COUPLE MAY HAVE
MADE BOGUS COINS
Police Find Counterfeiting Tools
in Cottage Rented by Man
and Woman

OAKLAND, Sept. 3o.-Counterfeiters'
dies and burglars tools were found by
the police today in a bungalow at Six
teenth and Cypress streets, which was
occupied until lately by Henry L. Lewis
and Annie Flaegel. the man and woma n
now being examined on a charge of
robbing Dr. James Fer Don's house at
Sal Twenty-seventh street of $500
worth of valuabIes.
The secret service men have been
called upon by the police TO assist in an
investigat tion, and it is believed that
within a day or two many crimes will
be laid at the door of the couple who
posed as man and wife and took auto
mobile excursions while seeking houses
to rob.
The counterfeiting equipment was
found this afternoon. The cottage is
owned by. ]. FELTON, of West Oakland,
who rented It to Lewis and Mrs. Flae-
gel last June. 1t is said they kept a
room in San Francisco as well as the
Sixteenth street house They were ar
rested across the bay for the Fer Don
burglary and have been in jail since.
The owner of the Sixteenth street
place was notified today that his for
were III JAIL he gave up
keys to the place, which was entered
by Detectives Kyle and Drew. They
found dies for making coins and a
large number of other tools. A guard
was left at the house.
The tools were not removed, but this
evening Mrs. Flaegel was taken to the
cottage. She admitted that she and
Lewis had lived there. but both refused
TO identify any OF the tools as their
property.
The Fer Don house was broken into
last December, previous to the renting
OF the cottage. A few days after the
robbery the Fer Dons received a letter
which Mrs. Flaegel is accused of writ
ing, offering to return the stolen stuff
for a reward. In the loot was seal
skin sacque. which led to the capture
of the couple in a San francisco pawn
shop.

CLOSELY QUIzzED
Mrs. Dollar Faces Accused Pick
pocket in Cross Examination
in Police Court

OAKLAND, Sept 30.--Mrs- Hazel
Dollar. wife Of Robert Dollar. ship
ping man. and society woman of SAN
Francisco. was cross questioned in the
police court this morning by Gustave
A. johnson. whom she had charged
with picking her pocket of valuables
on a San Pablo avenue car several
months ago.
Johnson had retained Attorney Earl
Rogers as his counsel He misin-
formed the barrister as 10 the date OF
the preliminary examination. and
when Rogers did not show up today
the suspected pickpocket conducted his
own defense. He cross examined every
witness who was called and tried TO
break down two policemen as well as
the woman.
Mrs. Dollar was unable positively to
Identify Johnson, but she did identity
as her property a gold purse and a
watch. which had been recovered by
San Francisco detectives. She testi-
ned that man who looked like john
son leaped from the streetear after she
had been robbed. The defendant ques-
toned her sharply as to the weight
and height of men.
Mrs. Elizabeth Scott. mother OF Mrs.
Dollar. was positive in her identihca-
ton of Johnson as the man who stood
next TO Mrs. Dollar en- the car.
Policeman Ritter of the san Fran
cisco police force testified that Johnson
and his wife. with whom he was ac-
quainted, had called at his house and
left the recovered property to be rid
of IL. Johnson asked;
rs it not fact that you asked my
wife to go out with you and when she
refused you took this means of getting
even with us?'
Ritter said such was not the case.

acres of lowland in the Sacramento val
ley that was once the gift of the fed
