DELONG HELD FOR TRIAL
Boy Who Had Bad Dollar Goes TO Jail
for the Winter
HE TELLS A STRAIGHTFORWARD STORY
Close Questioning FniIs TO shake His
Account of How lie Came to
Have the Spurious
Coin.

Fred DeLong, the 17-year-od boy arrested
on the charge Of passing counterfeit money,
was given a hearing before Commissioner
Steadman yesterday afternoon. Special
agents Of the Treasury department were
present to prosecute the case, and the boy
was held to the grand Jury. His bond was
fixed at $500 There was no one who felt
inclined to stand good for his appearance at
the next term OF the federal court and he
was sent to the county Jail. He may be
Obliged to remain there until the middle OF
next March
When brought before the commissioner
the boy still adhered to his story OF tho
mysterious stranger having given him the
money with Instructions to return him tho
change. The story was given in such per-
sistent and straightforward manner that the
federal officers arc rather Inclined to be
lieve 1t and Will make determined search
for the real culprit. HIS story was some
what corroborated by the testimony Of Man.
ager Bowen of the Dohany theater. who said
there were four strangers behind the boy
when he attempted TO pass the counterfeit
silver dollar, and that they followed him
out when he left the rotunda. .DeLong says
the man first 3ccosted him near the corner
OF Pearl street and Broadway and asked him
tickets for him. When the boy replied In
the Affirmative the man gave him the
spurious coin and told him to buy the tickets
and keep them, but to bring back the
| change. When the worthless character Of
the coin was pointed out he started to re-
turn to the man, and found him waiting for
him at the doorway OF the theater. When
he gave the man the money and told him 1t
was bad he said the fellow expressed sur
prise and taking another coin from his
pocket, told him to 20 and buy 10 cents
worth OF candy and see II II was also coun-
terfeit. He did so and was caught by the
young girl at the candy counter. An hour
in the sweat box did not induce the boy TO
make the slightest variation In his story.
While he was being questioned he admitted
that he ran away from his home in Bloom
ington, ILL.,, six months ago. The boy is a
bright and handsome little fellow, with a
refined face and manners and has evidently
had good home influences. Every person
about the commissioners office felt the
strongest sympathy for him. When he was
told that he would have to spend the winter
in Jail he had hard struggle with his feel
ings to keep from breaking down. A few
tears gathered in his eyes and a sob shook
his bosom, while he murmured something
about mother not knowing It,"
