In Pen for C0unterfeiting

Charles Crawford, colored, accused
of counterfeiting, was found guilty
and sentenced to ten years in the

the counterfeit from the original.
Emory Duncan, 26, an accomplish
of Crawford in the passing off Of

given two years in the penitentiary.
The sentence of Crawford is the
