Charges Against a Washington
Traction Company Employe-
F. d. EnsIey, the Accused Conduc-
tor, Admits Having Sold the Coun-
terfeits, and Says They were

A systematic scheme for defraUding the
Washington Traction Company by means
of counterfeit tickets was revealed this
afternoon when Detective sergeauts
Browne and Lacy concluded an extensive
investigation Of the affairs Of that cor
poration under the direction Of George
H. Harries, Wee President and General
Manager of the company. and secured
from Frederick Daniel Engiey, a con-
ductor on the Metropolitan Railroad, a
confession involving himself and his
brother, Samuel Engley.
The extent of the losses to the com
pany has not yet been estimated, but it
is said that the counterfeit tickets have
been turned in by the conductors for some
time. About four weeks ago the &c: eral
manager of the company requested that
Detective Sergeants Browne and Lacy be
assigned to the case on account of their
particular fitness for the work in hand
The detectives devoted the greater part of
their time to the case ever since, and
sifted the matter until they were conf
dent that EngIey was the man who had
been circulating the tickets.
This morning a decoy was placed on
Engley's car and he succeeded in buying
several slips of the counterfeit tickets
The matter was reported to the officers of
the road and the general manager of the
company. accompanied by the two detec-
tiyes boarded Engley's car at the Capt.
tot this afternoon, and when it reached
the barns at East Capitol and Fifteenth
Streets he was taken into the Office and
accused of the crime He did not attempt
to deny the matter, and said that the
tickets were made In England. and that
they had been brought to this country by
his brother, Samuel Engiey, who resides
about a mile beyond HyattsviIIe
The detectives went to Engley's house
and found in his trunk twenty-six sheets
of the tickets, each containing six tick
cts. The tickets are almost an exact dgp-
Hcate Of the genuine. but the ink with
which they are printed is a darker green
than that used in the genuine tickets
Engley said the supplies we're kept at
the home of his brother, and about 1:so
O'Clock this afternoon ne was taken in a
hack and in company with the two detec-
tives and representatives OF the company
on a search for the other bogus tickets
