/ forged signatures and signatures
which were placed on the petition
after thee affidavit verifying it was
made"
1T is suggested that no person in
terested in the petition would have
u motive for altering it and thereby
rendering it invalid, hence the alter
ations must have been made after
it was filed. This conclusion might
be warranted were it not for the fact
that the alterations are not confined
to the dates of the signatures alone
but also extend to the insertion of
false residences of the signers. All
the alterations appear to have been
made with the same ink. Its
integrity at the time it was filed has
not been sustained.
The part which purports to be
signed by qualified electors of
Schuylllill county is admitted to be
invalid because it also contains
forged signatures.
From what we have said it is
obvious that it is unnecessary to pass
upon the motions to amend the OBJ
iections and the nomination petit
ton
Leave to amend the nominating
petition of Morris Einstein, Pitts
burgh, says the court can be met by
amendment and three days are given.

and the cour. strikes down the Berks
county petition because of defects
and says that the Schuylllill county
petition contains forged signatures.
The court then declares that the pc
titiOn is invalid and directs the pro-
lhonotary TO certify the facts to the
Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Errors in Petition
The opinion discusses the allega-
tions that some parts of the Berks
county petition were altered by some
one hostile to it after being filed at
the Capitol. "One of the witnesses
testified that the alterations did not
appear on the petition when he eX-
amined i. shortly before it was de
livered to the Deputy Secretary of
the Commonwealth, but how per-
functorily he examined it appears
from the fact that he failed to OBJ
serve that a large number of the
signatures from Schuylkill county
We're plainly in the same handwrit-
ing: and they are now admitted to
he spurious" says the court, which
also reviews testimony of men who
handled the paper and then says:
Neither the person who had it in his
possession some minutes Immediate
lN before it was delivered to the
Deputy Secretary, nor the person
who was instrumental in securing
signers to it was called as a witness.
The failure to present these wit
nesses in it's behalf is not without
significance in view of the fact that
the petition contains a number of
