Wu's, but it also looked like mine.
It did not, however, look like
my regular handwriting, but looked
like the handwriting had given
to Kang Ii on the train.
When the Governments hand
writing expert made up a "com-
posite" STUB to look like the check
book stub. he did not take diff
ferent letters from my regulAr
handwriting, but took every letter
but one from this notebook specl-
men / had written on the train
for Kang Ii when the train was
in motion.
Therefore the Governments ex-
pert developed a great point for
the defense-the theory that kang
Ii had the checkbook in his pos
session. that he knew what ne
was doing when he insisted upon
getting my handwriting on the
train. and that the check-stub was
written after this occurrence ND
the check-book placed so that the
police could find it where they
did on Sunday afternoon. Ger
tainly this would be called CIR
cumstantial evid en- &c" against
Kang Ii.
Fantastic Signature
Suppose I had really forged the
$4,000 check that Van took to the
bank-when I was in the custody
az detectives would l freely give
nv signature three times without
irving to evade it? Or without
any attempt to disguise 1t otEer
2 than the heavy strokes made De-
cause of train motion?
If 1 could write DIR. T. T. Wongs
signature, (which was so peculiar
the experts termed it fantastic D,
on both the check and the accom-
panying letter so well as to fool
five bank officials after a forty
minute direct consideration and
two days Of after-thought would
/ not make the check-stub to
look the same?
Why would l make the check
stub to look like my own hand
writing If / could so cleverly forge
DIR. Wong's own name? And why
would / or any one fill out the
stub of a forged check under any
consideration?
Would not a person committing
forgery tear out a check from
the back of book or from the
middle where 1t would not be
noticed until the last possible
moment?
Furthermore, the police found
living on q desk upstairs in the
mission, zone hundred or more"
good checks properly signed by
DIR. T T. Wong and Mr.. Hsie.
ready to be sent out to the Gov
eminent students. Officer Brad
shaw, a Government witness, testi-
fled to this in the third trial,
but no mention of it was ever made
before and all the other officers
now have hopelessIy short mem
cries concerning these checks.
But they were there, and any
forger could have taken one or all
Of them and raised them. with
little or no fear of detection be-
cause Of their absolutely genuine
signatures.
Covered Up
This is one of the big pieces
Of evidence that would have exon
Grated me, but which the Gov.
eminent covered UP. They also
claim robbery as the motive for
this terrible crime. Yet Il kn1w
there was safe In the mission
house to which DIR. Wong carried
the key. Large sums of money
and securities We're always in this
safe. While visiting there I saw
DR.. Wong AMI Mr.. WI checking
securities and counting currency.
did not know the exact amount
but later heard Major Pullman
and Inspector Grant say it was
between $4,000 and $40, 900.
This was the biggest piece of evil
dence hidden by the authorities. No
mention OF the safe was made until
the third trial, and then none Of the
officers except one could remember
anything about it, although it was
on the main floor about four feet
rom where DR.. Wong's body lay,
and so near the telephone that one
would almost have to lean against
TIE safe to telephone.
The fingerprint expert for the DO
lice department acknowledged tho
safe being there, but said he did not
examine 1t for fingerprints or open
II. yet robbery was the alleged mo-
tive for this crime. No photograph
that was put in evidence by the
Government showed tbs safe, and
the one photograph which they had
to take and which should have shown
1t. had big chair pulled in front
OF 1t and a big light blur on tie
picture so that no safe could be seen.
Yet on the premises today the
marks are still on the wall and on
tIle floor showing the safe to be 81
inches high, with a 22x22-incT base.
The disposal of this safe and its
contents are shrOuded in a mystery
as great as the mystery surround
ing the murder. And the silence Of
the police department. is like silence
Of grave.
Evidence Missing
Another still more important piece
CT evidence which would have exon
Grated me was that of the eye
glasses. There were pair of eye
glasses found with bloody hand
kerchief at the foot of the stairs
leading down to the Kitchen. The
rolice always referred to these as
DR.. Wong's glasses, but though the
