According to Montell the alleged
forgery was merely the making OF a
duplicate OF an original contract which
he says was signed By Mr.. Crump. The
idea Of making the duplicate was to
furnish working papers for solicitors
in order to show the patrons OF the
exhibition. 1t Ii said the DUPLICATES
were written on typewriter, but
signed with pen. Friends of Montell
think he did not realize that he was
forging Mr.. Crump's name, as he is
said to have had the original IN his
possession. This original. II is said.
would not have been affected by any
number of duplicates. no matter IL they
had been signed by Crump himself.

PRISONER TELLS COURT
WORLD IS AGAINST HIM
woodward, of Many Escapades, weeps
when Sentenced to Year and
Day by Judge waddfiI.

Frank Fl. Woodward. who escaped
from the Henrico Jail over a year ago
and who was later arrested in Port
land, Oregon, charged with misrepre
senting himself in soliciting funds. was
yesterday taken to the penitentiary at
Moundsville. w. Va, to serve term
of year and day for violation OF
the laws of the United States In rep
resenting himself as an officer of the
government here, when he solicited
prison funds prior to his arrest here
In 1914.
Much has been written of Wood
ward; his efford to secure money under
false pretence; his escape from the
Henrico Jail by saving his way
through; the fact that he has but
authorities that he was wanted here
in order to save his mother and
brothers from trouble In that city,
where the three were under arrest.
Altogether the man presented rather
pttifu1 spectacle when he appeared In
