AcouNTERFs,TeR,s CLAIM.
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ASKED FOR
TWELVE YEARS ALICE FALSE IMPRIsoN.


MENT.
WASHINGTON, March 12,-The chief of
the Secret Service Division NJ AIDE a report to
the Secretary OF the Treasury in regard to
the case of George Albert Mason, a notorious
ceunterfeiter, recently released from prison,
where he had served the greater part of a
term Of twelve year,, and who has made a
claim against the government for $4,000 for
false imprisonment. He made the claim as
Briish subject, through the British minis
ter. The claim was referred by the Secretary
of State to the Treasury Department. The
chief of the Secret Service Division makes a
strong argument against allowing the claim,
which, he says, is based upon an entire mis-
representation of facts and is without Justice
or equity.
