It was also shown by Lester joel correspond
ence clerk of the Vulcan Iron Works. OF Wilkes
Barre that the stationery of the Peoples Coal
Company was Scotch linen. Joel produced q
large number OF letters from the files OF the iron
works which had been received from the Peoples

date Not one of the letters Is on the kind OF
paper on which the new will and codici1 were
written.
Alfred s Osborne a handwriting expert OF

There is but one chance IN four trillion that a
man could twice write his signature so nearly
alike as the two in question" He said the will

IN the mean time both sides will submit the dis
puted signatures to additional experts.
