COUNTERFEITER
RUN TO EARTH
Andreas Winkelmann, Who
PrOfessed to Lead Christian
Life, Behind Bars of City Jail
DUAL CAREER IS ENDED
Employed During the Day as
a Draughtsman, and at Night
Manufactures Spurious Coin

Draughtsman by day and counter
feiter by night has been the dual life
led by Andreas Winkelmann, taken
into custody last night by Secret Ser
vice Operatives Hazen, McManus and
Foster and lodged in the City Prison.
Secreted in his room at 1915 Polk
street, where the arrest was made, was
found a complete plant for the manu-
facture of counterfeit half-dollars and
more than 5000 of the bogus coin.
Winkelmann. who is a member of the
Young Mems Christian Association Of
this city, has been under surveil-
lance for ten days and moved to the
Polk-street address two days ago. He
has been employed by Sylvan Schnait-
tacher, well-knOwn architect, as a
draughtsman, and among his acquain-
tances bore an excellent reputation.
Several weeks ago Secret Service
Agent Hazen was told that number
of skillfully made counterfeit half-dol-
lars had appeared in the city. The
Government detectives were at once
put to work and finally succeeded in
obtaining a clew to the identity of the
counterfeiter. 1t was deemed inadvts-
able to make the arrest until the plant
could be seized and accordingly every
last ten days has been watched.
Saturday Winkelmann secured the
room on Polk street, but there was
nothing in his demeanor to arouse sus-
picion. A trunk which appeared to be
very heavy was delivered by an ex-
pressman. The Government officers
determined to raid the room and ac-
cordingly swooped down on the place
last night. Winkelmann was found in
the apartment and placed under arrest.
The trunk was opened and was found
to contain everything essential for the
manufacture of the spurious coin and
400 bogus half dollars in various stages
of completion.
Winkelmann, who is German,
about q years of age, has resided in
this city for two years. He says that
three years ago he inherited 10000
marks as his share of a sisters estate.
He journeyed from his German home
to Mexico and there squandered all Of
his coin in high living. He became
member of the Young Mems Christian
Association last year and regularly at
tended the night classes in mechanical
drawing Secret Service Agent Hazen
said that Winkelmann had displayed
great skill in the manufacture of the
spurious coin and that the molds and
metal used showed ingenuity and ap-
plication.

BLAKE LOSES

Judge Morrow Decides That
Oral Contracts Cannot Be
Proved by Parole Evidence

The life of the celebrated $5. 900 O0o
suit brought in the United States Cir
cult Court by the Utah Nevada Com
pany against Joseph r. de Lamar was
very short. Judge Morrow announced
yesterday that he would sustain the
objection of the defendant to tho tea
timony of Isaac e. Blake with reference
10 an alleged oral agreement between
hiIlseI and De Lamar on April I, 1894.
by the terms of which De Lamar was

ia, on which Blake had an option, and

admission of parole testimony with ref
erence to this transaction on the ground
that an oral contract for the transfer
Oh realty could not be proved by parole
testimony and would be of no value.
Blake alleged that De Lamar had

$lO,OOO,OO0 was net profit

return a verdict for the defendant.

A similar suit was filed yesterday in
