Forged Virginia Bonds Returned and Canceled
Three forged Virginia State bonds traced to a Kendall Bank Note Co issue of 1832 were returned to the second auditor and canceled. The bonds, valued at 421,000 across numbers 1 to 431, were tied to a large contract later repudiated by the Mahone regime. Some bonds were sold for unpaid charges, and unscrupulous parties have moved them since, but this is the first retrieval by the auditor. Unclear how many more survive.
