Applying the Sweating Process TO the Silver
Certificates.

Applying the Sweating Process to the Silver
Certificates.
WASHINGTON Feb. 14.-The Treasury De-
partment has received for redemption several
manipulated silver certificates. It is the revival
of the old game of making five notes make six,
known technically as the sweating process,
which consists of cutting bank notes into strips
and then in putting them together, save enough
Of each to make an additional note. The Law
permits the Treasury Department to redeem a
mutilated bill at its face value If three-ffths of
1t remains. The sharpers have taken advantage
of this law. The certificates are first cut in FIVE
pieces and then, by taking one piece from FIVE
different certificates, sixth certificate is made.
Thus the five genuine certificates would each
lack one fifth, but the sixth, or the bogus Ger
tifcate, would apparently have enough pieces
pasted together to make it complete. All the
certificates are therefore, until the trick is dis
covered. redeemable at their face value I'm
fortunately for the swindlers, the tendollar GER
tifcates have the number of each engraved in
various places on the note in very small figures.
Of course the doctored notes are made Of frag.
ments containing numbers which do not CORE

fraud.

will strengthen the Democratic State
ticket on the old theory of "thc more
