Deputy Marshal Sutterfield, who acs jmplished the arrests, has been making further investigations around the Blanchard home and has succeed ed in unearthing a number of addi- tional moulds. dies and tools used by the ccunterfeiters.

 Four additional moulds and two sets of dies are in possession of the ' wheel, geared to run at high speed and used to dress the coins to an even size. have been found, along with several pounds of pure nickle and SIS worth of counterfeit money. It is believed that still further search will reveal more evidence of guilt, and the hunt will be continued from time to time.

The officers searched as directed and were rewarded by finding the stuff as directed
 The mother of Dr. Blanchard de- clared that since the death of his wife her son had shown a>morbid tendency to deal in counterfeit money, and that all her efforts to persuade him to desist were futile. She declared that to protect her son the tools and eVi- dence of his guilt had been hidden by her and her husband after the boys arrest Both the old people denied any connection with the mak- ing of bad money or assisting in pass ing it.
