compare those i'm
properly made in the e exhibits of
which st" in the word elost" on line

that kind), are excellent exemplars; !;

fectly made in the B exhibits of
which kind there are none in B 1
and for reasons already set forth.
See B 2, the fret time it occurs, line

times in said exhibit. Exhibit B 3,
line 2, word Crest" repeated dozens
of times in same exhibit. Compare
the final rs in Exhibit a, word
sHoyt," "but," elet" and ait." There
can be no question as to which of
the two writings it belongs, viz: to
the b ones.

habit obtains. For illustration, see

See word "but" in Exhibit A, closed

pressures, relationship to base line,
angle proportioning and composition,
actual forms of letters except the
final stroke of the small ga" in Ex-
hibit A all assimilates so closely as
to make it certain in connection
with the other adduced facts that
Exhibit A was written by the hand
which wrote the B exhibits.
Viewing Exhibit A Independently
for the purpose of discovering, if
possio :, whether or not it presents
any evidence of stimulation or dis
guise, / have to say that lere has
been no erasures, there has been no
,, touching of letters and is therefore
an undisguised piece of writing.
/ could at still greater length pre-
sent much more material for your
observation, but I think that I have
stated sufficient to be able to show
you that in formulating the opinion
that the said Exhibit A was unques-
tionably written by the same hand
which wrote the b exhibits and
which, in reading over the testimony,
/ am informed that the said b ex-
hibits are in the handwriting of the
late Mrs. Lula Hayes, that the rea-
sons for formulating such opinion
rest on solid and substantial
foundation.

THE WORK OF D.. N. CARvALHo.
Friends of Hoyt Hayes wanted
letters of Hoyt and Lula Hayes sub
mitted to an expert on questioned
handwriting to be compared with
the note which played such a part in
the conviction of Hoyt Hayes.
David N. Carvalho was selected by
Governor Hayward as the most emf
nent man in the country in this
work. Hoyt and Lula Hayes had
attended the same school, were the
same age and to an unframed eye
their writing was very similar. Mr..
Carvalho's most conspicuous work
was bis testimony on which Richard
B. Molineux was acquitted,
But suits in the courts of the State
of South Carolina have been settled
on his testimony, and he was kept
on the stand "a honrs in famous
will trial in Newberry. Although
employed by the district attorney of
New York, he has frequently testi-
fed for the defense, showing that he
is entirely unprejudioed.
In response to the request of Gov
ernor Hayward, Mr.. Carvalho named

this case being known as the Du-
pont Powder Mill "White Cap" case.
Case of the State of New York vs..
Cody; this was the case of the at
tempt to palm off daughter claimed
to be that of Jay Gould before his
marriage to the mother of Helen
Gould. Mrs. Cody was convicted.
Nearer home Mr.. Carvalho calls
attention to the city of Charleston,
case of Dupont VS.. Dubose, and at
Newberry, the case of tho State of
South Carolina against Baird. He
was also interested in the forged
Collier will propounded last year in
the city of Atlanta, Ga.
He has had occasion to testify be-
fore the grand jury in New York
and other cities more than 1900
times and in open court all over the
United States within few of 900
times.
ANOTHER EXPERT.
Solicitor Boggs, who has stoutly
maintained the guilt of Hayes, also
submitted the note and other writ
ings of Hoyt and Lula Hayes to a
handwriting expert of his own selec.
tion, Albert S. Osborne, "examiner of
questioned Documents" 1874 South
avenue, Rochester, N. Y. Mr.. Os-
borne's report confirmed Carvalho's
opinion and was very pronounced in
declaring that from the exhibits sub
mitted the note was unquestionably
written by Lula Hayes. Admitting
the reliability OF Osborne-the solici-
tors own witness, es it were-his re-
port is sufficient grounds for a par
don, since it entirely removes the
one strong circumstance of Hoyt
Hayes guilt.
Mr.. Osborne had IL enlarged pho
tographs made of specimens of writ
ing by Hoyt and Lula Hayes and the
questioned note. 1t is from these
photographs that the accompanying
cuts are made.
Osborne's report to Mr.. Boggs fol-
lows:
Report of the examination of the
writings in the case of the State vs..
Hoyt Hayes:
81 have made careful study and
comparison of the note in question
compared with the genuine writings
of Hoyt Hayes and Lula Hayes, and
have reached the conclusion that the
note in question was undoubtedly
written by Lula Hayes.
"The inquiry presents some difficult
ties at the outset, and is of such a
character that one inexperienced
might be misled, as the standard
writings written by schoolmates, and
man and wife show numerous similar
characteristics, the result of teaching,
or conscious or unconscious imitation.
These characteristics should, in such
an inquiry of course, be properly in
terpreted and given their proper
weight, and alone should, of course,
not be sufficient to connect either
writer with the writing in question.
81 have used for comparison mainly
the freely written letter of Lula
Hayes, dated October Oath, 1902,
and the freely written letter of Hoyt
Hayes to George Gibson, marked @
2. These two letters show signifi-
cant characteristics of these writer's
sufficient to show that the writing in

Says YukOn's Best Is To
Come

"In about five years the Yukon will
reach its best years insofar as the
quantity Of its gold production is con-
cerned." Those were the words Of
William S'oan, member Of the Domin-
ion parliament for the Atlin-Comox dis
trict, who srriued yesterday from the
interior after a visit to Dawson and
Atlin.
Mr.. Sloan is an old Klon liker. He
went into the Yukon in 1896, the year
before the stampede, and was one Of
the first stakers on Eldorado, and the
first claim owner on that creek who
found pay. This is his first trip into
the interior in seven years, when he
sold his property and came the outside
for good and all.
In speaking OF his recent visit, Mr..
Sloan said:
"The tremendous success that has
followed the introduction Of dredges
into the Kloudike has immensely in
