of these all-silver counterfeits were
being freely circulated in New York

Chief Wilkie great deal of trouble.

9C0 fine, and fairly we'll made, they
readily passed wherever presented, and
rendered extremely difficult the task
OF locating the makers and passers.
Chief Wilkie said Saturday that the
gang probably was responsible for at
least 80 per cent. of all the silver coun-
terfeits which have been put in cir
culation in New York during the last
