rate, it was Washington's chief delight,
while he stayed with Clinton, to sit under
this tree for hours at time, looking out on
the river. The tree itself never attained
any great size, owing probably to the rock

Poster assisted by Chief OF Police
George Black; his cork. William schell 4
and Officer Gaynor.
For some time past the United States
authorities have been aware that
fraudulent money was being circulated
in Philadelphia, and acting on this
knowledge Chief John A. Wilhie. OF
the Secret Service. detailed Agents Fos-
ter and M. r. Griffin on the case. AS
a result OF their Efforts to locate the
counterfeiters, two money-maklng
mills. one in this city and the other in

ness. and at the same time screened
the real calling OF those who occupied

When the officers approached the
building tfey quIoi1ly entared, and, 8p-
ing upstairs, found Bragio Molearosa
better known as Mike Ross. In bed.
Molearosa informed the police that
he was sick and became exceedingly
frightened when told why the offl-
GERS had called upon him.
In the house besides Malearosa were
his wife and Nichola Dipace, and all
were placed under arrest
The outfit was found in the third
story front room, the door leading TO
the apartment having been forced open
after Malearosa refused to produce the
key. The room was fitted up like a
workshop. and exposed TO view all
kinds Of devices for the manufacture
Of spurious coin. On the floor we're

we're found lying about. Evidence OF
counterfeit nickel making also was
discovered. although it is not believed
that this branch OF the business was
conducted on a very large scale, atten-
ton being paid most to the manufac-
ture of dollars.
None OF the stuff was circulated in
this city. the method adopted to put it
on the market being TO send it out Of
town, principally to Philadelphia,
where eonfederates passed it upon the
unsuspecting merchants.
The mill in Norristown was operated
on the same basis, being a part OF the
plant here. and controlled by one gang.
The principal of the counterfeiters, it
is said, is a brother-in-law of Malea-
rosa, and he has been apprehended in
Philadelphia. The prisoners will re-
ceive a hearing before Judge Bradford
in the United States Court.
