FORGER AS EXPERT ADVISOR
Former Criminal Tells Bank of Eng
land How to Protect
It's Notes

LONDON, April ESPECIAL Csblegram to
The Bee 1.-THE authorities have just de-
cided TO investigate the subject of the Bank
OF England notes from the point of view
of the forger. Accordingly, they have called
to their councils William Barmash, one OF
the most notorious forgers OF the period.
Here are some Of his conclusions:
Bank of England notes are ridiculously
easy to initiate. The dull, single-colored
ink in which they are printed is an induce
ment to forgers.'
Barmash. who has been asked to give
expert advice, was released from Penton-
Vile prison after serving a sentence for
penal servtude for participation in bank
note forgery, which, had the plot succeeded,
would have robbed the Bank of England of
$3.50 900. Having resolved to devote his at
tentions TO honest business transactions,
Barmash has had not the slightest reluc-
lance to surrender many of the secrets OF
his former profession.
THE Bank of England" he says. could
stop all the attempts at forging their notes
by printing i'm fifteen or sixteen different
eolors. Even the cleverest OF forgers would
then be obliged TO give up their profession.
/ III we forgers had been as successful as
we thought we would=be at one time we
would have entirely destroyed the credit OF
the old Bank of England note. We lost
It is true, but We lost by the smallest de.
tails and by the slightest OF chances. The
same objections continue today regardinl
the safety OF the bank note in it's present
form and should not be surprised almost
any day 20 learn OF heavy raids being con
Quoted by forgers little more clever than
we were. If this should happen you would
find that the Bank OF England would
quickly adopt my suggestion OF a sixteen
