Successful CounferfeitIng in the Ohio
State Prison.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 2-For some time coun-
terfet five cent pieces or nickels have been
quite common here, and until today the public
knew nothing as to where they came from.
Today Sunday news reporter has learned the
particulars of what has developed into a first
class sensation. These bogus coins have been
traced to young son of Col. G. S. Innis, war
den of the penitentiary. Upon being interro-
gated the child told that he had been furnished
the coin by certain prisoners to purchase to-
bacco for them. This led to an investigation
and it now turns out that the making of the
queer has been going on in this penitentiary
under the very eyes of the guards without dis
coVery. The moulds for the coin were made
by the prisoners and the metal used was ANAL
gam IN plating harnesses in the harness shop.
