Chart 14 is prepared slicing out the numerals in P, and using the specimen numerals from P,. A cursory examination of these eleven charts would reveal patent differences in design and size of the letters and the numerals in questioned and specimen writings. The differences are indicated by highlighting letters in the charts. (Some of the most obvious fundamental differences are shown using red underline). The differences are strikingly very high in letters, B, T, U, C, W, S, Y, 8, M, 1, F, O, G, E, Vand 4CHART 4: Line 1: MARINE MIDLAND BANK A (OK emp | Questioned Document P, MARINE, MIDLAND ae P, MARING MIDLAND BANC Ps MACINB MULAN LAWNIC - Patrol MARNE, MULAWD Bank Ps MUA eee ES eeSe — Specimen Writings P, MARene MipLAwE ibANE P, WARING MUPLAAD BANE P, MARINE MIDLAND BANE Py MARINE.

This definitely establishes that the two sets of letterings are by two different writers. This is so because the design and the execution of the above letters involved in questioned writings are consistently repeated both in the 'request standards' and ‘collected standards’. The above consistency between the ‘request and collected standards’ again indicates that there is no attempt on the part of Thilan M Wijesinghe to disguise handlettering in his specimen writings. In fact, in handwriting comparison, even small differences, if repeated, establish clearly that two specimens are the work of two individuals despite a great number of general similarities. In this case there are many patent significant repeated differences between the specimen writings (both ‘collected and request standards’) and the questioned writing. The design and execution of some letters found in the specimen writings of Thilan M Wijesinghe are not found at all in the questioned writing P1. Thilan M Wijesinghe did not execute the questioned writing P1
