A TEN-DOLLAR COUNTERFEIT.
Plates Secured as Result of Confess
sion by the Philadelphia
Counterfeiters.

Washington, May 29.-Chief Wilkie
of the treasury secret service has re-
ceived information from Special Agent
William j. Burns that he has secured
the counterfeit face and back plates
of a so legal tender United States
note with the portrait of Gen. Sheri-
dan, made by Baldwin S. Bredell, the
Philadelphia engraver, who, with his
pal, Taylor, is under arrest, charged
with being implicated in the whole
sale counterfeiting scheme recently
unearthed in Philadelphia and Lancas-
ter, Pa. Their possession was secured
through confession made last week
by Taylor and Bredel in which Bre-
dell said that the plates were buried
in the earth at Snow Hill, Md, where
he formerly lived and where his father
now resides, the prisoner confessing
that he had engraved the plates him
self.
Acting upon this information, Agent
Burns promptly went to the place de-
scribed, and without difficulty secured
the plates.
Chief Wilkie expresses the opinion
that the plates secured are the last of
the lot counterfeited by the men I'M
der arrest.
Plates for $50, $50 and S100 notes al
ready had been secured, but Chief
Willxie believes the attempts to coun-
terfelt the smaller denomination of
SO also had been made, and efforts
to discover if this was the case We're
made.
Last week the attorneys for the i'm
prisoned men communicated with
the government officials and endeav-
ored to ascertain what immunity, if
any, would be extended the men if
they confessed to the further knowl-
edge they had. Mr.. Wilkie consulted
Secretary Gage regarding the matter
and reply was made to the effect that
no binding promises could be given on
the part of the government. This was
followed by further confession.
When the cases come to trial
statement of the iass confession will
be made by the governments attor-
neys, leaving the court to act in it as
it may deem best.
