PREACHER CONVICTED OF COUNTER
FEITING.

Rev. ). r. Kaye sent to Prison for Two
Years.
The friends OF Rev. James r. Kaye,
scholar, lecturer and former pastor OF
the Congregational church in Edgerton,
we're surprised to read in the Sunday
paper that he was on Saturday SEN
fenced to serve two years in the govern
ment prison at Leavenworth for having
made and passed counterfeit money.
The term was imposed by Judge j. Otis
Humphrey OF the federal court in
Springfield.
DR.. Hayes downfall came as a result
of the discovery, in house formerly oc-
cupied by him in Lincoln, Ill, of set of
molds for the manufacture of counter
felt money. He formerly was pastor of
the First Congregational church in Lin
take the molds with him.
Dies for casting dimes, quarters, half
dollars and dollars were found, together
with plate for printing dollar bills
Some of these were discovered in the
basement of the home which had been
abandoned by DR.. Kaye, and others were
discovered 10 an clubhouse on the same
premises.
DR.. Hayes contention at the trial was
that the dies were made for the purpose
of molding medals, to be given as re-
ward of merit in his Sunday school, and
that a coin was taken as the most con-
venient model. The counterfeits were
exceedingly crude, yet Cecil Kaye, IA
years old, son of DR.. Kaye, succeeded in
passing several of them on Lincoln
confectioner.
because the jury found me guilty
does not make me So" said Rev. Kaye,
when he was brought before Judge
Humphrey for sentence. There has
been too much said and too much done
in this case and the verdict of guilty is a
result. Whatever may be the sentence
of the court, l am glad to say at this
time that I am not guilty of counterfeit
ling. The molds were made for expert
mental purposes only
When the prisoner was brought before
Judge Humphrey he asked for writ of
supersedeas, but the court declined to
grant it, stating that it was impossible
"when there is no more doubt in my
mind than [ have in this CASE" 1t is
said that an appeal will be taken.
1t is believed that the family has con
siderable money, as DR.. Hayes receipts
from his lectures and newspaper writ
ings were large, in addition to his salary
of 81 100 from the Wheaton church. He
was prolific writer on religious TOPICS
and prior to his call to the Wheaton
church. and after he resigned his pastor
ate in Lincoln, devoted his entire time
to literary pursuits. He is now under
contract to deliver number of lectures.
while DR.. Kaye technically is guilty."
said G. j. Jones, one of the trustees of
the First church of Wheaton, 1--WE do not
hold him morally responsible. He ad
mitted to Us some time ago that he had
made the molds, but we were convinced
that he never intended to pass the coins
which came from them. His conviction
seems to be due largely to the fact that
his son is said to have passed some of
the counterfeits."
