All this time the doctor had watched
their operations cody and with a sneer-
ing expression on his face. He seemed
pleased at the failure and made no effort
TO conceal his feelings and IL may be said
his visitors could not help betraying the
chagrin they experienced over their dis
combture. AS the doctor sat before his
desk blowing smoke rings out into the
room Mr.. swans gaze was arrested by
the tray into which the bottles had been
put on the entrance of the party. Going
over to the tray Mr.. Swan took out the
bottles and seeing that IT appeared like
an ordinary box was about TO replace the
bottles in 1t, when his eye caught bit
of paper sticking up between what APP
peared to be the bottom and the side. 1t

Raising the tray above his head, he
brought Ii down on the desk with such
force that 1t was shattered into pieces.
Then was revealed package OF bogus

DIR. Tazant was no longer smoking.
The sneer had disappeared from his face
and In its place was an expression
of furious rage. He sprang from his
chair toward Mr.. Swan and made a move
ment as Ito uraW weapon, out pru-
dence prevented his following that
course further aud dropping back into
his chair he announced "The game is up,
gentlemen. But YOU can't make anything
out OF il. Now I'll tell you what / win
do. You take the S1400 in good money
and say no more about this little affair. -
But those officers were not Ia the bribe
taking business. They declined the doc
tors offer and marched him off to the
station where he was locked up in a cell.
subsequently he was arraigned for max
ing and lettering counterfeit money and
waiving examination was held In 5000,
which was furnished. When his case
was called 1t was found that the doctor
mad skipped and his bail was defaulted.
About three months afterward he was
again arrested, this time in Philadelphia
and on his person were found counterfeit
bills amounting to more than S100, ,000.
Il his time no was committed but had
been in confinement only a short time
when he made his escape. DIR. Tazant's
real name was Ralph Osborn, and when
MIR. Swan arrested him In Albany he
found among his papers pardon signed
by President FfffmUre for the man under
that name from the Stete prison at Al
bany to which he had been sentenced for
counterfeiting silver dollars.

On arriving they called at once upon
the city marshal and made known their
errand. They showed him also the
envelop they regarded as furnishing a clue
to.the identity OF the chief counterfeiter.
They then learned that tboro was Ia AL
bany q man who called himself DIR.
Tazant, who lived in good style and
seemed possessed of more than ordinary
means. He made pretense of practicing
medicine, but was looked upon with
suspicion by the police. Indeed, only
three weeks before the arrival OF Mr..
Swan and Mr.. Gross his house had been
raided and searched for bogus money or
counterfeit producing pharaphernalia,
but nothing of the kind was found.
However, In spite OF the failure OF this
previous raid, which hai been made by
United States officers the city marshal
offered TO render any assistance In the
present case that the officers from Provi-
dence might desire.
Very early the following morning be-

A Chase to Albany After
a COunterfeiter.
DR.. Tazant Was Readyto Have
His Place Searched.
Mr.. Sw an Discovered Place of Con-
cealment OF Bad Bills.

Whatever'the cause, whether II be the
especial alertness OF our merchants or the
constant watchfulness OF the police, 1t is a
fact that counterfeiters have IA rule Jared
very badly here, and have found Provi-
dence anything but a safe or fruitful field
for their operations. Very soon after the
organization OF the police force in 1866
occurred one OF the most interesting and
important cases of counttrfeiting with
which the department has bad TO deal.
AT the time II attracted attention not
only. here in Rhode Island, but through
out the country, and tho name OF Dr.
Tazant, the chief acto: in 1t, became
widely known through 1t and his subse-
quent criminal operations. IT was late
Ia the tall of 1866 that Defective Swan
and the late Thomas j. A. Gross, who was
su bsequently chief OF the police depart
ment, arrested Providence man for pas
sing counterfeit money. This man was
in business and the promptness with
which he was taken into custody Is
shown by the fact that ne had received
the counterfeit money.on the morning OF
the day on which he was arrested.
This bogus money reached him by mail
and search of his pockets by MIR. Swan
and his fellow policemen brought to light
the letter which accompanied 1t. This let
ter was signed "X. Il. X.," which furn-
ished no clue TO the identity of the
writer, nor would the prisoner assist the
police by giving any information on the
su ubject. He was convicted, however, and
sentenced TO three years Imprisonment
which lie served. MIR. Swan and Mr..
Gross were determined IL possible TO run
down the man who had furnished the
counterfeit money, regarding him as even
more dang srous than The man who had
passed IT. That he was in Albany, N. Y,
they felt reasonably certain, because the
letter which brought.the counterfeit bills
had been mailed at that city. However,
they needed something more than the un-
meaning letters "X.T.X.," to assist them
IN locating and identifying him. AS a
last resort they made thorough search
of tho shop OF the min who had been ar
rested for ''shoving the queer" here and
were rewarded by iinding an envelope on
which was the address "Dr. Iazant, AL
bany, n. w." This they concluded must
be the name OF the furnisher of the bo-
gus money and OF to Albany they went.

1t would be hard TO predict who will
