Fraudulent naturalization papers alleged in Philadelphia
Three men including John A. Merrick and his father Richard Merrick, both clerks in City and U S offices, and Eugene Lindsey, a city prothonotary clerk, faced a hearing before Commissioner Edmunds on charges of issuing bogus naturalization certificates.

Witnesses described a saloon back room as a makeshift court where fake documents bearing fake seals were produced and sold for 12 to 17 dollars each.
