terfeits 81 bills raised to fties, the word nifty

John Wilson, who said he came from Texas,
was suspected, shadowed and finally caught pass
ing counterfeit money. When arrested he was
found to have, besides q considerable amount OF
good money, q large quantity or shinplasters and
5, 10 and 5O-cent bills. When locked up IN prison
he was not thought TO be any well-known coun-
terfeiter, but some one in Washington suspected
that his name was an alias, and that the counter
feiter was none other than the notorious Pete
Mccartney. This proves to be the Case. Mozart
ney Is known 70 the Government and other secret
Service onicers as the ''King OF the Counterfeit
ers." He has given Treasury officials more trouble
than any other counterfeiUer ever known. He was
released from the Michigan City, Ind, penitentiary
but few months ago. after having served eleven
years for bis last job. When leaving the prison he
told the United States marshal that they would
have no more trouble with him, that he was Too
old and proposed TO settle down on his Illinois
farm and lead an honest life.
