COUNTERFEIT FIVES.
How They May be Distinguished From
the Genuine Bills.
From the Chicago Tribune, March q.

From the Chicago Tribune, March q.
A dangerous counterfeit of the S. silver
certificate is in extensive circulation in
Chicago. Hundreds Of men applied yester-
day at the banks for information, and one
or more of the counterfeits turned up
among the deposits in nearly every institu-
ton in the city. Competent authorities
say that fully 1000 of the queer is in
circulation in this city.
The first official intimation of the new
counterfeit was given by Chief Bell from
Washington Feb. 10. The counterfeit IS of
the S. issue authorized by act of Congress
Aug. 4, 1886, and known as Department
Series, 1886, W. S. Rosecrans, Register of
the Treasury: James w. Hyatt, Treasurer
of the United States. The circular says
that its general appearance is excellent and
the color of the Treasury numbers and seal
good. The notch of the key in the seal is
simply a perpendicular line in the
counterfeit, whereas in the genuine
bust of Gen. Grant is soiled and
scratchy in appearance and has two white
patches on the lower lip and near the left
corner of the mouth. The engraving and
printing are fair The paper is lighter and
shows no parallel silk threads on the back
The note is also shorter than the genuine
The first counterfeit to be detected here
-
from Marshal Fields retail store This bill
did not-as stated in the official circular
show the two parallel silk threads across
the back, but in later specimens this defect
has been remedied by the drawing of ink
lines across the bill In so doing the coun-
terfeiter has overreached himself, for the
reason that the omission of the lines is not
noticeable, while the ink lines, as now
drawn, afford the surest and easiest method
of detection. If a genuine bill be laid face
downward the silk threads can be seen only
at the margin, whereas in the counterfeit
the lines run distinctly clear across the
back of the bill. The poor work
on the portrait of Gen. Grant, and
the inferior quality of the paper-it is a
noteworthy fact that in the later specimens
two different kinds of paper have been used
can also be readily seen upon even slight
examination. The counterfeit, as a whole,
is not regarded as a first-class specimen of
the counterfeiters work by experts, but,
especially after it has become slightly soiled
is well calculated TO deceive the the trusting
nature of the ordinary citizen. Generally
speaking any certificate signed by Jordan is
good, no counterfeitS of that sort having yet
appeared, although one suspected bill bear
ing his signature hes been sent to Washing
ton by the First National Bank for exami-
nation.
The Secret Service officers have been at
work ever since the circular arrived, but
have as yet run across nothing important
in the way of pointers All the 'promi-
nent counterfeiters' of the country are now
at large except three. These three have the
ability TO do the work, and the half dozen
who are not in confinement are equally ca
pable.

for a Police Justice for that duty, but as
yet there is none appointed. He secured

the attorney for the city advised him to con-
tinue the court until the new machinery got
into good working trim. At 1880 o'clock
therefore, the Mayor occupied the judicial
chair, ready to administer big doses of JUS

CHINESE CERTIFICATES.
A Big Conspiracy at San Francisco
Confessed in Court.

OlISSS6Q III SOALI.
SAN FRANCISCO, March pa sensation
was created in the United States Circuit
Court to-day in the trial Of Ferdinand
Ciprico and Z. a. Mclean, EXCLUSIONS in
spectors who were recently indicted with
W. A. Boyd, also an ex-inspector, on
charges CT fraud and conspiracy in
dealing in Chinese return certificates.
Boyd, who has been confined in jail several
months, came into court and made full
confession of the conspiracy. in which e
said Ciprico, McLean, Interpreter Z. kipp
and himself were engaged. Boyd stated
that in January, 1885. the conspirators
made an agreement with a man named a.
Hause that the latter should take return
certificates to China and sell them.
HOW THEY WERE OBTAINED.
Boyd mad charge of the registration de-
partment in the custom house, and the GER
tficates We're obtained by procuring the
services of large number of Chinese, who
had no intention of going to China, but who
would present themselves at the custom
house for registration and be furnished
" 18th a white tag, which entitled them to
certificate, which, of course, they never
procured. The conspirators would then
collect these white tags, which were evil
dence of Chinaman's departure, ard then
issue certificates, which they retained
in their own possession. Boyd said about
100 certificates would be obtained in this
manner on the departure of every steamer.
When Hause first sailed he carried about
500 certificates obtained in this way, and
during the next few months 500 or 800 more
were sent him.
SOLD IN CHINA.
These he sold in China and the money
was returned to this city for distribution
among the conspirators. The Chinese who
purchased the certificates came over on the
steamers and were landed in this country.
Boyd stated that he had been induced to
give this evidence at the solicitation Of
Assistant District Attorney McPike. and at
the conclusion of his testimony McPike
moved that the charges against Boyd be
dismissed and that he be discharged from
custody, which Judge Sawyer granted. A
nolle pros was entered in the case of ex-
Inspector Whaley, VINO was indicted on
similar charges, and an order was made di
recting the Marshal to take Interpreter Kipp
into custody.
