The subject is of such broad and ; \ genaral interest us to -warrant the repro-; j duction of the article in these columns: ! ^ "This is a subject ti*i:t has been grow-1 ing greatly in importance ^ lug the j' past few years?that is tho legal invest:- \ } gation of questions arising from hand-; writing in our courts of justice.

Many of the jurists of our clay ] esteem it highly, and many not quite so 1 highly. The question really comes to i he?is there any such a thing as scientific and satisfactory investigation of the ; various phases under v.hich handwrit:"., " appears in our courts. We ail knov j; forgeries are very numerous?that i : scarcely a week passes in this city that i mere are not tneu causes iuvujahjs ?u. i some manner the genuiness of hand-1 writing. Most of those present are j familiar with the methods resorted to by forgers in producing their work. The great majority of forgeries are not by persons who" are skilled in the art of ; penmanship; many of them are of so I imperfect a character that a good judge j would wonder that there had been any j question raised respecting it. I have ; been called to investigate forgeries; where there was scarcely a semblance to j the genuine writing sought to be imi tated. others where there would be a J general outline, but the character of the work would at once stamp it as spurious. The great proportion of the forgeries of signatures arc perpetrated by means oi j tracing?the parties making an outline I with a pencil and then writing it in with j ink?forgeries of that class are very j easily detected when carefully exr mined j with a good glass, and especially with a 1 good microscope. Another class, and I the most dangerous, arc prepared by j skillful writers taking a signature and j practicing npon it, as upon a copy, until ! it can be reproduced by the forger with a tolerable degree of accuracy, sometimes to an astonishing degree. I have seen such signatures where it was impossible to determine with any degree of certainty whether the signatures was spurious or genuine. Forgeries executed by the tracing process are invariably j demonstrated to be such, I believe, because no man can at the first foil owing of a tracing make a signature winch will deceive a |)erson who is familiar with the | genuine?the shades wili be different, i and the strength of the lines will be j different, and where there are short-! comings in this respect they have to be : covered by retracing. These will appear j under the glass in over-lapping layers of ink. This will also be true of forged signatures that are traced by holding them to the light, as to a pane of glass or to a light, but there is also a different i i i.-a- j. I movement, ana iieiice aiueruiii; uuuntv | of line?there is tliat in the "writing which shows'it is not written with the ordinary and natural motion of the hand. There "will aiso be a nervous tremoj', antl the slower the hand is I moved the more apparent will this be. j If one signature is placed over another i and found to cover it hi every respect, it ! is inevitably the case that one is a forge- j ry. ilost forgeries are unskilfully exe- ; cuted by a professional, or by one who might be called a pen artist, ii'any are j made by clerks who get an idea that they can reproduce their employer's signature; they have had verv good opporta* * - ?"?xi.r luties to get acquainted willl uiw genu- j iiie, jot rarqy fail to be detected. One of tiie most frequent phases in Y/hieh tliese investigations arise is in disguised handwriting in the form of i abusive, black-mailing, threatening or 1 obscene letters. Persons unfamiliar vrith. i this matter can scarcely realize the ex- i tent to Tvhich this spccies of crime is j carried. I venture to say that during i the past year there has not been one week in -which packages of anonymous i letters have not been brought to my ! i ?* LI?A.'? ' omce xor uiYestiguiiiuii. ui wuc.m. ( axe of the very worst character-many j threatening tile lives of people, mam . abusing parties, and many growing out j of the strikes. Only recently letters i have come from the proprietors or man sgers of a railroad who have been threatened with death by supposed employees. All manner of means are resorted to by writers to conceal their identify?sometimes the letters are even hand printed. Sometimes they are so skillfully executed that no trace of the identity of the writer is left. These cases, however, are rare, for very few persons can write to the ex- 1 tent of'a page of any sheet and impart j ?o it some of then- own characteristics. The worst of ail hand-writing to inves- ; tigate wold would be that of a school boy , vho had no characteristics to his hand- 1 writing?who has not practised under j circumstances wliicli imparted any iudi- : viduality?or personality to his writing. If two teachers of writing should write j a letter and bring it up absolutely, uc- i cording to principle, to the standard ox any system, there could be no com pari son as to the 2->ersonal characteristics of i. the writers. As we go into business. !; however, wo depart from the standard j j forms of the school-room, and each of j these departures constitutes the peculiar j. personality of the writer.
