Ballard had a comfortable residence
at No. 225 West Fifty-third street, and
here was supposed to be painter He
left home every morning at seven
o'clock to go to the carriage factory,
in which he was interested, but instead
of going there he went to No. 256 Riv-
ington street, where his brother John
lived, and where the cOunterfiting
plant was located. The neighbors at
No. 256 Rivington street believed Bal
lard to be a Waterman in the custom
house, and he left there regularly in
the evening to go ito work." but in
reality went home. He lived this dual
life without detection for years.
The government at that time had a
contract with the Glenn mills, at West
Chester, Pa, for it's entire output of

being run under supervision of govern
ment officials to prevent the paper or
the secret of it's manufacture being
stolen Ballard, in addition to being a
high-class engraver was the only man
IN the world who could successfully

mills AS an engraver, chemist, paper

that no accurate description Of the man
who had passed it could be obtained.
The cashier of the bank at Portage
wrote that he had received the bill from
q man about As years old, nearly six feet
tall and with dark, full beard. He
looked like a well-to-do farmer, the
cashier wrote, but further than this the
description was hazy. A somewhat SIM
liar general description, except as to the
color of the beard and altogether more
definite, came from Parsons. l sent
Operative Kennoch to ST. Louis and
Louisiana to pursue the investigation
there
While these things were happening
l received word through the United
States marshal at Springfield, ILL.,, to the
effect that deputy sheriff at Vandalia,
ILL.,, had arrested man for trying to
pass a 500 counterfeit bill at the Farm
ers' and Merchants national bank in
the latter city. This bit of news, con-
sidered in connection with the rapidly
occurring events of the days previous,
was decidedly important, and lost no
time in getting to Vandalia. found
that at all, bearded, farmer looking

bill to David Palmer, Of the local bank,
and that Palmer had declined to accept

been received by the officers before
we left the hotel covering any possible
emergency that might arise. The night
was very dark and high wind blew,
suiting our purpose we'll.
With each man at his station, I
raped at the front door softly, one Of
the deputy marshals who was recon-
mended for his GOODNESS and bravery
at my back. There was no answer and

avoid waking the men sleeping up
stairs. Still there was no response,

Robinson came to the woor. Without
opening it he asked:
who's there?"
"The child is worse" answered.
At this he opened the door carefully,
but wide enough to enable me to get
my foot through the opening and force
a quick entrance. The deputy at my
back was as dependable as had been
told he was, for he followed instruc-
tions to the letter, pressing in behind
me and taking Robinson off my hands
so that could be free to go after the
others. In a flash he had Robinson
under cover of his revolver, and threat
ened him with death if he made any
cutlery.
The taking of Robinson had occurred

Frank Conway. One of his daughters
had married Malcolm Robinson and an
otner had married his brother Clate,
both Of the husbands then being IN
prison for counterfeiting offenses.
The further identification OF Conway
was simple matter. | found he had
affiliated with counterfeiters for many
years, and in 1876 had been arrested
for horse stealing and convicted, car
rying lis case to the supreme court.
After securing his freedom on bail he
had disappeared from his Wisconsin
haunts. He had been an associate OF
the mysterious Watson brothers, and
had visited them at their farm at Clear
lake. Further than this he had been
closely connected with band OF 'kO-
HACKERS" that made headquarters IN
st. Paul. In short, the connection be-
tween the "Watsons," Conway, the Bos-
cObel gang and the st. Paul counterfeit
ers was found to be very close, al
though the theft of the team of horses
in Watseka county, Minnesota, was the
only fact discovered that could be used
against Conway at the forthcoming
trial
The defense of Conway at the trial
was that Charles Scott" whom he sub
poenaed, had given him the bill. Scott
testified to this fact Conway admitted
he had been arrested, and said after bis
arrest he had come to Chicago and then
gone to New York, assuming the name
OF L. c. Lavaree. He remained in New
York a year, he said, and then returned
to Wisconsin.
His defense awaited him nothing and
he was sentenced to serve five years. In
the meantime the case in Parsons,
Kan, had been made and he served
another five years for that offense.
Subsequently he was given another five
years for horse stealing.
With Conway Settled" in the peni-
Tertiary an investigation was made to
determine the identity of the wat
sons" While it had not been proved,
there was little doubt that Conway had
gone east for the purpose of establish
ing a connection with one of the bands
Of counterfeiters which infested the
Atlantic seabOard, that he had formed
such connection and that he had un-
dertaken to shove" some of the CO.
ney" that was being issued by them.
To secret service man it was also
clear that such man as Conway, who
had never been east before his arrest
for horse stealing, could not have
formed such a connection without TAX
ing with him first-class references from
counterfeiters in the west who were
well acquainted with the more promi-
nent men in that line in the east.
From all that could gather of Con-
ways record he had not been asso-
ciated before his eastern trip with men
in the west who were on close terms
with the eastern counterfeiting aristo-
Gratis. The high artistic character of
the 500 bills he had showed" in the
Mississippi valley was indication suffi-
cient that they had come from the
hands Of artisans of much skill. In
establishing the identity of the wat
son" brothers, therefore, we hoped to
to be able to determine who had placed
Conway in touch with the eastern coun-

