 PROMOTE REVOLUTION
Continued from First Page.)

NCOItLllluSu l4olAl t14St I SSS.J ,r smanager of the orinoco Concession, capitalized at $5,OOOOOO, and controlling practically the entire Orinoco delta. It is charged that when Captain Boynton alleged revolution on foot he undertook Ito put in operation plan similar to that whereby the revolution against Dom Pedro in Brazil was said to have been tinanced-that of getting dies, buying bullion and turning out what silver coin was necessary. Later, if the movement proved successful, the issue could be legalized; if unsuccess- full, no one would be injured, 1t was fig ur9d as the coins were to be made of the same f1neness as those regularly coined by the government.
 In some way Captain Boynton met Lawyer Thompson, an old acquaint- ance, and interested him in the revolu- tion The captain said he wanted to find a man who would advance $10,000 with which to buy silver bullion, To such man, the captain said, the sum of $50,0O0 would be returned if the movement against Castro proved suc- cessful. Lawyer Thompson approached some men described asfsporting men. One of these called to see Chief Flynn and talked with hi mabout 1t. There is a federal law protecting the coinage of other nations, and Chief Flynn de- cided to investigate Through agents he gained the confidence of Captain Boynton, and to them the latter con- fided his plans. Dies were to be secur- ed in New York, and with $10,000 of sil- yer bullion they were to go to little place in the delta of 0rinoco and there coin the money. As soon as the $20O0O made from the silver bullion had been expended another purchase of $4O0OO of silver bullion was to be turned into $80,0O0 of Venezpelan money. With this money munitions of war. ships and other things necessary for a revolution were to be purchased, the captain de- clared
 Chief Hymns agents asked to see the dies and the captain acquiesced. When all seemed harmonious and working fa- vorably Chiefs Wilkie and Flynn ar rested Captain Boynton.
 The arrest was made yesterday aft ernoon Captain Boynton was then on his way to his friends office in lower Broadway to meet Chief Flysn's agent Under his arm was a package which contained two dies The dies were of wonderful workmanship and a perfect intaglio of the well known Boliver head dollar of Venezuela. Captain Boynton insisted that he was no counrerfeiter. He said his plan, which he candidly admitted, was merely the "war meas ure" common to all South American revolutions. He said he had no inten- ton to counterfeit the money in this | country.
 When searched $5,5O0 in American money was found in the captains pos session. In addition there was also found a receipt signed by Keller Broth CTS. showing S1,5OO had been paid In part for eight sets of dies, hubs, and devices used in milling the edges of coins.
 At the same time Chief Flynn and 8 number of his men searched the Kel- Ter establishment in West Broadway where the remainder of the dies and hubs were found Other secret service officers brought Lawyer Thompson to the secret service offices, where he and Boynton were edtained all night.
 This morning the mon were formally arrested, arraigned and released in $5,- 900 bali each.
 The two men, if convicted, may be sentenced to five years Imprisonment for attempting to counterfeit the coin 1 of friendly power.
 Later in the day warrant way sworn out against the two Keller
 brothers They were arraigned before l Commissioner Ridgeway and held ir $1, ,5OO cash bail for having the counter felt dies in their possession. They furnished the bah and were released Their attorney claimed they had re. ceived the order in the regular course 1 of business.
