New York, April 6.-At least 1000

or were forged, according to informa-
ton in the possession of District At
torney Jerome. This came out after
Benjamin NJ. Goldberger, a notary, who
is employed in the registers Office. was
arrested on the charge of forgery. 1t
was announced at the district attor-
ney's office that while there is legal
evidence that only 1000 have been
forged, it is the belief of those who
have been making the investigation
that from so to 80 per cent of the
names were forged.
Republicans Aided.

with the knowledge of republicans and
through their connivance. Goldberger
is lieutenant of Jacob A. Newstead,
republican leader in the Twelfth as
sembly district. and as one of the
prime movers in the scheme it is charg
ed that Goldberger used the district
headquarters to manufacture a large
number of the petitions. The same
thing was done in other districts, it is
said. sHG
At least 200 men have been ques-
toned at the district attorneys office
and they have sworn they never sign
ed the petition. Some of them were
angry and threatened vengeance. 9th
er names were looked up in other ways
Thirty NOtnries Involved.
Then it was learned that number
of copyists employed by an envelope
company had been working
under the direction of Goldberger. 1t
is also said that 80 notaries were en-
ployed to put their seal on the forged
petitions
