TURNED OVER TO CHIEF HAVEN
The Three Famous Plates for Coun-
tcrfetting $1,000 "Seven Thfrtjes.-

The Three Famous Plates for Coup
tcrfeftfnS $1,000 "Seven Thirtie.,
The three plates from which the famous
$1,000 1-30 counterfeit bonds were made
nave been transferred from the custodian
o. plates, rolls, etc, of the bureau of en-
craving and printing to the office of the Sc
cret service of the treasury. 1t has never
been understood why these plates, cap
tured in 1881, were sent to the bureau.
They have the word counterfeit" stamped
on them in such a way that they can never
be used again.
II is customary for such articles to go to
the secret service, and there has never
been an instance of counterfeit plates being
kept at the bureau. There is a tradition
that government officials always had some
doubt as to whether the plates were gem
uine or counterfeit.
These. as stated some time ago in The
Star, were the finest plates ever turned out
by counterfeiters The bills made from
them were SO nearly perfect as to deceive
all off1cials, and the spuriousness of the
notes were detected purely by accident
The counterfeiters. succeeded in realizing
$4,000, the loss of which fell on the bank
erS who took them up. This was decided
after long contests in the court The notes
were detected in the treasury after thew
had passed through the hands of sub
treasurers and the main treasurer The
courts decided that the government did
not lose unless the notes had gone through
the full machinery of the treasury before
being detected.

said to be equally as confident that the

which only the Ia " can decide unless a
compromise can be reached. which Is not

The holders OF the B. and o. SIS of 1925
