IMPORTANT ARREST OF DEALERS IN
COJSTERFEET MONEY.
We ave glad to be able to announce the
fact Of arrests, in this vicinity, of some
of the heaviest Of the Western dealers
in counterfeit money. 1t is certainly
high time that something effectualshOuld
be done to put a stop TO this infamous
business, which has been very extensively
on in this vicinity. The arrests
were brought about through the shrewd-
and activity of United States De
tective Joseph Gillard, who has for some
weeks been engaged here, under orders
from the authorities at Washington. In
springing the trap, in this affair, Detec-
tive Gillard first arrested Mrs. Rebecca
Connolly, who lives in her own house,
on Main street, near Sixth, in COving-
ton. After personally buying Of Mrs.
Connolly q certain amount of counter
felt Treasury notes, for which he paid
good money; thus getting her dead to
rights" he made Use of her, before az
resting her, in bringing a Mrs. Wilson, of
this city, intothe predicament. She lives
on her own property, on Washington
street, near High, in house which has
the reputation Of having any number of
tran-doors, and neat hiding places for
counterfeit money. To this place the I'M
suspecting Airs. Connolly, provided with
five National Bank hves, (the number
.N.f, Af aa1h of which tho hnfnatsx-.
noted repaired, day before yesterday,
and purchased of her friend in tho bUs1-
ness, Mrs. Wilson, the desired counter
feits. The officer, II his assumed charac-
ter, met her on Walnut street, neal
Fourth, and received tho ''stuff,n and
shortly after Mrs. Connolly found herself
in tho county Jail, upon the strength of a
warrant issued by United States Com
missioner Halliday, charging her with
dealing in counterfeit United States
Treasury notes, and postal currency. On
the same afternoon detective Gaillard,
together with Deputy UnitedS States Mar
shall James Sands, proceeded to Mrs, VIII
sons house and took her into custody,
finding upoH her the identical National
Bank fves before mentioned. In her
house they found, also. one $. n. Pinck-
ney, who happened TO have in his pocket
quite an assortment of counterfeit Treas
ury notes. Although this was one more
bird than they had bargained for they
did not hesitate n bag 1t. This Mrs.
Wilson is decided, by officers who know
her, as one of the sharPest and most ex-
perieneed of all the female dealers in
counterfeit money. Sine is saidto be very
obstinate now that she is under arrest;
SIZE has noting to say, and takes it quite
cody, informing the officers that If they
send her "up," she does not intend to
assist them at it. Nj Connolly and Nj.
P~inckney scoIG 10 be of the same charac-
ter but as they are arrested on most
positive testimony, we are inclined to
think they viii have a hard time in
lodging the law. Among theeounterfeits
taken nom these people are treasury
note ffties, twenties, tens and fves, and
fifty cent postal currency pieces. They
now await, in the county Jail, their *
animation before the United States Com
