A careful examination of the brass box
found recently in the cellar of the premises
at Third and J streets, occupied lately by
John Senich as a restaurant, leads to the
impression that whoever made it as mold
for the manufacture of counterfeit 50
pieces failed in his design, and the person
who purchased or had it made must
have been disappointed. 1t was made
with great care, the workmanship being
that of a fine mechanic, but when it came
to pouring in the molten metal the failure
was apparent. 1t was probably thrown
aside as useless.

PENDANT did not have counsel present. He

ing inquired of through the telephone,

found. The hearing was then postponed
: until tomorrow at 10 A. NJ.
