MADE BAD MONEY
WAS SENTENCED FOR
 CONTEMPLATING.
o. M. Mooney of Cedar Hun, Was Given in Anniston a Seven Years
 Sentence for that
 GHsSmse

Anniston, Nov s.--(Speciak)--U entering a plea of guilty in two counts of an indictment against htm in the Federal Court for counterfeiting, C.. McDavtd Mooney, a. skilled mechanic of Cedar Bluff, Cher6keez County, Ala. was on Wednesday morning given a sentence of seven years in the Federal prison at Atlanta and flned 1000. !.
 Mooneyseit Is. said, passed three of h is spurious homemade niclkles on Con- ductor McEachern of the Southern Railroad by way of settling for trans portation, and that seems to have been the beginning of his detection, as from that, transaction suspicion was first directed to him.
 These nicklesl were placed in the hands of Capt. JIM. Wright, agent for the United States Treasury Depart ment at Atlanta. The officer went to Moneys shop and searched the place, finding m0lds and metal, together with other things that furnished iucrimina- tion testimony against Mooney. who was then arrested and held for trial at this term of the United States Cir cult Court.
 After his arrest By Captain Wright. 1t developed Mooney had showed two raised bills on his neaghbbr, Wyatt Wood, for $50 each. The bills were of the $10 denomination, but had been raised by an artful sch eme to $50 each. The trick was cunningly done, and no ordinary person would detect the de- oeption; new and higher figures had adroitiy been glued over the old ig- ures so neatly that detection was prac- tically impossible. except by-an ex-' port.
 In fact, Mir Wood had not suspected the bills which Mooney had passed on him until after sMooney was arrested on a charge Of counterfeitIng. This led to an examination, which disclosed the other fraud. He denied this charge.
