 it through fear, or for safe keeping. Anyway the information which she i'm, 1 parted to the police is sufficient, they claim, to ensure the capture of the oth- CT kit, and about o'clock this morn i ing they went out looking for it. 1 The women heard the men say that they were going to make an attempt to recover it this morning. She also heard ! one of them say, according to the po- lice, that the fluid which they were using, and which was the most import, ant factor in the manufacturing pro cess, had been obtained by some means i direct from the Russian government. l Of this they were very careful. ,Sae told the officer that she thought that the men were going to get out of town some time to-day and return to New York with the money which they had manufactured.
 As soon as Officer Hollinger heard the woman's story he sent immediately for Detective Frey, and when he arrived told him the facts. The woman then showed the officers the room where the men were asleep. The door was locked and the officers, drawing their reyol- yers, dashed it open and rushed into the room. The two men were in bed, but as they awoke they jumped out of bed and started to make a dash. The officers ordered them to halt or be shot and this command caused the men to- throw up their hands and surrender The compactness of the counterfeitIng kit can be judged when it was entirely packed in a dress suit case, the case being hidden under a lounge.
 The two men were taken to the police station in the patrol wagon. and Mrs. Tanduam then showed the officer exact ly how the kit worked, showing how closely she had watched them. s.
 This is the way she described the process: First of all, the men took two one-dollar bills and soaked them in wa ter. piece of wax paper was then cut the exact size of the bills and this was placed between the two good wet bills, after the face of the bills had been coated with a bllish fluid which the men took from a little bottle and ap- piled with tWos little soft brushes. (This is the fluid which the woman heard the men say came from Russia. ) The good bills Were then placed on either side of the paper, the edges be- ing even, and then by means of little press all three were pushed together They were then taken out and put around a little nickel cylinder with powerful electric battery in the center. The current was then turned on, and the cylinder, becoming hot fairly baked the bills. The bills were then taken out and the piece of wax paper then had ieyery appearance of splendid new dol lar, even the coloring of the silk from the good bills being shown in the fepro- duetion. as
 The good bills were, completely dried by the process and could then be use l over again immediately
 I When the men were searched several
 of the counterfeit bills were found in l their pockets. III addition to this they
 had considerable good money, including
 a $20 gold certificate s10 bills and bills l of other denominations. l The first man, who is regarded by | the police as the leader, said that his | name was Samuel Fastow and he gave 1 Sergeant Cook a business card on l which this name appeared and also | The Winchester Installment Co.

 among lot of other things, jewellers case full of cheap finger rings. In a lit 1 tie piece of paper was what appeared | to be an unset diamond but which. the
 owner finally acknowledged was noth-
 ing but glass. Fastow said that he4Was

 was William Gober; that he was forty
 years old that he was born in Russia; that he lived at 204 Ludlow street, New
 York city, and that he was an express
 man. He said that he never saw Fas-
 tow until two days ago, when he met him on train coming to this city. Co.,
 Der said that he was looking for work lat the time. This the police say is false and that the men have either been together in this city longer than that,
 or somewhere near here. ;,
 Fastow was dressed ,splendidly and
 the police believe that he has been making this money outside of New
 York and then passing it off in that
 city. ... 'f.@E"
