The New Orleans Times OF the Cd instant says:-
One OF the most remarkable cases OF counterfeit
ing that has occurred in years came 70 light within
day or two through the suspicious entertained by
MIR. James Graham, State Auditor, for over month.
1t appears that about that time ago, say the 10th OF
July he called upon Captain Badger to state that
man, who heretofore had been OF limited means and
in rather poor circumstances, nad called on him 70
procure warrants for two lots of coupons, one OF
Sc 600 and one OF $12 000 The coupons appeared to
be all right, but he was surprised the man had that
amount of money, and was OF opinion that II must
have been fraudulently obtained.
When questioned as to from whom he bought the
warrants, he sad they purchased from several
parties. He at first stated oe had book with their
names in IL, and afterwards that the book had been
destroyed when he was burned out on Canal street.
When asked by Sergeant Ma one II he had
brokers license, he replied In the negative, inform
ing the oiiicer he did his business quietly. The Ser
geant asked II he did not know Mr.. Boehler, aud il
he had not been talking 10 him quite recently THIS
he denied point blank, 8ndswas ut once confronted
with Special Onlcer Harris, who saw them In con-
yersation The Sergeant told him he might consider
himself in arrest, and started with Special Oficer
Harris to take him TO the station Fney questioned
pOns, and he requested TO see his partner, s. A.
isaacs, before he would answer.
This was the party so IL Is said, who received the
warrants for the $4,000 worth of coupons, and as
soon as Fak was locked up, the officers started for
his store He was taken completely by surprise and
arrested Boehler was approaching the store, and
seeing Sergeant Malone attempted to dodge Into
door. The ofieer however, put ms hand ON hlm,
the once OF the superintendent OF Police, aud all
three stated that the coupons came from colored
u
| Wieklifie Aleck was sent for but denied the
charge TO ali OF them, and was at once released.
Falk had been locked up in one OF the upper cells
OF the First District Station, and later in the even
| ing lsaacs was taken there too. BoehleT, though
seemingly cognZant OF many Of the facts, does not
1 appear as much Implicated as the rest We hear he
| on Wednesday night made a full statement OF the
whole matter TO Superintendent Badger, telling hiIa
/ where the coupons were printed who did the en-
/ craving, and where they were at present secreted.
/ Captain Badger was out with him Ia a cab all yes
teJday morning, but at ~ O'Clock OF the spuri-
| ous coupons had been recovered. There are sad TO
! be an immense nanDer IN existence. The SIS 900
! worth cashed 10y the auditor are said TO be the
same
We learned last evening that Isaacs had given up
$40 coo worth of coupons and s4500 In greenbacks.
This with the $40, 40 retained by Mr.. Graham, aud
the other SlS000 worth, makes total OF S39 $40 worth
already discovered. Many additional facts concern
ing the matter were learned by the police during
Thursday hut they are stll retcenL
| Auditor Graham last evening made an af1idavil
before Recorder Staes, charging all three with hay
ing on the 2sth OF July, obtained two warrants fol
sls,eO on fraudulent coupons.
| ADDITIoEAI--Since the above was written w
hear that young Boehler has confessed that IL wal
ne who engraved the coupons and directed ths
police TO where the $1,000 worth could De found
