A TALK WITH AN EXPERT—WHAT THE INSTRU- MENT WILL REVEAL IN CASES OF FORGERIES SOME INTERESTING CASES—IDENTIFYING BLOOD ON A MURDERER'S GARMENTS. A Stax reporter was sitting In Dr. E. M. Schaeffer's office the other evening talking with him of the mysteries ot the micro- scope. Dr. Schaeffer is culled in as an expert microscopist in s great many cases in the courts. “This little instrument is a very valuable witness sometimes,” he said, as he put a slide upon the microscope and ad- dressed himselt to the seribe. “It is exceedingly inquisitive and uncovers a great many myste- ties, not only of inanimate nature, but of men. As ite master, lam informed of many curious thinga. A great many domestic tragedies, which it would not do to mention, have come under, my notice through it, Those in that case— and be walked over to alittle glass-front cabinet on the wall. “That contains parts of many well-known and some distinguished men, some of whom are now living and some others of whom are dead. Some very interesting and curious incidents of a domestic character are bronght to my attention by folks who come to have microscopic analyses made. Not very long ago the result of one of these analyses came near leading to a tragedy. The principal things an expert microscopist {fs called for in the courts isto testity as to blood oncloth- ing or something of thatsort in a murder trial or as to writing In cases of fo T can tell instantly whether a stain is blood or not, no matter how dim and indistinct it is, and this is often most important in the detection of crime.” - “Can you distinguish animal blood from ter. bomaut?” asked the rey “I have frequently heard of expert witnesses boo that certain stains were made by buman bi i think they are wrong to as- some to so much knowledgt. The little corpus cles of @ sheep's or a dog's blood are us a rule smaller than those of a man’s, but it bas been discovered by careful study that the largest of the sheep or other animals and the smaliest of the man may be the same size. ‘This of course does away with all certainty of distinction. A. bird's blood muy be distinguished from human, because ita corpuscles are of a ‘lifferent shay But this does not lessen the importance of dis- covering blood stains on a murderer's clothing. The circumstances and other evidence will do the rest,” “Some of the most interesting cages,” he con- tinued, “are those of hand writing. I hare made a very thorough study of this under the microscope, both as to individuality of form, and aa to various sorts of ink, and the effect of time and condition upon them. I can very readily discover forgeries, interlineations or erasures. I do not think [ could be deceived In this unless the man that did the work bad the same facilities for doing it that I have for de- tecting it--that 1s unless the torger was a micro- ‘scopi One case in which I testified was where @ man was being sued on a bond involving $100,000. He acknowledged thathe had signed a bond for oneof the partics named in the bond produces: but claimed that the second name had been added since. The rson he |signed for, he sald, was reliable and trustworthy, but the other erson Was. not, and he would never fave signed the’ bond had bis name been upon it at the time. All the writing on the document was in the same band and appeared to have been written at thesame time. Under a microscope, I discovered Dy, the age of the ink, that the seo- ond name had been added sometime aiter the lena? was signed, and that the proncun ‘htm’ had beenchanged to ‘them’ whenever It oc- curred in the bond. Another case I was called Into was where an old man’s name had been forged to notes by bis son-in-law. There were uinety notes for one thousand dollars each, which the old man pronounced forgeries, and on examining them T found thei to be ‘such. Without knowing anything of his habit, [ knew as soonas f saw his genufne signature that he always wrote {t with a gold pen. The fyrveries were all written with a steel pen, and there were enough points of difference for me to be able to distinguish them from the genuine In every case. “In a murder trial in Maryland there was = MeBride, » 8.

THE CRESCENT OF FORTS ‘and batteries was six miles long, and ing vessals would be under a raking fire, and if the center of the town should be reached, the attacking vessels wolild have the direct fire from the center, and a raking fire trom above and below. After a careful examination of the enemy's strength, it was decided that our force Was not sufficient, und the Hartiord started for New Orleans to order ap our whole forces and make preparation forthe attack. Amer per- forming our duty we again started up the arriving at Vicksburg about the 234 of June. Preparations for the attack and bombardment were rapidly pushed forward. Gen. Williams arrived from New Orleans and erected a bat- tery opposite the city. Admiral Porter arrived with his mortar boats from below Fort Jackson and put them tn position. Admiral Davis, of the upper flotilla, placed his mortars so as to bombard the town from above. Firing began on the 27th of June and the morturs above and below kept up asluggish fire duriug the day. Towards evening the ships were cleared for action and the mortars increased their fire. At halfpast two in the morning the fleet commenced moving up towards the batteries, and just before daybreak the leading vessels were fired upon. This acted like u sig: | nal to the mortars, which seemed to redout their fire, and sent a periect stream ot shell into all parts of the city. The Richmond was in the lead, the Harttord next aud tie Brool lyn in the rear. The smaller ve take position between the three large vesse When the Richmond aud the other leading veusels reached the center of the city, they be: came completely enveloped in their own smoke, and cuuld scarcely be distinguished. Allthé surrounding hilis seemed alive with batteries, These, with the water batteries, kept up a destructive fire as we advanced. “Our | ship moved slowly, but silencing most of the batteries on her way. DNNOCENT LOOKING BATTERIES, The most formidable battery of all was lo ested ina large building in the center of the city, half way up the slope. The guns were fired from the windows, and from the center of the building the yellow hospital flag was flying. This battery attracted the admiral’s special no- tice. When we were abreast of it the ship was stopped and the osder passed to concentrate fire upon the hospital battery. This we did, lying in front until it was a silent mass of ‘ruins. Many other batteries were located in buildings Of the most Innocent appearance. After silene= ing the hospital battery there was no reply to our broadsides from any quarter, except irom one heavy gun at the upper end of the city, so high up the bluff that we couldn't reach it. The smoke cleared away and we saw the fierce bat- teries of Vieksburg lying silent be‘ore us. Of our fleet three only remained in sight of the Hartford—the Iroquois, Winona and Pinola. The admiral gave orders tosignal close order tothe fleet. There was no answer excepLfrom our brave little companions. The Richmond had gone ahead at tuil speed and passed the batteries as quick as possible, ‘The gunboats with her followed her example. 7 ym and the gunboats with her did Rot come further than the lower battery. It looked as if it was intentional that the attack should be a failure, through @ feeling of jealousy ‘ef t's growing popularity and fame. “Be his us it may, we jound ourselves with about Po eenpas of our fleet. It was a great misiortune. the balance of the fleet answered our sig- nal, we could have anchored in tront of Vicks- burg, and, with our guns covering all important polnis, dely the confederacy. It was suid that 20,000 troops were behind the city, but they could do nothing with us and did not dare to come within range of our guns. Their heavy butieries were siienced and most of them re {a ruins, and a free passage of the river could we becn maintained without difficulty, The chance was lost, and it afterwards cos! millions to xecomplish "what we did that morning— silewce the batteries of Vicksburg. There was notaaman on the ship that did not feel dis heartened, as the gallant old Hartford, GIVING BACK THE VICTORY to the enemy, started up the river with her brave little companions to join the part of the about six miles above the city, among Admiral Daviy fleet. ‘The war v ere ani ° the Vicksburg side, and the howpiials, tran: ports, &e., werewn the opposite side, leaving a harrow passage.
