He deseribed the pictorial method of viewing signatyres and said all in this case showed the same accentua- tion, harmeny and likeness, slant and angle, relation’to base line and differ- entiations. From all these he concluded the signatures were all written .by the same person.

Shortly afterwards he heard an officer ask Holmes t0 2o to the police station and later Boland was _asked to go to the police station. Later Mr. Tarrant went to the Senft fesidence nearby to telephone for an. auto to take Cap- tajn Lennen to the hospital.
