The back of the new counterfeit is made
OF the back of a 5 per cent interest note of
the same denomination. The scroll and
lath work is alike, with the exception OF
the central portion in which the interest is
computed. The lettering of the compute
ton is counterfeited. ...........
The balance Of the back is believed u
have been printed from the missino por-
ton Of the stock which has somehow come
into the possession Of the maker. This
opinion is shared by all experts in the
Treasury save one, who thinks the spuri-
Gus plate may have been obtained by the
Appleton process Of transferring. At all
events the one hundred dollar compound
interest counterfeit is dangerous one. be-
