SERIOUS OYrRNsBs.-Last mig ut, a young man
named Henry o. Wright, was arrested by
officers Morris and smith for ,N.empnng to
pass counterfeit money, for ASA nit, and for
Grand larceny. This morning thu case was
tried before Justice Giberson, When 1t ap-
reared by the evidence, that the prisoner went
to the store of p. Emerich, 9TH, near G. street,
and purchased ring for Sl2, and gave nifty
dollar note The lady that waited on him teok
the note to her brother, who did not like Its APP
pearance, and he showed it to another person,
who pronounced it counterfeit. Inc note WIS
taken back to Wright, and he was told 1t was
counterfeit. Wright SAID he got II from the
Government. Emerich replied that the Gov
eminent never issued such notes. wright
then said he get 1t from the man he worked
for. Emerich told him to pay three dollars in
good money, which he had, leave the ring and
get 1t when he paid the balance IN the morning.
Wright opened his coat and showed military
detective badge. Emerich remarked that he
did not care for that, as he could call an
officer. Wright turned to run ont: the lady
seized him by the coat, and he got out of it,
and got out Of the door and ran, but was
caught by MIR. Emerich, with the ring in his
pocket, and revolver, which he attemnted 10
draw, but Emerfch took it from him
They kept him until officers came, who took
him to the station house, and found the ring,
some money, and the keys upon him. Taking
his KEYS they went to his boarding house and
searched his trunk, and found three fifty dol
lar notes of the same sort. A pair OF gold
sleeve buttons found upon Wright, were pur-
chased from +. Menkert about an hour before
the attempt at Emericks. He paid Menkert
with a similar note, receiving SAB good money
in change. Wright is a military detective, and
saws taat he got the notes from parties, and
was expecting to catch all concerned in
making them.
Justice Giberson committed him in default
of bail for court in each case.
The counterfeit u. $ fifties are well eXecu-
ted. and would be readily taken for genuine
by persons not accustomed to handling green
backs of that denomination. The green ink is
very pale and would excite suspicion directly
with persons who handle the genuine fire.
quently Wright is fine looking young man,
u wears of age. and was stationed at the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Depot, under Capt.
Potts.
