ROMANCE OF A FoRGER.
Riehard w. Vaughn, the orisins' Bank
note Fcreer.

In 1857 merchant in London
bv the nar0e Of Bliss advertised for
. clerk and selected from the appli-
cants Richard w. Vaughn, who,
after a time, succeeded in winning
the confidence of his employer to
such an extent that the clerk was
taken to the merchants home and
made a welcome visitor. Mr.. Bliss
had a Young sister, with whom Mr.
Vaughn Immediately fell in love,
and as his application for the posi-
ton of brother-in-law was of much
more consequence than his former
one for clerkship his past record
was carefully searched, and it was
found that he had met with a dis
astrous failure in business some
wears previous and consequently
was bankrupt, with many liabil-
tiles and unpaid debts. He was told
that he could never be accepted as
a suitor for the young lady's hand
until everything he owed had been
paid in full. He seemed discour-
aged at this decision and expressed
the opinion that the task was i'm
possible, but in a short time he re-
turned to his ladylove's family with
the happy intelligence that he had
fallen heir to a large property and
could more than liquidate all his
debts. He showed a number of
banknotes in proof of his assertion
and actually gave Miss Bliss five
new twenty pound notes.
About this time the authorities
at the Bank of England were much
troubled by the appearance of a
few forged notes. With little diff
Guilty detectives traced them to
Richard Vaughn. He admitted his
guilt. 1t was attempted at his trial
to prove he had not meant to put
them in circulation, but only to win
a wife with them. This defense,
however, was useless, as he had
passed them. He was found guilty
of the crime Of forgery, which in
those days was a capital ofense,
and he pad the penalty Of his mis-
deeds on the scaffold. History does
not state what became of the girl
who was the innocent temptation.
Vaughn has the doubtful honor
of having led the way, in banknote
forgery. At that time an imitation
was a much easier matter than it is
at present, the note itself being
only partly engraved, the amount,
the name of the payee and the sig
nature Of the cashier being supplied
in writing.
