first looked astonished and then told the
fellow that the money was spurious. The
other man then told him that it was his
business to put the money in circulation.
Houchins then confessed being counter
feiter himself, and asked the other fellow
to help distribute the stuff. An agreement
was struck and Houchins made q confidante
Of his new friend. This was the cause Of
his undoing.

and the joint located, one stormy night

railroad station and then to a Federal pris-
