MYSTERIOUS $100,060 NOTE
First National bank Receives It for
Collection.
JUDGE HANDLEY'S SIGNATURE
. T .
Note Sent from Now York by a Man
Named Dawson Is Made Payable to
II. S. Plereo, at One Tims a Scran
ton Banker, Now Dead.
Wednesday's mall from New York
city brought to Cashier J. A. Linen, of
the First National bank on LackuwuJi
na avenue, a letter from a man named
Dawson, enclosing- a note of $100,000,
purported to have been signed by tho
late ex-Judge John Hundley, In Sep
tember, 1S85, and made payable In ten
years. Cashier Linen was Instructed
to collect the note and yesterday after
noon he handed the paper to Attorney
Lemuel Amermnn, John T. Richards
and ex-Attorney General Palmer, of
Wllkee-Harre. executors of the estate.
They pronounced It a forgery.
The note wan drawn on an ordinary
sheet of writing paper and Is a common
promissory agreement to pay the face
value of It at the end of ten. yeurs.
It Is made payable to H. S. Pierce1 and
endorsed with what Mr. Amentum us
serts Is the forged signature of Mr.
Pierce, who Is dead. The document Is
written In a clever Imitation of the late
Judge Handley's handwriting.
An Kiocutor Interviewed.
A Tribune reporter Interviewed At
torney Amermart last night. Mr.
Amerman did not assume a mysterious
utr In discussing the affair, but related
all the facts with perfect freedom. He
said It Is such a palpable forgery that
the executors have not the least notion
of paying It or even treating It with
serious consideration. The body of the
note is cleverly designed and ap
proaches to a falrly-good imitation of
Judge Handley's style of writing,
which was a very peculiar one, as all
who have seen samples of It know.
The signature Is far from the mark
and Is nothing moiv than a clumsy at
tempt at forgery. On the back of the
note, where It Is presumed H. S. Pierce
endorsed it, the signature Is not more
apt to deceive than that of the maker
of the note.
H. S. Pierce was a prominent capi
talist of Scranton years ago and was
the sum and substance of a banking In
stitution that did business on Wyoming
avenue, in the building where the of
fices of the Scranton Gas and Water
company now are.
Mr. Pierce lived on Washington ave
nue and was well known as a man of
business. Several years ago the bank
became insolvent and went Into the
hands of a receiver. After that Mr.
Pierce retired from active business pur
suits and led a quiet life until his death
a few years ago. He left an estate that
was reputed to be worth a few million
dollars. The name of the Institution
was the Scranton Trust Company and
Savings bank.
By those who know, the statement is
made that between Judge Handley and
Mr. Pierce there had never been any
business dealings, and such knowledge
would naturally suggest to the exe
cutors that the note had something sus
picious about It.
Mr. Amerman said there Is not a
single record of ithe note among the
papers and documents of the estate.
Judge Handley had an exact and sys
tematic method of arranging his papers,
so that every document that he re
ceived had been filed away for refer
ence, and instead of being a promis-
sary note drawn up on common paper,
it would. If genuine, have been made
out on regular bank paper and would
not be non-interest bearing. Judge
Handley, in Mr. Amerman's opinion
was too shrewd a business man to loan
such a sum as $100,000 for ten years
without Interest.
Cashier Linen, of the First National
bank, pronounced the note a forgery
as soon as he received It. The exe
outers are waiting for the person who
sent on the note ito appear to substan
tiate the alleged genuineness of it.
"DEAD LINE 61AXG" AGAIX.
It Robbed Once Too Often and Gets In
1 Trouble.
Another coterie of the famous "Dead
Line Gang" of Ilellevue has been ar
rested. They had stolen over 200 pounds
of brass and a quantity of lead pipe
from the yards of the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company.
George Okell, the company's detective
susplcloned the gang and frightened
"Hum" Oerrlty Into squeellng on four
of his pals, "Jack" Richards, aged 18;
"Mike" Cog-gins, aged 17; "Mike" Uy
land, aged 19; "Jack" Brown, aged 17.
Richards was the only one who would
tell where the plunder was hidden. It
was found under a barn at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Emmet street.
At 3 o'clock yesterday morning the
four young thieves were surprised
while asleep In a railroad shanty
on Emmet street near the tracks. They
were arrested by Patrolmen Walsh and
J. V. Thomas and two special officers.
CJerrlty was released. In yesterday's
police court Richards was furnished
ball, but Coggins, the leader of the sex
tette, was committed to jail in de
fault of $500 ball, and Hyland and
Hrown. were committed In default of
$100 ball each.
Hyland was, also held on a charge of
highway' robbery which he committed
several months ago on Scranton street.

WAS HE MURDERED ?
Decomposed Corpse of an I'nknown Man
Found In a Culvert at Dickson City.
Boys who were playing near the
breaker of the Jermyn Coal company,
at Dickson City, discovered yesterday
morning In a small culvert the body of
a man In an advanced stage of decom
position. It is supposed that the body
had been washed down the creek by the
high waters of the past few days.
Coroner Kelley was notified and
viewed the body. On the throat the
flesh had decomposed to a greater ex
tent than on any other part of the head
or neck. The coroner considers this an
evidence of foul play; for it would seem
to Indicate that the man had been
choked to death, as It Is an anatomical
fact that tissue that has been brulBed
will be the first to be attacked by the
process of putrefaction.
A Jury was empaneled and sworn.
The coroner ordered Undertaker Jones,
of Olyphant, to take charge of the body,
and an autopsy will be performed to
day. The clothes the man wore would
not denote that he had been a working
man, but there was no scrap of paper
nor any article found In the pockets to
furnish any clue to his Identity. Of all
the numerous persons who collected at
the spot yesterday and saw the remains,
not one recognized the bloated features.

AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.
Pleasing Entertainment Given In the

An entertainment was given in the
Methodist church at Montdale Friday
evening, April 6, under the auspices

aleaux. Among those who recited were
MIbscs Harriet Tyler, .Maud Oakley,
Blanche Smith, Ella Wheeler, Mame
Morrison, Ada Morrison and Bessie
Hartwell, and Messrs. Herbert Bought,
Robert Bulst and Jumes Wilson. ,
Miss Oakley's recitation, a selection
from Murk Twain, wus extremely
humorous, und showed her talent us an
Impersonator. Blanche Smith recited
"The Parson's Fee," which all enjuyed;
Ella Wheeler rendered "Tho School
master's auests," und Mame Morrison
recited "Brier Rose" in a very touching
manner. Some of the declamations
bore upon the subject of temperance,
among whlclrwus "Why Karl Votes for

Well," by Mrs. R. W. Lowry und Mrs.
Knima ' Lewis; a lullaby song, "Ilylo
Land," by Lizzie Mltfun, and some

was a financial success, and speaks well
for the Interest of the people of Scott
In such matters.
