DENIES CHARACTER
SHOWN BY WRITING

Theory on Handwriting.
Was Foremost of Experts.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 16.--With the
passing, at the age of 76. of David
Nunes Carvalho America has lost its
foremost expert on handwriting and
the secrets which it divulges. The
years of study which Mr.. Carvalho
gave to his subject yielded one firm
unshakable opinion which runs coun-
ter to the theories of many lesser pro-
ponents of the art
II do not believe in the popular
theory that character can be read
from handwriting" asserted Mr.. Car
Nalho in an article written for the
World as far back as 1895. And to
prove 1t, 1t seems to me all that is
necessary is to read the character of
few Of our public men by exactly
the set of rules used by those who
claim to be masters of the art.
Cites CleveIand's Writing.
For instance, were you to read the
character of Mr.. Cleveland, some
thing like this would be the decision
you would arrive at: He writes a
rather petite, neat, almost feminine
hand. which clearly betokens a man
small in size, Grabbed in disposition
and Captious, one unused to writing 8
and possessing no lofty statesman
ship"
1t was hardly necessary for Mr..
tarvalho to point out how ludicrous
such a statement was. Also" con-
tinues Mr.. Carvalho, "an examination
of the handwriting of many criminals
now serving the state for one cause
or another would show them to be
blessed with strong, lofty characters,
open, frank and generous.
That there can be no positive in
deX to-the character of man from
his handwriting would seem to be
clearly demonstrated by the fact that
one rarely meets a handwriting that
Is always uniform, that maintains the
same size and average regularity.
My handwriting is always changing
Is a remark that almost every man
will drop at some period of his life.
Some will even so so far as to
manifest this change in the writing of
a single page or letter. This is due to
the fact that every stroke depends for
its character upon the position and
mood of the person writing. The
slightest motion of the foot is suffi-
cient to change the formation of a
letter,

Changes Are Frequent.

Changes are made instantly and
often unconsciouSly. but the careful
student of chirography is able to de
tect them. The forger affords another
refutation of the theory that writing
reveals the character. Not only does
the forger generally possess a free,
open hand denoting admirable quail
ties, but he is also able to adapt him.
self to the peculiarities of almost any
writing"
Mr.. Carvalho was employed count
less times by lawyers, prosecuting at
torneyS and newspapers to give his
testimony in cases involving hand
writing. He was responsible for thou
sands Of convictions, directly or in
directly, for forgery. Some of the IA
nous cases at which he gave testi-
mony were the Thaw case, the Still
man trials, the DR.. wilkins case in
1919, the theft of securities from the
Chase National Bank in 1922 and the
long dispute over the will of James
King in 1917 and the murder of his
widow, in which Castor B. Means
figured prominently.
Mr.. Carvalho was also the owner of
what was said to be one of the finest
private collections of manuscripts in
this country, was one of the worlds
greatest experts on writing and writ
ing materials, both ancient and mod
ern, and was the author of Forty
Years of Ink" published in 1904, in
which he embodied the results of
many of his historical researches and
discoveries. His chief work was the
life long study of disputed modern
documents and most of his leisure
was spent in collecting and studying
ancient manuscripts. One of the most
important departments of his profess
sion was that of detecting erasures
and changes and bringing to light
writing that had been effected
Studied Typewriting.
Not the least interesting of his ac-
complishments was his ability to de-
tect differences in specimens produced
by various typewriters. After pen
manship became less common in
everyday life, Mr.. Carvalho extended
his study to include typed manu-
scripts, with the result that he could
distinguish minute variations in print.
