When the documents were turned
over 10 Donahue they were supple
mented with a detailed statement OF
the disclosures made by Murray
through a thorough investigation OF
Sisnor's forgeries.
MAY PLEAD GUILTY
i was said last night that Signor
from his attitude at police headQuar-
tiers, indicated strongly that he would
plead guilty. With his confessions Il
Murray and TO the police, the case is
a complete one, all of the documents
being in the hands of the police. Not
only did SignOr admit that Murray
name had been forged. but he told Viii
son and Petersen that the name OF
"E. c. Law" as witness. was also q
forgery.
In explanation OF the long delay
which had followed the exposure and
his action against Signor, Murray said
last night at the Hotel st. Mark in
Oakland: q had been waiting for some
one else to move. It was told me
that two banks in San Francisco had
some of SignOr's forged paper and ]
had thought that perhaps either the
district attorney here or in san Fran
cisco would proceed on his own ac-
count OF course this is a matter which
should not be permitted TO die. After
] had decided that something should
be done, it seemed best that 1 should
proceed in Alameda county. That is
why / went to the district attorney in
Oakland.
PROMISED To MAKE GOOD
SignOr visited the Mercantile trust
company in this city daily with fresh
promises TO make good the two forged
notes which that institution accepted

trust company had the foreer taken
int0 custody by representative of the
Morse agency and vouched to the
trust officials for Signor's integrity.
signor was in conference with the
Mercantile Trust people yesterday for
more than an hour, during which he
pay the notes, which he had promised
10 take up more than a month ago
when his forgeries were exploited. He
told the officials OF the bank Yesterday
that his former wife. who obtained a
divorce from him about six months ago
had become interested in his predica-
ment and had promised to extricate
him from his troubles. Signor brazenIy
informed Vice President John D. Mckee
that his divorced wife had property
which she had volunteered TO turn over
