through the reaches Of New Bedford

MADE: BAD
MONEY PASS
FOR GOOD
HAMON, ENID COUNTER
FEITER, IN FEDERAL
JAIL HERE

Martin L. Hamon, arrested at Enid
charged with counterfeiting SIC notes
on the Union National bank OF
Chandler when arraigned before the
United States commissioner, waived
preliminary hearing and was re-
manded to the federal Jail here. He
will be tried at the January term OF
court which begins in Guthrie, with
Judge Cotteral presiding.
1t is said that HamOn will not
fight the case. In fact, he says he
has nothing with which to fight. The
secret service man who made the
arrest said today that HamOn worked
at the manufacture of the Chandler
bank notes during the night in a
five-room cottage in a secluded
neighborhood. There he spent hours
in photographing and preparing plates
and printing The notes were always
mailed on the train and sent to ST.
Louis for distribution.
Hamon said he got only one-fourth
of each ten dollar note He was
pcnniless so far as officers could
ascertain. Hamon had worked as d
harness maker in a local hardware
store at 81 per week. He created no
suspicion among his fellow workers
and no one suspected him engaged in
counterfeiting. The few neighbors
near his house thought him a bache-
lor and he aroused no suspicious
among them. His house contained
nothing except the plant. Agent
Tyrell pronounced the outfit to be
the most complete that he mad ever
seen in this part of the country A
fine camera produced a negative OF
the bill and the chemical etching
process on zinc made the plate from
which kills were struck.
The bills passed readily even among
banks. The approach Of the Christ
mas season caused Hamon to start
up the plant. the officers say. because
il is easier to pass out spurious 4
money in a rush season. For THAI
reason the counterfeiter gets in his
work among the small store owner
