GET SIGNATURES BY TRICK
English Law officials Employ Regis

Great difficulty has often been ex-
perienced by detectives, lawyers
clerks and others In obtaining an I'M
doubted specimen of a persons sigma
ture. In one case recourse had to be
made to a marriage register; in an
other the only signature pr%ocurable
was on the fiy-leaf Of a book which the
suspect had presented to a relative,
and only two or three years ago a tes-
timonial to a sea captain was brought
into court, because among the sigma
lures to it wag one for which the po-
lice had hunted in vain.
One of the most common resources
for overcoming this difficulty is en-
ploying the "twOpenny detective'-

the person whose signature is wanted.
This is frequently successful. Think
