A STUDY OF 2 CASES OF UNACCUSTOMED HANDWRITING

Writings made with the unaccustomed hand are generally characterised b y such abnormal traits as uncoordinated strokes, and lack of rhythm in the writing line, with heavy pen pressure. This paper studies these f eatures in comparison with the normal writing of the same person, in t wo cases in which the normal and unaccustomed writing occurred on the same document, and shows how they may be used to indicate the authorsh ip of questioned writing.
