GANG ROUNDED up
BY ELMER GORMON
But One Of the Men Takes
Poison and Dies in the Pres
ence of the Young Secret
Service Officer.
CROOK SUICIDES FOR
GOOD OF HIS FAMILY
One of the Men, Thought to Be
the Chief of the Gang, Is
Ninety-one Years Of Age
and an Expert.

Elmer o. Gormon, of Detroit. Mich,
secret service agent. formerly of this
city and son of Superintendent of Po-
lice |. A. Gormon, was the principal
factor in rounding up notorious gang
of counterfeiters at Port Huron, Mich,
recently. 1t was largely through the
former Richmond mans excellent work
and keen detective ability in following
up clues which eventually led to the
detection of the culprits and their ul-
innate arrest.
The man who is believed by the po-
lice to be the former chief of the gang
is John Mack, ninty-one years OF age.
He was arrested by Mr.. Gormon and
is alleged to have taught the other
members of the gang the tricks of the
counterfeiters' trade. about twenty-five
years ago. After obtaining sufficient
evidence to justify the arrest of Frank
Mitts, q pupil Of Mack's, Mr.. Gormon
visited the home Of the alleged coun-
terfeiter and notified him Of his err
rand, at the same time telling the man
that he was under arrest. Mitts asked
to be excused for moment, to "get
his hat as he said.
Calmly Met His Death.
When the man returned he told Mr..
Gormon that he wouldn't need to both
er to take him to jail, as he had TAX
en- cyanide OF potassium to save his
two daughters Ia Detroit from the dis
grace that would follow his r0hylctfoa
and sentence to prison. Mitts, after
shaking hands with Detective Gormon.
died within few minutes.
The outfit OF the counterfeiters
which was seized consisted of the
moulds for the making of Canadian
half dollars and dimes and American
half dollars, quarters, dimes and nick
els, q quantity OF lead and tin. acid
and q number OF unfinished coins. Ac-
cording to Detective Gormon, the coins
that were made were as good as pro-
fessionals could have done, and the
outflt, although rather crude, was per-
feet.
So far the police have been unable
to obtain a confession from Mack.
However, he is believed to have been
the man who taught the counterfefters
the trade in view of the dying state
ment made to Mr.. Gormon, to the ef-
feet that he wished he had never met
John Mack.

Catch Fish by Electricity.

Fishermen along the line Of the In.
dianapolis. Columbus & Southern
Traction Company have found a new
and very effective way OF fishing.
The method Is to hook wire into
the traction company's trolley and let
the end OF It fall into stream. The
water is thus charged with electricity
to the extent that the fish are killed
or are so stunned that they come to
the surface. when they are gathered
into boats.
Many fish are being taken I'm this
way along the traction line and the
fishermen believe that they are with
in the law, as the method employed
does not come under the head of
dYnamiting.-New York Herald.
