RUSSELL TESTIMONY
IS STILL INTERESTING

Charles M. Perkins. q 'postofice In
spector Of the Boston division, took
the stand for the respondents in the
Russell hearing at East Cambridge
recently and gave his opinion as an
expert on the legitimacy of the stamps
on the disputed Rousseau letters. He
testified that in his opinion all of the
cancellation stamps which Dr.. Hamil-
ton, Professor Gill and other experts
for the claimant have declared rank
forgeries. are genuine government
stamps.
Perkins admitted in his cross-ex-
animation by Attorney Leslie A. Simp-
son that his examination of the exhibits
had been of a very cursory character.
In fact, he had passed upon the gen
uineness of most of the cancellation
stamps after an inspection of a few
minutes or less with a hand microscope
or the naked eye. The experts for the
claimant made their assertions in"reGard
to the stamps only after the most search
ing examination covering days. in
which high.powered microscopes OF
several sorts were used. Perkins adj
mitted that he wear a glass eye and
also glasses to correct the vision of the
remaining eye.
One letter bears the cancellation
stamps of both the Medora and Sand
Creek. N. D.. p~ostofice of the same
date and hour. The witness stated that
the two stamp were genuine. He
admitted that it was news to him that
the two postofices are a twelve hours
ride apart in the Bad Lands. This
statement did no affect his judgment
though. He thouaht there must have
been some mistake about the dates.
On January q Detective Herbert
Walker took the. witness stand for his
third day OF testimony in the Russell
case. He was under eross-examination
by Attorney Simpson when court
opened.
1t is expected that Attorney Proctor,
for William c. Russell. will today pro-
duce a picture of James Russian, Sc
cured by the detective in New York.
This picture Attorney Simpson yesterday
dared Attorney Proctor to produce.
Today is the sixty-seventh day of
the hearing. More than 1000. 900
words of testimony have been taken
at a cost of nearly $40. 000. There
are 237 exhibits in the case as evil
dence. Contrary to the general i'm
preston, even il the claimant should
win his case he may not receive one
half of the Daniel Russell fortune
Counsel for the estate holds that under
the will William Russell is sole owner
of the property and alone has the legal
right Of denying or recognizing his
brother. Walker testified today he had
shown the picture of the claimant to
so many people that at n time he
could not close his eyes without seeing
the picture. 1t came to him again in
dreams.
':Do you see it now? asked Attorney
Simpson, with interest.
mo, returned Walker, but I have a
great deal of pity for him though"
Really" asked Attorney Simpson.
that's an odd state of mind for q
detectiv We isn't it.
Walkers reply was inaudible.
A rumor that William C. Russell,
the Melrose recluse. has been married
to his ~housekeeper. Miss Sarah C.
Almy, met with a vigorous denial on
all sides this morning. Miss Almy
is tie sister of ferdinand B. Almy.
