81 Narshyille. this county, was ar
rested about $50 o'clock Saturday
night IN The All Nations saloon on
North Fourth street, IN Glen Elk, on
tie cllarge-ofs rsising United States
noney, ald-passing tile same. The
specific charge against him was the
raising Of a two-dollar silver certi-
iicate Of the two dollars denomma-
fion to twenty dollars.
The work was very crudely done
ciphers were cut from a calendar
and glued on all the corners Of the
eill and on either side, eight ciphers
in all being used. The smearing Of
the glue was so thick that it soaked
through the paper and colorcd the
eiphers, so that it was easy to see
that the bill had been tampered with.
sPhe implements used by Marsh
We're also found on him. They
consisted of box Of ROYAL glue and
small glue brush and a knife, ample
evidence to convict him, had he not
virtually admitted his guilt.
Marsh, accompanied by another
person, not yet identified, entered
the saloon, drank together and went
ont. Shortly afterward they re-
turned and Marsh asked the price
OF Il quart Of Overholt whiskcy. Be
ing told the price was $50, he told
The bartender to give him quart.
which the latter did, and Mar-s.
handed him the bill in question. At
once the bartender, L. NJ. Thayer,
noticed that the bill had been tam
pcred with. and he yelled to others
in front Of the bar: Grab that
MANI Then addressing himself to
Marsh he said: "You are the very
man | am looking for"
When the bartender asked thos6'ln
the saloon to grab and hold Marsh,
August Klimm, an employe at the
tin plate mills, took hold Of Marsh
and detained him, until Policemen
Nicholas Whyte and Henry Lewis
could be summoned and about the
same time they arrived at the saloon
United States Deputy Marshal r. y.
Hupp came along, and was inform
ed OF the incident. He took charge
of the case and the policemen
brought Marsh to the city lookup,
where he was held until $ o'clock,
when lie was taken before United
States Commissioner Thomas ).
Spates. who gave him a hearing and
f1esl his bond at $1,000. lie was
unable 10 give it and was committed
to jail to..,be taken to Parkersburg
Monday 70 await an Indictment by
the federal grand jury convenlng
there ON Tuesday.
The penalty upon conviction i
severe. The fine can be $4,000 and
the Imprisonment fifteen years N
the penitentiary.
Marsh is Young fellow, not more
than % or 80 years OF age. lie was
star witness in the celebrated Ocie
Goodwin murder case for the de-
fendant. and was one Of two who
swore they heard a noise along the
roadside as if some one were secret
inc himself in the weeds and bushes,
the purport Of this evidence being TO
show that some mysterious stranger
was lurking in the community and
that ii was probably a stranger who
committed the murder
Efforts will be made to identity
and apprehend the one WHO was
with Marsh, as it Is thought he was
an accomplice in raising the bill
1t Is thought Marsh and his asso-
ciate NAV also have been implicated
in the raising Of a similar bill passed
1t the Imperial saloon week prior
to MarSh's arrest.
The busiRess public should aPpre-
ciate the good work done by Mr.,
Thaver in bringing about the apprc-
hepsionlof Marsh. Many would
hau returned him the money, taken
the wllskey back and told him to
skip. Not 80 with Mr.. Thayer. He
felt that such a man at large was a
menace to the community and ne
acted promptly and wisely in having
Marsh arrested.
Marshal Hupp took Marsh to
Parkersburg on the accommodation
train Monday morning, ami his case
will doubtless be acted upon at the
term Of federal court beginning
there January 3.
