chief witness in his own behalf. He was
on the stand the greater part of the day
and told the story OF the Killing Of Celia
Hanson and the slashing of his own throat
from the standpoint of third party having
committed the deed Briefly his story il
that he awoke with his throat cut, rushed
out of the cabin and ran Mortified until he
fell from the dock into the bay He did
not know who was IN the cabin when he
made his escape or whether Celia Hanson
was alive or dead. his testimony going to
show that his sole idea upon awaking was
10 escape and summon help
Creams made 4 fairly good witness in his
OWN behalf and stood the cross-examina-
tlcn better than. was expected Of him. He
IS nc; quickwitted, but WAS shrewd in his

DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT CERri-
FICATE Is DISCOVERED.
So Close n Resemblance to the orfSf-
nal That Ii Pusxels Expcrts-En-
tire Issue of $26.OOO.OoO Has heen
Called in by the Treasury Oificia.s.

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-One OF the
most dangerous counterfeits ever discov-
cred has made its appearance. John
CreameT, of the sub-treasury. at philauel-
phia, today brought TO the secret service
five 500 counterfeit silver eertiii-
Gates. The general appearance is
excellent, and. after close eNami-
nation the officials of the treas
ury cash room were undecided as 10
their genuineness. and only after tile
notes had been soaked in hot water when
the two pieces forming the front and back
of the note came apart. were they con-
WINGED of the fraud. ON examination an
other spurious note was discovered.
The notes brought over by Mr.. Dreamer
had been turned into the sub-treasury by
two leading banks. and the Philadelphia
custom house, who had received them as
genuine.
Agents of the secret service everywhere
have been wired a description OF the notes
with instructions TO be on the lookout for
persons attempting TO pass them.
The chief engraver at the bureau of en-
craving and printing announced the coun-
terfeit a very dangerous production.
In view of the dangerous character Of
the counterfeit Secretary Gage today de-
cided to stop and to call in all 500 silver
certificates. of which there are about s26.-
100000 outstanding. These will be ex-
changed for silver certificates Of smaller
denomination and the plates destroyed. As
soon as new plates can he engraved new
series will he issued. Assistant treasurers
at all OF the suh-treasury cities will he re-
quired to send to the treasury In Wash
ington all 800 silver certificates in their
possession and to request all banks trust
companies and other moneyed institutions
to do the same
Secretary Gage desired the statement
made that in his judgment ii was unsafe
for business men or others to accept sill
yer certificates of this denomination aud
In case they IRE now on hand they should
ne sent to the banks for transmission to
Washin.t ton.
