CLEVER COUNTERFEIrER CAUGHT.
his Work Was the Most Dangerous
In the Country.

NEW YORK, April Limited States
Secret-Service agents to-day captured
man named Emanuel Ninger, who. they
claim, has made counterfets OF United
States bills - large denominations. so
excellent in execution as TO almost defy
detection, except by an expert. Ninger's
home Is in Fiagtown, n. j., and Il is said
that he made $40. so, and $50 bills as far
back as 1879. His last series, however,
consists OF 500 bills.
The arrest last Saturday evening OF a
man named Joseph Gilbert, who at
tempted TO pass $50 bank bill. furnished
the clue which led to Ninger's arrest.
Gilbert said he was farmer and can<
from Wilkesbarre, Pa; that he came To
this city to dispose Of some government
bonds and that man who bought one
of them near the Union Trust COmpanys
building gave him the so blll In pay
ment. Gilbert was closely que e'tioned by
Secret-Service-Agent Bogg. and finally
broke down and betrayed the penman.
The government officials decline at pres
ent to definitely state the connection be-
tween Gilbert and Ninger, but It Is be-
lieved that the latter simply used the
former as medium for the circulation
OF the results OF his handiwork. Upon
the information furnished them by GU
bert, Secret-Service officers went 10 FIag-
town and arrested Ninger. The prisoner,
who ls a German, about 10 years old, owns
q farm Of about three acres there.
This afternoon Ninger was arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Shields
who held him for examination on Aprll
1lth. under a $4,000 bond.
Later Agent Bogg said that the pris-
oner had made confession and had sur
rendered the pens. inks. and paper. which
he employed in making cousterfeits.
which. the officers say, are fine specimens,
and the most dangerous counterfeits OF
United States notes i'm existence.
The counterfeit notes manufacturer by
Ninger were so perfect that they have
passed through several national banks
and the clearinghouse In this city. ana
one OF them passed until II was detected
I'm the Treasury Department at washing
ton. The appearance OF the bills was pc
riodical. and there was no way OF locating
them. on account Of the f8cility WIN
which they were passed through the
banks. although IL IL regarded as certain
that primarily the bills were passed In
this city.
