Luke s, May, handwriting expert,
who reported some OF the bonds, at
least, were forgeries.
"Of how long standing is the prac.
tico OF the surety company agents
supplying attorneys with blank
bonds, regularly signcd7" Colvin
was asked.
ut appears 20 be OF rather long
standing" he replied. II believe
that development serves to clear up
the fact that all of nearly n hun.

It is pointed out that IL tho al
bonds under investigation were ad-
mittodly properly signed by an
agent OF the company, and the
company failed TO get the fees, om-
bezzlement charges might follow,
and attorneys known to have had
blank bonds in readiness for such
