III HOT CASE
CITY ATTORNEY TESTIFIES
THAT SIGNATURE IS COPIED
Says That the Xauie at the End of the
So-called "First" Young Will has
Been Forged by Tracing Demon
strates His Theory' In Court In
sists that It is Reproduced From
the Original Signature Experts on
the Witness Stand.
Experts from a distance are not the
only ones who can spring sensation
al testimony. This was evidenced
this morning when City Attorney J.
Roy Raley was placed on the stand in
the Warner-Young will contest. Raley
corroborated to a certain extent the
testimony of E. H. Thompson, the
Spokane hand-writing expert, who de
clared yesterday that the signature of
James W. Young to the so-called
"first" will, is a forgery. Thompson,
however, declared the signature had
been forged by tracing, while Raley
Insisted that it had been reproduced
from an original genuine signature by
means of a copy press.
Examining the document he first
declared that it showed evidence of
having been held in a copy press. He
then said it was possible for an or
iginal signature to be transferred on
t) an entirely different sheet of pa
per by taking a copy of the original
signature on the thin sheet of paper
contained In a copy press book and
while it was yet wet, applying it to
the paper on which It was desired to
have It reproduced. His therj was

that this dim signature was then
traced over with ink to make It cor
respond with the other ink used on
the document. After making his
explanation Raley made a demonstra
tion In court to prove his theory.
F. J. Toland, the much heralded
hand-writing expert, who participat
ed In the famous Puter land fraud
trials in Portland, proved to be some
what of a disappointment. This was
' due largely to the fact that the ex
pert who had preceeded him, had ta
ken all the wind out of his sales.
He was only on the stand a short time
and was not cross-examined at all.
Demonstrates His Theory.
He corroborated the testimony of
Thompson in so far as the four let
ters written In pencil were concerned.
These were the ones alleged to have
been written by Young to show his
friendly feeling toward all of his heirs
with the exception of Mabel Warner.
Both Thompson and Touland pro
nounced these forgeries. Toland also
said the signature of Young to the
"first" will was a forgery, thereby
corroborating the testimony of
Thompson and Raley. He did not
testify however regarding the signa
tures of the "fourth" will, which is
now at issue, nor to the sensational
l letter of denunciation supposed to
have been written by Young to Mrs
Fred Young and denied by her, nor
the memorandum of contract which
Mrs. Warner claims proves conclu
sively that the uncle intended to leave
her all his property.
Before leaving the stand yesterday
afternoon, however, Thompson de
clared these signatures were all gen
uine. He scouted the theory' of Prof.
W. W. Williams and Prof. M. A. Al-
bln of Portland that the signatures
were all too nearly exactly alike to
ever have been written by one man
Thompson said the measurements
made by Williams and Albin were not
to be relied upon at all and proceeded
t'i make measurements of the original
signature In court, which showed
there were slight differences in the
signatures and he declared the dif
ferences were as great as were to be
found uniformly in the writings of
J. W. Young.
Expert is Cross Examined.
Attorneys Fee and Phelps harrassed
Thompson considerably during the
course of the direct examination but
thev did not cross-examine the wit
ness. Thompson says the attorneys
were afraid to cross-examine him
while Fee and Phelps say he did not
give testimony of sufficient Import
ance to make it worth while to cross
examine him.
These attorneys also declare that
while this "first" will Is not at Issue
in this case and can have no bearing
whatever upon the question as to
whether or not the "fourth" will Is a
forgery, they will prove conclusively
that the signature of J. W. Young on
the document has been tampered with
since It was offered in evidence. Wit
nesses will be placed on the stand to
swear that the signature was thor
oughly examined a short time ago
and that at that time, it did not con
tain the blur which Is so evident now
that there were no marks In blue ink
and that instead of being a bright
dark color as at present that the slg
nature at that time was light and
faded In color, as are the other signa
tures on the document. It will thus
be seen that some Interesting features
in this sensational case are yet to be
hi ought out.

Nearly 10OO Anglers.
A total of 839 fishing lisenses have
been taken out in this county during
the season so far and there is every
indication that the thousand mark
will be reached before the close of
the summer. It Is doubtful if any
other county in the state will exceed
this record. The phenomenal fishing
season has been responsible to a
great extent for the large number of
licenses taken out.

WOMAN GOES INSANE
WHEN PET KITTEN DIES

Gralter, who has been a voluntary
prisoner In the Yorkvllle police court
prison for five years, Is Insane in
Bellevue hospital. When she first
asked to be committed to the prison
she adopted a little kitten which be
came her sole companion there. The
cat died recently and the woman
grieved over the matter until she lost
her mind, the doctors say, perman
ently. There has always been much mys
tery about the woman. Of apparent
refinement and superior education, It
was believed that she had sought the
prison as a hiding place from the
world, but why she did so, she would
never reveal. She was first com
mitted for six months on her own re
quest as a vagrant. At the expiration
of each term she was recommitted. .

never carry arms In Greenland and
never return to the United States. The
Club fears he might attempt to kill
Peary, against whom he is very bitter
because he says he received a "frost"
when he came to this country. De
spite this, he announced' the intention
of planting the flag on the north
pole.
