A MINISTERIAL FRAUD
Rev Jeremiah Holmes Captured
And Confesses Having
Counterfeited Coin
Watched by the Secret Ser
vice Detectives for the
Past Five Years
A Bag Containing Fifty Dol
lars Counterfeit Coin Leads
to His Arrest

CHICAGO, May 23-Capt. Porter, of the
United States secret service, recently ar
rested Rev. jeremiah Holmes, pastor of
the Campbellite church at Duquoin, H.,
for counterfeiting A gang of counter
feiters was arrested at Duquoin, about
five years ago, and four of them were sent
to the penitentiary. 1t was believed, at
the time, that Holmes was implicated
with them, and ever since, the United
States authorities have kept watch Of
him.
A. p. Atkins. a farmer with whom the
preacher boarded, wrote last Monday to
Capt. Porter, stating that he had seen a
canvas bag containing $50 in counterfeit
coin in Holmes room. The preacher, the
letter stated, had gone away to hold a
revival meeting, and the farmer accident
ally discovered the coin. 1t was all in
new dollars and half dollars, and some Of
the coins were bad impressions, which led
Atkins to believe that his bOarder was a
cOunteTfeiter. Capt. Porter at once went
TO Duquoin, but his manuwas not there.
| Accompanied by three deputy marShals,
he traced him, Wednesday, to a hut in the
| hills near StOnepOrt, just north Of Cairo.
! The officers surrounded the little house
and in few minutes Holmes dashed from
! the front door ami made for the bush
| with Capt. Porter after him. All at once
| ne stopped and surrendered. Three other
men we're found in the hut, but no bad
money was discovered, nor We're there any
| traces of a counterfeiting outfit. Holmes
at first was defiant, but afterward con-
! fessed. He admitted that the coins were
made in a plaster mold, and told where
