The letter In question pointed out what
seemed to be a crime in process of eXecu-

was not to be ignored. 1t was turned oNei
to me, and 1 went to work on the case.

With this information the Brazilian con-

and he pronounced 1t duplicate OF the

with request that this government take

~. From the engraving firm l leaned that
White had reached st. Louis May % and
had asked for a price on the work he
wanted done. He said he was going to
New York and would return In a few
weeks. He kept his word and closed the
negotiations for the front plate. These
negotiations were under way two weeks
before they were finally closed. and after
the contract had been signed White disap-
peared.
1t would have been an easy matter at this
time to have confiscated the plate; but it
was always the plan of the service to Sc
cure the guilty ones well to destroy
the product. I had description of White
from the engraver with whom he had made
the contract. and, depending on it's being
correct, I believed l could pick out my
man when he returned to the city. From
this time strict watch was maintained on

for the front and another for the reverse
side. To one versed in the ways of coun-
terfeters, however, any claim based on
this fact was vapid and conveyed a mean
ing much different from that accepted by
the uninitiated.
1 Immediately came to the conclusion that
the men who were planning to initiate the
Brazilian currency had made contract
with one firm for the front plate and i'm
pressions printed from 1t and with another
firm, probably in another city, for the plate
and impressions of the reverse side. 1t was
then their plan 1 believed, to split the sur
face from front impression and one from
a reverse impression, paste the two to-
gether, trim the connected note, and there
by produce a note that would challenge the
mnutest examination. Such a process
seemed almost impossible to any one who
had never seen 1t successfully carried out
1 Immediately recalled the operations along
this line of pete" Mccartney. Years be-
fore the government had given John S. Dye,
editor of a publication devoted to the de-
lection of counterfeit money, permission to
print from the genuine plates facsimiles of
government notes, diverse and reverse, SO
that detectives and bank tellerS could COM
pare the genuine with the counterfeits. The
facsmiles were printed on heavy paper,
which, it was thought, could in no way be
used for any unlawful purpose. But 1t re-
manned for the adept Mccartney to show
the government officers thing they had
not reckoned on. Mccartney bought copies
of the publication, carefully pared off the
surface of the facsimles, pasted them to-
gether deftly back to back and produced
i@counterfeit note engraved from government
plates which would pass muster at almost
any bank tellers window. McCartney's
trick was discovered in time and the Incl
dent was fastened In the mind of every
counterfeit money detector in the country.
| This believed to be the plan of the man
who had ordered the Cigar box labels"
The fact that the st. Louis firm had the
| contract for the front only convinced me
that the conspirator was man who. If not
/ a professional at the trade, had carefully
studied the methods Of the most expert
manufacturers of counterfeit money.
