REGISTERED LETTER CAUSES ARREST
OF DARING BAND OF COUNTERFEITERS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The big
part that a receipt for a registered
letter played in the breaking up of a
daring band of counterfeiters, which
operated over a large section of the
country, came to light today at the
treasury department when Chief
Flynn, of the, secret service division,
gathered up the loose ends of the
story. In consequence of the find
ing of the receipt in the possession of
one of them, three men are under ar
rest. They proved to be old Offend
ers and have long prison terms in
prospect.
Several weeks ago Chief Flynn re-
ceived word of the appearance Of a
new counterfeit $40 gold certificate.
not particularly well executed, but
still good enough to have been ac-
cepted by number of persons in
Buffalo. A few days later the same
sort of $40 certificate made it's ap-
pearance in New York, and then in
rapid succession in st. Louis and
Cincinnati.
The New York office of the secret
service, after days of stalking, finally
arrested a boy who had bills in his
possession and who said they were
given him to pass. The boys de-

scription of the giver led to John
Furnan, alias Frank ~Lascero, alias
Dominick Greico. In searching Fur
mans rooms they discovered a receipt
for a registered package addressed to
the daughter of Ed Westcott, of Chi
cago, who had been in the tolls in
1908, and had served part of ten
year sentence for counterfeiting.
While the New York office of the
service waited and finally arrested
Furnan, Flynn sent a telegram to
Chicago to lookup Westcott. Con-
fronted by agents, Westcott con-
fessed; said he had made 400 of the
bills and that he had given half of
them to Furnan, 100 to man named
Merrill and kept about 100 himself;
Merrill walked into the trap set for
him a short time later and proved to
be an old acquaintance of the service,
known before as Otto Allen, of Peo-
ria. Merrill had been out on the
road disposing of the bills and
brought back with him only AZ.
When Furnan was arrested he had
1856 bills. If he hadn't sent the reg
istered package to Chicago Chief
Flynn might yet be looking for the
others in the gang and probably
would have heard from half dozen
more cities

refuge in the home of a priest and
confesses to him, under the sacred
seal of secrecy that he has slain
the priests brother. The wife of that
brother is in the rectory at the time,
and while the slayer is still there the
police enter to tell the priest of the
tragedy. The manner in which the
priest handles the situation, control
ling his own natural emotions and
maintaining inviolate the secrets of
the confessional, gives to the act a
dignity and character which raise it
decidedly above the standard of the
average dramatic product of the
vaudeville.
