The Fraudulent Silver Certificates an
Legal Tenders.

DESCRIPTION OF THoSR RECEIVED AT THE
TREASURY FOR REDEMPTION.
A number Of ten and twenty dollar silver GER
tificates and legal tenders amounting to Ss1O
have been received at the Treasury department
from New York for redemption, which by their
peculiar mutilation bear evidence of q very
clever attempt at fraud on the public, as stated
In yesterdays STAR. Only one-Quarter of each
note is missing, and therefore the notes will
probably be redeemed under the law, as less
than two-fffths of each original note is gone. 1t
was with the missing portions that the fraud
was perpetrated. The notes to be redeemed ap-
pear to have been torn all at once by accident
but upon investigation it is seen that each one
was torn separately and at different corners
but with such eXactness that for every four
notes torn there remained the four quarters of
another note. By carefully pasting these sec
tions together another new note was formed
and put into circulation, while the mutilated
ones were presented for redemption. While
the patched notes would perhaps escape detec-
ton by the public there are a number Of ways
OF recognizing the fraud It is impossible to Sc
cure the right numbers on the patched notes.
while the silk thread in the paper, being Of dill.
ferent colors and in different places, furnishes
ulImistakable proof of fraud. One corner of a
patched note in circulation was found to belong,
without doubt, to one of the mutilated notes
presented for redemption. secret service
officer has been detailed to look the matter up.
