Signature Experts, Intereating
Pacts for Business Men.
S. S: Packard, noted as a skillfu1.
penrna,n, writes to the New York
.4i./ concerning "signature experts,"
the occasion being the late "Taylor
will case," which turned- in a great
measure on the genuiness of the
testator's signature
More than twenty years age, in
Cincinnati, I copied the Deelaration
of Independence, appending fac
similes of the signers' names. Mr.
Thonfas Stevens, at that time editor
of(the Cincinnati Atlas, -took occa-
sion in a pleasant way to doubt .my
ass'ertion that I bad •copied the
signatures with a pen. To corrvinee
hitn I asked him to sign his name
'on a sheet of paper, WhiCh he did.
I immediately wrote ten copies of
his signature, above and below, the
original, and- handed him the Taper
for him to select his own. Aft& a
careful examination he selected one
as his own. He was wrong. Re
• tried again and again, -witli the
same result, and finally by mere
guess work. he hit the right one.
And it was a remarkable fact that
after he had really discovered his
own, he could see the most astonish-
ing absurdities in all the others.
Some six years ago I was speaking
with a well known publisher of this
city, who sat at his desk signing
some checks that. the bookeeper had
prepared for him. _ The signature
was of. the firm, and was a peculiar
one, as he wrote it1 casually re-
marked that it was an de ant si -
g gna
ture for a forger. He promptly re-
plied that there was no forger Could
sign that name so as to deceive
" Oh, yes, there is," said I.
" Whme is her
"He is standing at your elbow."
"Do you mean to say," said he,
"that you can imitate that signature
so I cannot detect the forgery I"
"I mean to say," said 1, "that I
can do it,. and am willing to try it
If you will write that:•sig-
nature," he replied, " so that I can-
not distinguish it froth my, own, I
wilI"--
"There, there, don't be rash ; I
should dislike to take advantage of
your present excitement. If you
will just write the signature at the
top of that letter sheet, we'll see
what a little impudence can do.'!
9 He did as requested. I took the
sheet and went to the bookeeper's
• desk. Here I exchanged it for an-
• . other of the saMe kind, and in the
• sa e relative position I imitated the
signature in a very free careless
wa not attempting a servile copy,
• bu• preserving the characteristic
strokes. I then. very carefully wrote
underneath. it three faithful signa-
- tures, all my OWD. These I took to
the proprietor and told him to select
his• own signature. With 'surpris-
ingly little effort he pointed out the
first signature, and at on ce began: to
criticise with• severity my base imita-
tions,
"Well," said I, "1 -will confess
Oey are not as well lone as I ex-
pected to do them, -or as I eould do
them if my nerves were steady. But
really," said I, don't you think that
if one of these signatures were
placed at the bottom of your ord in afy
• check your bank would honor the
elieck-g"
"Well, no," said he, "I don't,
thin -k it would."
"I -suppose," said I, " there is DO
doubt about the top signature -that
would bring the cash I"
" Oh, yes, I should like to see our
bank refuse that signature for an or-
dinary sum."
-1 then went to the bdokeeper's
desk and produced the original sig-
na,tere.
"How' about this?" said I.
He looked at the signature -then
at my t' base imitations" -then at
the crowd of interested spectators
who had quietly gathered around
tend who were beginning to take in
• the richness of the, joke and nally
burst out Man eitression avAlich
.t
. vas a mixture- of, astomshinent,
• chargin, merrimentvexation and
perplexity, mad lioiding out his
hand with unconditional surrender
-written all over lus face, he ex-
claimed " Sold .1 -
That was the only Word in. the
American lang,uwre that could ade.
eauately express the situation.
•But the sell- -was a very easy ore
"Yes" said he, "they are pretty
fair imitations, but. don't you see t4e
length of this g and the turn of this
n. -Now, look at the original,- and
see where this capital J sweeps
around. There is an attempt at it
in. the imitations; but it is a very
weak one:" •
"Then you.- couldn't be imposed
upon by one of these lower signa-
tures ?" said I.
i "No, not I: They bear forgery
• upon their very face."
"'Well, ho'- about the first one-?
No mistake about that? Yon would
readily cash.a check with that signa-
ture?"
"Qh yes, that is all right. Any-
body who ever saw the deacon's
'sign manual could tell it a glace"
1 So the deacon diVided up his
chagrin with the junior partner, and
felt better or worse, l'ie forgotten
which.
1 The fact is, DO man is safe in
swearing to his signature -not even
Horace Greeley to his own -for no
maga writes a signature- twice alike,
although he may preserve the char-
acterimics. And I would give very
little for the testimony of "experts,"
nless backed by strong collateral
vidence. It would not be difficult,
ordinarily, to identify; a body of
writing, such aslia page or even a,
dozen lineso but to decide as to the
,
genuineness of a single word or sig-
ature is more than I should like
o do if eithei life. or happinese de -
ended tipon it.
