COUNTERFEIT COIN.
A Fifty-Cent Piece That Deceived Many

Merchants.
s'There is no OCCASION" said Special
Agent Harris yesterday to CALL reporter,
"for any one to be taken in by the counter
felt coins that are now being circulated In
San Francisco, if ordinary caution is used
'But that is just the trouble. Few people
use ordinary caution in receiving change l
have repeatedly seen men take handful of
coin from car-conductor or a trad esman
aud put 1t in their pockets without looking
to see if the coin is good or bad, or evep
stopping to count the money.
'.It is by counting upon this carelessness
that counterfeiters are able to pass the poor
limitations that are now on the market. The
dollars that have been alluded to as danger
Gus counterfeits are not at all difficult to de-
tect at the first glance. They are cast in a
mold, are made of common alloy of tin
and lead, and merely thinly plated with
silver. They are light in weight, have no
ring and are clumsy In execution. No one
need be deceived in them.
But here is colD," said the agent,
taking flfty-cent piece out OF his pocket,
that might well deceive anybody. 1t is
one of the famous counterfelts gotten out
in New Orleans many years ago. They
were the best counterfeits ever made in
this country. This coin has ring to it.
1t is Identical in shape, size and weight to
the genuine coin. Its spurious ness cannot
be detected by the coin-detecting machines
that merchants depend so much upon. You
can see that it has the appearance of being
much worn. That appearance was given it
by the counterfelters, who ground the face
of ii down.
''Oh, it is cunning counterfeit. 1t is
made of some sort of bell-metal that is Won
derfully like coin silver, while costing only
two or three cents per coin. This coin was
stamped in die instead of being cast. The
only way to detect it is by its color, which,
if you will closely compare it with that of
a genuine piece, you will see to be trihe
off,"
The reporter borrowed the coin of Mr..
Harris and set out on an experimental tour.
He submitted the coin TO many merchants,
who tested it with their machines, rung it
upon their counters, felt of it, and one and
all declared that it was genuine piece and
that they would take it over their counters.
The coin is of the date of 1860, has the
appearance of being much worn and bears
the stamp of the San Francisco Mint. There
is not particle OF silver in it other than that
in the bell-metal alloy 1t would deceive
any but the most expert. Fortunately, there
are not many of them afloat in San Fran
cisco

M'MAHON'S MISHAPS.
How n Wife Interrupted Husband


How wife interrupted Husbands
Afternoon Siesta.
For some time there has been trouble
among the Mcmahon family at SOB Sansome
street The reason is the husband and
wife cannot get along. During the last few
months they have had each other arrested
on various charges, but each managed to
escape on fines.
About a month ago Mr.. Mcmahon in the
dead of night quarreled with his wife, and
she being strong and muscular soon put
him TO flight. He managed to escape from
his home in his night-clothes by sliding
down a siXteen-foot pillar from two-story
window. After that he left her house.
Shortly after she found out where he was
roOming, and called on him one Sunday
afternoon Mcmahon was taking at the
time Sunday afternoon siesta. HIS
thoughts, however, were recalled to this
mundane sphere by receiving the contents
of a pitcher i'll the face, thrown at hi IN by
his wife. lie had her arrested for battery.
but she escaped through the lenlency OF
Judge Rix.
A divorce suit was then brought, and
pending the determination of the suit she
was awarded a1imony and custody of the
children. About week ago he offered her
part Of the almOny but she refused 1t
and asked for an order of the court to have
him punished for contempt.
Last hight she went to the place where
he was stopping in order to serve citation,
The result was a row. Mrs. McMahon was
arrested by Officer Morgan for disturbing
the peace. After being locked up she rayed
and tore up and down her cell until she be-
came exhausted. She claims that she was
arrested in order to bolster up her huS-
bands side of the divorce case.
Mrs. MeMahon, while in her cell, wanted
the officers to go to her house and bring to
her all her children in order to have COM
pany during her Incarceration.
