IMPORTANT ARREST Startling Record.
a counterfeitor named Edward Williams was
arrested at his house, in New Egypt, Ocean
county, N. j., by United States Detective Net
fleship, on Saturday. The career Of this man
is at once startling and strange. The day pre-.
yious to the trial OF Charles Dobbius, In the
United States district Court at Trenton, dur
ing last July, for alleged sshovlng" of coun-
terfeit money, Williams sought Detective Net
teship and volunteered 10 become q witness
against Dobbins. The detective believing that
from the consequences of his own evil doings
declined his services. The detective then set
himself AT work to gain evidence against Will

visit Methodist camp meeting at PointvilIe,
Cumberland county, and decoy was accord
ingly sent to that place. with instructions to
gain the confidence OF the suspected counter
feiter. Williams was found in all his
glory at the camp meeting shouting with
the brothers and praying with the
sisters, and apparently Joining with his
whole soul in all the religious exercises. He
had his own tent on the ground, in which he
employed himself during intervals at taking
photographs. The decoy soon became his
pal" and finally bought OF Williams 800
placed Williams in the desired position. but
he was allowed to run loose for while, it
being feared that his arrest might interfere
with the arrest OF other parties Finally all
was right, and Williams was arrested at New
Egypt, whittier he had gone after the adjourn.
ment OF the camp meeting, taken to Newark
and safely lodged in jail. The affair was not
yesterday. A search of Williams residence
resulted in the discovery Of his commission as
spy In the Confederate service. and permits
sions from several leading generals allowing
him 10 take photographs within our lines. In
this way it is supposed that he gained infor-
