KEPT COIN IN A POTATO.
But Fischer Knew This Frightened
C~ounterfefts.

Peter Keenan, and Thomas Molloy, two
tough looking young men, were held In
the Lee Avenue Police Court, Williams
burg, to-day on several charges. They
are accused OF trying to pass counter
felt money. wrecking a saloon, assault
ing the bartender and stealing coal, all
in one night.
Last evening Keenan and Molloy. ac-
companied by Michael Gallagher, went
to the saloon Of Thomas Fischer, In Will
son street and Kent avenue. Gallagher
ordered drinks, and when Fischer de-
manded payment Gallagher pulled a
potato out Of his pocket. The potato had
been cut in two. and between the two
halves was what purported to be a sill
yer dollar.
Fischer, however, understands that a
potato can make a bad dollar look strong
and honest. He demanded other money.
The men refused to pay him. and when
he got angry with them they wrecked his
place. Policeman Schlunsen was passing
at the time and arrested Keenan, and
Molloy.
This morning Robert Hordgolb, a
Waterman employed by S. Tuttls's Son &
Co, charged that the prisoners had
stolen coal from his employers yard.
and they were held on this complaint as
well as on the other charge.
