IS TAKEN TO NEW YORK
Leader of Famous Catskill Gang Held
in $4,000 Bail For Making
Plates For Enormous Issue
Of Bogus Money.

Philadelphia, Jan. 13.-Guiseppi Cal
llchio. said by the police to be chief OF
the famous Catskill gang OF counter
feiters. many of whose members have
recently been apprehended by the po-
lice Of New York city. was arrested at
STAFFORD. along the main line of the
Pennsylvania railroad, and taken TO
New York. Callichio, the police say,
designed and made the plates for the
recent enormous fraudulent issue OF
81 and s. notes He was placed under
$4,000 bail in New York.
For FIVE months Callichio, who, the
secret service men say. has for years
been hunted by the police Of Europe
and America, lived quietly In the sub
urb on the main line. only fifteen miles
from Philadelphia with the family OF
his cousin. Most OF that time the Sc
cret service men knew 1t. but said
nothing. lest Il alarm certain others
OF the gang. whose trail the police OF
New York we're closely following. Only
Tuesday Chief Matthew Griffin, Of the
Philadelphia secret service Office, re-
ceived word from the Manhattan po-
lice that the three of the gang for
whom they had been searching had
been captured by Italian members OF
the force.
Secrecy as TO the arrest OF the al
legged leader became no longer neces-
sary. Callichio lived a quiet life In
straford. saw very few people, though
II is said he had recently begun to
arouse the suspicious OF some Of the
Italian residents because he had no
visible occupation Nothing incrimi-
mating was found IN the STAFFORD
house
Less than three months ago several
others OF this same gang were arrest
ed at Pittston. Pa. and clews were
then unearthed which finally led to the
finding Of Callichio.
Callichio and most Of his band are
said to be Scillans After serving
terms in Jail at home. the secret ser
vice men say, he found his way to this
country to associate with the manu-
facture Of fraudulent notes. In his ca
pacity Of an expert engraver.
The issue OF counterfeit notes, In
connection with which the band was
ARRESTED. has alarmed the treasury
oficials more than any bogus issues in
many years. Government agents have
been securing the country for evil
dence. The paper was issued In de-
nominations of 81 and s.. though how
much Of It has been circulated none
can tell.
