SOLD BAD MONEY.
An Important Capture by
Agent Harris.
MANY NOTES DISPOSED OF.
Manning Jonas, a Dealer in Counter
felt Bills, Comes to Grief-His
Daring Methods.

The capture of Manning Jonas, counter
feiter, by Secret Service Agent n. r. Har.
ris yesterday afternoon promises to be one
of the most important arrests made i'll this
city in a long time by the United States de-
teetiyes.
Ever since June last there has been
number of well-exeeuted ten-dollar green
back treasury notes put in circulation in
this city, and despite tile constant work OF
the secret service men no clew could be OBJ
tanned as to the source from which the
notes were coming. The detectives were
satisfied that the counterfets were of East
ern manufacture and that they were being
hspdled by not more than one Or two pee
pie. probably one.
Agent Harris, about week ago, got the
first real clew and followed itirdefaiIgably,
and yesterday afternoon. as the result OF
his Investigations, arrested Manning jonas
at III Oak street, where he was To0mng.
ana locked him I'D in the City Prison as a
cOunlerfeter.
Jonas is man 45 years of age, and has
been employed by his brother, Alfred Jonas.
who keeps a butcher-shop on Mission
street, near Seventh. He is also brother
of Joseph Jonas, who, with a man named
Hart, was arrested in MarySville in 1888 tor
in spurious silver coin in their possession
when captured. Jonas escaped with SEN
tence of eighteen months IN the Marysyille
prison, and Hart got four years in San
Quentin. After Joseph Jonas was released
he disappeared, and it is not unlikely that
he went East and resumed his nefariou5
work, and it may be that he or some of bis
companions are the parties who have been
furnishing Manning Jonas, the brother az
rested yesterday, with the spurious $40
notes.
The way in which Manning Jonas has
disposed of his counterfeit $40 notes ac-
counts for the difficulty which the officers
encountered in trying TO apprehend him.
Instead of deliberately trying TO pass the
money, Jonas would take each man to
whom he offered bill into his confidence
aud thus make him a party 10 the crime.
He would go to man and showing him
the greeubacK. which had been soaked in
some liquid and then crumpled up to make
it look old, would tell him he had found IL
and offer to sell 1t to him for dollar or
more IS than the face of the bill. always
with lie proyiso that II the bill didn't 90 lie,
Jonas, would redeem ii.
He diselaimed at all times any knowledge
as TO whether the groenbaek was good or
bad. Beyond question Jonas must have
found many men who were willing TO
jeopardize their liberty in order TO make
dishonest dollar or two, for he has disposed
of many hundreds of dollars worth Of the
'queer."
Jonas was undoubtedly working alone
and had no connection with the gang OF
captured within the past day
or two.

into his rooms on tiptoe. Oh, joy. his wife

opened the windows, closed the shutters,

years to serve. set politicians to thinking.
The Senator did not 60 to Sacramento
yesterday to attend the funeral OF the late
Colonel Greed Raymond although lie had
been selected as one Of the paIbearers, and
this fact was the probable cause of the be-

been in poor health for some time there can
be no doubt, but al no time has his Illness
taken serious turn.
Since his recent return to this city Sena-
tor Stanford has been out driving daily.
