FRIZZELL DROUGHT IN.
VIII Have "A Preliminary Hearing ON
the Charge of Counterfeiting.

Mayor L. w. Nelson of Thunderbolt
gave an order to Deputy United States
Marshal Wilson yesterday directing Mar
shall Lentz of Thunderbolt to turn over to
him Charles Frizzell, colored, now con-
fined in the jail there under thirty-day
sentence for disordey conduct and resist
ing an officer.
Frizzell, as was stated in yesterday s
Morning News, is wanted by the United
States authorities on a charge of having
in his possession and attempting to pass
counterfeit silver dollars of the vintage
of 1891. Deputy Wilson went out for him
and now has him confined in Chatham
county Jail. He will probably be given a
preliminary hearing before United States
Commissioner NJ. A. Connolly this after
noon. His wife, Rosa Frizzell, who was
arrested on the same charge has been
committed to jail to await the action of
the United States court in her case.
Deputy Marshall Wilson made an in
spection of Frizzell's living quarters, but
failed to find anything that he could rec
ognize as counterfeiters' tools, nor did he
find any counterfeit dollars. He did find
a lot of chemicals of some kind, however,
and an ordinary tool or two that appear
eu 10 nave SOiue SUSPICIOUS uSct anu lOOfA
charge of them. He says he intends to
have the suspicious materials examined
by a chemist
In the event no case is made against
Frizzell at the preliminary examination;
he will be turned over to the Thunder
bolt authorities again, and will serve OUT
the balance of his sentence there. The
authorities are still under the impression
that there is a gang of counterfeiters
around somewhere, and that large num-
Der of the bad silver dollars has been
made. Collector Prickett, who accepted
three of the bad dollars in payment of a
bill, will be present at the preliminary
hearing, to see If he can identify Frizzell
as the man who paid them to him. If
many more of these bad dollars pass
around, there is no doubt that somebody
is going to get in trouble.

One of Them.

Grant Gibbs has been wanted for some
time by the officers Of Justice G. e. Bev-
ans court on a warrant for larceny. and
yesterday he was caught.
The constables often find a great deal Of
trouble in locating a negro when they
have a warrant. Although they may
know a great many negroes by sight, they
are not familiar with their names. After
looking for a long while for Gibbs without
finding him, the warrant was turned over
to Justice Bevans and he gave it to ne
gro constable, Joe Freeman, to serve. as
Freeman said he knew the man and could
get him.
Justice Bevans saw Freeman several
times afterwards and. always, to his in
quiries about Gibbs, he would answer that
he could not be found. Finally, Freeman

and got $1.50 to let him go, and had under

information Gibbs whereabouts were dis

newed efforts for his apprehension, and
went to his house and warned him. This

lying on his former protestations of set

only trying to brighten him.
Justice Bevans, on Tearing all the facts,

ply saying the solicitor would investigate
the matter. Justice Bevans says he is de-
termined to put an end to such practices
as several witnesses say Freeman was
guilty of. 1t is such occurrences, Justice
Bevans says, that bring opprobrium up
on the magistrates offices, and he intends
to make every effort to apprehend Free
man, and, If he is guilty, make him an
swer for his misdemeanor. When he
gave Freeman the warrant he merely did
it in order to make the arrest of Gibbs
possible
Gibbs gave bond for 500 for his appear
