MILLS CAPTURES
EXPERT RAISER
Splits and Doctors Genuine Bills to
Give Them Much Higher
Denomination.
AND HE HAS HORNY HANDS

A $50 bill and IS bill we're con-
verted into 500 by Mike Pit
teniccshio by a new and original
process.
Mike was trailed and captured by
Hugh Mills of Omaha, government
secret service agent. The capture
took place in Des Moines and Pit
teniccshio is now in Jail under
$4,000 bond.
The man did his work with an artistic
finish worthy OF more honest end.
He took genuine $50 bill and split
the face from the back. Then he took a
genuine IS bill and split It's face from its
back. Next he pasted the IS back on the
back OF the $50 face. He took certain
other figures and letters from certain
other bills of small denomination and
pasted rfem in proper places on the IS
back in order to make II look like the
real back of his $50 bill.
Then he took the back OF the genuine
$50 bill and pasted It on the back OF his
real IS bill and 'doctored" II up with a
few figures and letters cut from other
genuine bills.
BY this process he made about $40 on
each transaction. He passed six Of the
bills before Mills captured him, together
with his whole outfit. He Is handed
fellow with stubby fingers and calloused
palms. says Mills, and apparently little
fitted TO do the wonderfully delicate
work involved in splitting bills apart and
fitting them together with paste,
