The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-01-15

Two men giving their names as
Charles Burnham and Stanley Suther-
land were arrested Thursday evening
at Minneapolis by Deputy United
States Marshal George D. Henry, on
warrant charging them with having
counterfeit money in their possession,
AND both were held yesterday to await
the action Of the federal grand Jury at
the March term of court by United
States Commissioner Spencer. The
secret service officials believe that the
capture has unearthed a plant at Ham,
line. where the counterfeit silver dol
lars that have been flooding ST. Paul
and Minneapolis have been manufac-
tured.
Early Thursday evening, according to
the complaining witness, Rurnham
made his appearance on Washington
avenue at Minneapolis and tried to buy
copy of 1.-The Loss of the Maine
from A. ]. Klieber, an itinerant ped
dler of songs. A silver dollar was tend
cred in payment which klieber declar-
ed to be counterfeit. An argument en-
sued which eliminated in Burnham
settling for the song with good piece
of money after City Detective Morris
sey and Officer Volk had taken a hand
in the dispute.
The federal authorities were imme-
diately Informed by Morrissey and O
warrant was sworn out by Assistant

United States Attorney Dickey and
given to Deputy Marshal Henry for
service. The men were found in re-
sort on First street.
Both of the prisoners are red and
they look like brothers. although the
man giving his name as Burnharn says
that his home is in Stevens county
Wis, where he has q widowed mother,
while Sutherland claims to live at Bos-
ton, Mass.
The men say that they are the vic
Tins of circumstances. According to
the story told by Durham, who APP
pears to be the older Of the two, he
has been employed as bartender by
his brother-in-law, James Sheridan, at
Hamline. For some time there has
been an occasional counterfeit dollar
showed over the bar, and these have
been thrown behind the till until there
were about dozen accumulated.
Last Thursday, Burnham says, he
became somewhat intoxicated and.
taking his employers team, started
for Minneapolis to enjoy himself. Be-
fore leaving, he put the "phony" dol.
lars in sack and thrust them into
his pocket. In the city Durham met
Sutherland, whom he claims to have
known for several years, and handed
his friend one of the counterfeits, at
ton.
According to both Burnham and
Sutherland, the attempted passage Of
the counterfeit money was all In the
nature Of a Joke. Some of the stuff
was found in the possession Of both
when the arrest was made.
This Is the story told by the arrested
men, but the secret service people are
inclined to take a more serious view
OF the matter. Both St. Paul and Min
neapolis have lately been flooded with
lead dollars, rather poorly made, with
the date 1891. These were the kind
found In the possession Of the men ar
rested, and a search will be made for
the plant.
Commissioner Spencer fixed Burn
MANS bonds at $1,000 and his compan-
ion at $1,000. Both, in default were
committed to the county jail at Min
neapolis to await the action of the
grand jury.
