" hen the Krause ease was re
sumed this morning, the govern
ment placed Ernest Taschek on the
stand and qualified him as an ex
pert in handwriting- Mr Taschek”
went thoroughly into the mysteries
of the intimate knowledge he pos- 1
sesses on this subject- Hc was
shown three copies of the signature
of Christie- as signed to certain
checks, and asked to compare them
with the signature on the now
fanmus Christie letter. He pro
nounced the signature on the latter
a forgery and was than asked to
illustrate the difference to thi jury
The enlargements of the Christie ]
signature taken from the checks
were j laced on the- blackboard be
fore the jury and Mr- Taschek il
lustrated the points in which the i
signatures differed

Christie note is supposed to have
been written, in the possession of
Krause, and also the finding of
several sheets of the same kind of
paper in his grip.
When Mr- Kent finished his tes
timony for the prosecution, the de
fense did not cross examine him.
Frank Cook, of Skagway. who was
in Seattle at the time of the arrest
of Krause, was also on the stand
and practically substantiated the
testimony of Mr Kent- He was al
so dismissed without cross examin
ation on the part of the defense
Following Mr Cook. E. P. Pond
was called on the stand to identify
and produce a number of enlarged
photographs of signatures and let
iters of both Krause and Christie
