COUNTERFEITED IN PEN
Pennsylvania convicts Occupied Their
Time Making Bad Money.
MsCoyERED BY THE INSPECTORS
There Is Belief That Certain Employees Who
DID fsvors for the Prisoners, Such as
Mating Letters, 10 Violation Of the Rules Of
the Institution, Were Given the Bogus
Money as Tips.

Philadelphia, Pa. (Special) .-Coun-
acrfeiting within the walls of the East
krn pententiary, where more than hall
score Of men are now expiating SIM
slar crimes, is the latest sensational de.
yelopment in the investigation that is
hcing made into the alleged loose meth.
Dds in the institution
Criminals, principally men who are
undergoing sentences for counterieiting
and II is believed at least one enploye
Ci the institution have been discov-
cred in a combination to manuiac-
tare and put into circulation a large
quantity of bogus dollars, half-dulars
and quarters.
1t Is known that large quantity OF
fhe coin is already in circulation in the
prison, but how much OF it has gone
outside is undetermined. Enough evil
ntnce has been established to show that
at least a dozen men are concerned in
abe conspiracy.
II was learned from man who was
released from the prison less than a
week ago that the discovery OF the
crime has been the sole topic OF dis
-cussion within the prison walls for
weeks past among prisoners as well as
employees.
That the conspiracy, bold in its CON
reption, daring in its execution. dis
playing a cunning that has so far baf
fed the secret service men, reveals a
criminal condition that is almost with
out precedent. is the view expressed by
prominent police officials to whom the
details are known.
According to the statements OF the
man referred to above, il has been ap-
parently established that the man who
is looked upon with the greatest suspi-
mon by the officials and the detectives
Is ]. c. Hoffman, the expert coiner,
who was arrested in this city in De
sember last for Showing the queer" in
Schuylkill county. A companion OF his,
who was arrested for the same ofense.
IS believed to be in the institution also
Another, whom the same informant
indicated was looked upon with sus-
picion is Bart Ruello. who is probably
the most notorious OF all 'coners."
In the same institution are members
Ui the notorious gang OF "coiners"
known as the Julian gang.
From statements made by this man it
was apparent that the knowledge OF the
connterfeiting conspiracy was known
throughout the prison for long time
A statement issued by the prison in
spector iniers the countericiting has
not been extensive. This is not believ-
ed rs the case.
There IS report TO the effect that
tve men were engaged in the work. the
head OF the counterfeters being Phil
zdelphian now completing his second
term for this offensc.
The others were professional crimi-
nails, who secured through the plumb
ing department OF the prison the nee
essary metal made OF solder. tin and
ground glass. The molds, it is belev-
ed, were made OF plaster OF paris scrap
ed from the walls OF cells. Some OF the |.
coins got into circulation, but in what
manner has not yet been fully deter
mined
