coUNTERFEITERs ORGANIZED
Eastern Pennsylvania Has Been Flood
cd With Spurious Coins.

Gu WIN OkNffSNc
Phoenlxvllle, Pa, Dec. 19.-That the
counterfeiting plant found In the for
eign colony here was but part Of the
outfit of a we'll organized band OF
bogus money makers, who have food
ed eastern Pennsylvania with spurious
coins Is now the belief Of the secret
service men who are working on the
case.
The latest development was the
Identification OF a man arrested u
Coatesville as Leon Ruplewsh
brother of William Ruplewski, who
vas arrested in Philadelphia, and in
whose home was found a counterfeit
er's outfit
On the person of the man arrested
In Coatesville was found about six
pounds Of money in coins from 5 to %
cents in value. He gave his name as
John Roberts, and a railroad ticket
found on him established his home in
Pboenixville. He was identified as LeoI
a1plewski. He later admitted that this
|Ss his name.
He had been arrested in Coatesville
Tor disorderly conduct, and when nc
was searched money in small denomi
nations was found in all his pockets
and in the folds of a handkerchief he
had tied about his neck. There were
s42 in dimes, $1,000 in nickels and 80
in quarters. All of the money was
good, and the police theory Is that 1t
was secured in exchange for bad quar-
ter dollars, which the Ruplewskis are
believed to have made.
The Ruplewskl brothers are well
known in Phoenixville and are potters
by trade. 1t was William Ruplewski,
It is said. who made the molds for the
counterfeit money and baked them in
the oven Of his mothers home. Leon
Ruplewski has local police record as
a petty thief.
