FORGER'S LETTER TO JUDGE
PROVES HIS OWN UND0lNG.
Handwriting ConvinteS Court OF
Guilt ami He Gets Long Instead
of Short Term.

william G. Cunningham. a portly. red
faced gambler. made a big mistake when
he wrote from his cell in the Tombs to
Judge Rosalsky of General Sessions pro
testing against his conviction Tor
forgery. He had been charged with op-
tanning an american Express COMPANY
check pad and forging checks, which ne
"a shed along Broadway.
Before Judge Rosalsky got Cunning
hams letter he rad been puzzled BY
some o, tho evidence. Thfre were no
good standards of the prisoners hand
writing In evidence. He would prob
ably have escaped with a light sentence.
But when the Court had compared the
letter In which the prisoner bitterly
complained OF his lawyers conduct OF
tho case, with the writing on the
checks ne was convinced OF Cunning
hams guilt.
In tones OF gentle irony the Judge
thanked Cunningham for his letter and
then sentenced him to not less than tive
years and three months or more thar

labor In Sing Sing.
