DANGEROUS BILLS.
Tee Work OF an Expert Coantcrfeitor who
Uses Only Pen and Ink. g


OnoOf the most successful counterfeiter
In the country has bafllcd the Treasury for
over five years. Ho has adopted such an
original role that thus far no trace Of him
has ever been reached. His name. even,
Is not known. a fairly good description
Of him has been obtained, but beyond that
the Sccret-Scrvice Bureau has 40 positive
information. This counterfetor works
alone. lie has no apparatus beyond pen
and bottle Of ink. and. having no accom-
plices. is not in any danger OF being DO
trayed. His method OF proceeding is very
simple. He will take n ten. a twenty or a
fifty If the grccnback or National bank is
sue. and in the shortest possible time can
make such successful copy Of IL In pen and
ink as n defy detection from anybody but
an expert with giass I saw "A fifty dol
lar note ~ the Treasury made by him. OF
tho Crccnback issuc. The general appear
ancc Of this bill Is perfect. Thc lines
about all Of the portrait work will bear
the closest inspection under glass Tho
letter work is absolutely correct. and tho
signatures miraculous reproductions.
Even the Treasury real is faultlcss Tho
artist that produces this class Of work
rarely ever Countcrfcits the same issue
twice during the same period. II is. there
fore, not possible to put bank people on
ttcT guard against MIN. 10 SkipS about
from issue 10 issue. AMI. while he rarely
goes below twenty dollars, vet has deccnd-
cd 10 make ten dollar note He is appar-
emily always on the wing. His first note
was detected in New Orleans. Other issues
have been found in Southern cities
along the Mississippi river, and
then again they would he found
in Chicago or the extreme West. His
counterfciting can never reach very large
amount. He apparently travels about a
great deal and defrays the expenses Of his
travelling with his knowledge of the pen.
Ec Is a man Of such talent that he could
certainly command handsome salary in a
legitimate business. He has thus far been
so successful in putting his wares on tho
market that by the time his note is de-
tcctcd the slightest trace OF its authOr is
gone. This is ono Of the rOmanccs of tho
secret service. There is not an officer con-
nected with the service but who firmly be-
lieves that even this evasivc counterfeiter
will be caught in the end. IL will be a
hard job to find him. He is only one of
sixty millions Of people. with no connec-
tons or relations with the other members
Of the human family 10 bc:ra him. And
yet every successful counterfeiter this
country has thus far known has been
brought to punishment in the end.
