ALLEGED CoUNTDRFEITERs
One of the most important arrests
ever made here was effected this morn
ing, when S. w. Smith and Thomas
FaSin, white men, were taken into Gus
tody on q charge OF counterfeting.
| 1T has been noticed for some time
that there have been in circulation
hereabouts large number of counter
1elt quarters and nickels, so we'll
made, however as almost to defy de-
lection on the part of the ordinary
handler OF coin
| Chief HARDWOOD set himself to work
TO spot the makers of the spurious
coin, and his suspicion fell on Smith,
who lives on Lafayette avenue, in a
quiet, unpreteNtious looking house. A
secret service man was brought here
q couple OF weeks ago to investigate,
but failed to confirm the suspicion
about Smith and returned to Wash
ington. The local authorities. how
ever, continued to shadow Smith, and
yesterday obtained evidence connecting
him with the counterfciting. Chief
Harwood wired to Chief Wilkic. in
Washington, and Chief Wilkie immedi-
ately sent r.. S. Brown, one. of his
agents. here. Brown and Police Ser
gcant Mitchell this morning arrested
Smith, who. upon the finding of dies
for quarters and niclicls in his house
lconfcssed. a little later Fagin was ar
rested on suspicion of being an accom-
plicc. Fagin. however. did not con-
TESS. and the extent OF the evidence
lagainst him is not known at this
time.
