USED HIS PLACE.
Ackers Found Guilty of
Counterfeiting.
HOW HE USED BASE METALS
AS a blacksmith He Awaited Himself
of His knowledge of Metals
to Aid the Work.

Charles A. Ackers appeared In the
United States District Court yesterday be-
fore Judge Morrow and jury, to answer
to charge of making counterfeit money.
The story is fresh in the minds of most
San Franciscans, especially as tragedy
is connected with it. For there were
three persons concerned in the counter
feiting-Mohr. Moody and Ackers. and
when Ackers was arrested the other two
made their escape. Deputy Constable Tod
hunter, with his son, started in pursuit of
Moody and Mohr and came upon them on
the Sacramento River two months ago.
T0dhunter and his son were in boat and
called on the counterfeiters TO surrender.
But the only reply was bullet fired by
one of the two. which stretched young
Todhunter out. shot through the heart.
This melancholy incident caused the pur-
suit to wax hotter than ever. but neither
was ever caught. Moody. however, was
cunning enough to save his own skin by
Offering to appear and give evidence against
Ackers on the promise Of pardon from
the Government. His offer was accepted,
and Moody will not be prosecuted for the
felony. although should the crime OF muir
der ever be laid to his door that will be an
other matter. Public opinion. however,
seems to point 10 the boy Mohr as the muir
derer of Todhunter.
AS for Ackers, he is by trade black
smith, and was in the employ OF the Pa
cific Metal Company. He is alleged to
have supplied his confederates with ma
teIials for the making of counterfeit CONS,
one order which he SUPPLIED consisting Of
eight pounds of block tin, two pounds OF
antlmony and one pound of bismuth. And
bag of spurious coin was found i'll coal
bunker near whore Ackers worked. and
where it is said that Mohr and Moody
used to camp out at nights when times
were bad and they had no bed to 60 to.
Moody was, of course. the principal
witness. and Yesterday through him As
sistant District Attorney Shurtleff
wound fairly strong chain of evidence
gazing at nothing by the side Of his attor-
ney, j. J. Mack Moody told all he knew
in az apparently guileiess manner.
Moody had some difference of opinion
with Attorney Mack as to who shot Tod
hunter; otherwise there was nothing
startling in his evidence. He admitted his
completely in everything. and. although
not exactly confessing his guilt in the
shooting affray, Moody admitted that he
was c0iner, thief, a burglar and good
ness knows what all besides.
AckeFs was put on the stand and adj
mtted Ills acquaintance with Mohr. He
had kept Moht in food one time when the
latter was out of work. He admitted hav-
ing supplied certain orders, but denied all
completely in the coming. Ackers also
produced a number of witnesses who tes-
titled to his previous good character and
industry.
All the testimony being in. the jury re-
tired and, returning, rendered o verdict
third counts. He will be sentenced to-
morrow.
