Found Rare Signatures. Among the historical characters | which Dr. Evans has investigated was the notorious Italian Cagliostro. He | succeeded a few vears ago in obtaining the only extant signatures of Cagliostro. for which European antiquaries had hunted fruitlessly for years. He remembered the magician had been imprisoned in the Bastile for more than a year in connection with the famous dimond necklace theft and that it was the custom of the time for the police frequently to interrogate pris- oners. At the end of each interrogation the questions and answers were written down and the prisoner made to sign the sheet as evidence that his replies had been reported correctly. So. after obtaining access to the old Bastiie rec- ords with considerable difficulty, he | found several sheets signed by Cagliostro as a result of such questionings.