To relate the details of this investi-
cation would consume more time and
space than | have at my disposal, and
| shall, therefore, state that the Wat
sons were found to have been the Bal
lard brothers-Thomas. George and
John. In all the annals of counterfeit
ing in the United States the name o.
Thomas Ballard must stand out most
prominent, and | shall take the liberty
of telling enough about this remarka-
BILE criminal character to give my read
ers some conception of his importance
in "koniacking" history.
First, let not the members of the
masonic fraternity be shocked when
say that Thomas Ballard, at the sum-
NIT of his success as counterfeiter,
was the master of Park lodge, A. F. &
A. NJ, in New York city. He came OF
good family, never smoked cigar nor
took drink Of intoxicating liquor,
was married to an estimable woman.
and, like many Of his kind was a model

York state in 1910, and learned the
trade Of fancy carriage painting. When
Is years old he went to work for Henry
Human, wealthy carriage builder of
New York city, and related by marriage
to Joshua D. Miner, a prominent New
York politician and city contractor.
Human observed the genius OF young
Ballard and induced him to learn the
trade Of banknote engraving, at which
he served four years.
Aided by Miner, Ballard obtained val
liable information from the engraving
department of the government. In 1862
Ballard produced for Miner and Henry
c. Cole plate of the one dollar United
States treasury. His next was plate
of the two-dollar bills of the National
Shoe & Leather bank, of New York.
From that he went to SO counterfeits

sic, the $40 bill of the Shoe & Leather

President TaIks Live stock.

Washington, May 2S-For the pur.
pose OF enlisting the sympathies OF
president Roosevelt in larger export
market for merican meats, F. ]. Hag-
enDarth OF Denver, president of the
National Live Stock Association, called
at the White House yesterday. So
great was the Presidents interest that
ne has promised to deal with the SUBJ
Ject in his next annual message to
Congress. and will take up other mat
tiers of vital Importance to live stock
men.
Nothing can compensate for the
loss Of market, except to get that
market back" said Mr. Hagenbarth to
the President. I'VE have lost more
than 100000, 900 annually for the last
three or four years in export market
for meats alone through commercial
misunderstanding that have resulted
in tariff retaliation against meat from
this country. Germany's discrimina-
ton has been the most severe, al
though the loss of the FreDSn market
/ s cost live stock interests $4O,OOO,-
900 annually.
The President encouraged Mr.. Hag-
enbarth to continue his explanation,
and then asked him what he proposed
as solution.
Reciprocity preferably, and IL we
can't get that, retaliation" replied Mr..
Hagenbarth. The President agreed as
to the remedy, although he thought
that reciprocity and retaliation could
both be adopted by the United States
"a reciprocal arrangement with coun-
tries that were disposed to be friendly
commercially. and saving the retalia-
tory methods for countries that were
inclined to treat the United States
with unfairress. He agreed with Mr..
Hagenbarth that the subject was one
that should go before Congress and
the people. and asked the president of
the live stock association to present a
brief that would inform him of the
associations position. Mr.. Hagen
barth promised to put the brief in the
Presidents hands by July 1st.

Chicago Strike Continues.

Chicago. May 2S.-Nothing devel-
oped to-day that would indicate an i'm
mediate settlement of the teamsters'
strike, which has been in progress
nearly two months. That the labor un-
ions are of the belief that the fight
will be long one was demonstrated
at the meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor to-day when arrange
ments were made for holding a strike
demonstration on July 4.
According to the present plans it is
the intention to hold monster parade
Of the strikers and the affiliated unions
unless the controversy has been ended
before that date At the meeting to-
day each union affiliated with the CEN
trail body was represented by three
delegates at the request of President
Dold.
The strike situation was discussed
In all its details and the sentiment of
the meeting was that the teamsters
should continue the fight until the
seven express companies should offer
some sort of compromise. The Off
Gals OF the express companies are still
obdurate in their declaration that no
concessions need be looked for from
their side, so the matter of settlement
through this channel seems as remote
as ever.
With over 1000 policemen and depu.
ties of the sheriff detailed on strike
Luty, the employers declare that dur
ing the present week they will be able
to demonstrate to the strikers that any
further continuation Of the fight will
be suicidal to the teamsters' union.
