been detected by J.. K. Walters Of the

rently OF the denomination of so, was
found TO be really a 80 bill Of the series
Of 1880, so carefully altered as TO almost
defy detection. The word silver had
been deity pasted across the face Of the
greenback TO give it the appearance of q
silver certificate, and the figure IS" had
been pasted over the figure Il" In addi-
ton to this the word fifty" had been
substituted in like manner for the word
ten" in the upper left-hand corner Of the
bill. 1t is believed that the forgery was
committed I'm West Nirginia.as It was first
detected in Wheeling. Mr.. Walters stated
yesterday that 81 bills are being raised 10
