Secret Service operatives OF the
Treasury Department have rounded
up the gang OF counterfeiters who
flooded Eastern cities. including
Washington, with hundreds of $50 and
$50 spurious bank notes OF charac-
ter that fooled even. experienced bank
ers, IL was announced today.
Six arrests have been made and
plants in three localities have been
seized in one OF the most widespread
and determined hunts ever conducted
by the Secret Service. the latest ar
rest being at Lowell, Mass. where
George Hermanns was caught with
$4,000 worth OF the queer" in his
possession.
Eleven $50 and eight 500 counter
felt bills were passed in Washington,
several OF the notes escaping detec-
tion at local banks even after detail
of operatives had made the rounds of
the financial Institutions and apprised
the tellers OF the existence and nature
of the counterfeit money.
Bank TeIIers Fooled.
Incidentally, in the course OF edu-
cation of the tellers, the Secret Serv-
ice men were able TO have worthless
notes changed at the bank windows.
This system was used simply to i'm
press the tellers with the danger OF
overlooking a counterfeit note in the
rush of business.
The counterfeits were Photographic
reproductions and printed on an ex-
cellent imitation of Government pa
per, so that the Treasury officials are
not surprised that the .'phoney" bills
were not more easily detected. OFF,
cials are rather surprised that more
of the notes were not passed.
A veritable trail OF counterfeit bank
notes extended from Washington to
New England, and for this reason 1t
was more than ordinarily easy for the
Secret Service to trace those who
were Showing the queer" according
to Joseph Murphy. assistant chief of
the Secret Service. He said the men
Travelled in automobiles and represent
ed prosperous appearance, a fact
that aided them in allaying suspi-
cion

away for any length OF time" said
Chief Murphy today. "We had them
spotted almost from the start, and
our whole Eastern force was set
against them"
w. III. Moran, chief OF the Secret
Service, with the aid OF reports from
many cities in the East and maps
showing all the automobile routes to
the New England States, was able TO
outline a campaign and direct his
forces from Washington in such a
perfect manner that every move was
followed.
Arrests were made in connection
with the case in New York, Scranton,
Pa: Bridgeport. Conn, and Lowell,
Mass. The bulk OF the counterfeit
money was made In New York and
systematic plan to pass II through
out the country had been arranged.
The Secret Service is not yet ready to
divulge all the details OF it's inyesti-
cation, but Chief Moran is satisfied
that the gang has been broken up. al
though there may stIll be some Of ssse
counterfeit notes In circulation.
Barker Aided Seizure.
Capt. Harry l.. Barker, In charge
OF the New England district OF the
secret SerNICt, WINNIE uhuV' INV
tions from the central office at the
Treasury Department, was largely re-
sponsible for the final cleanup OF the
gang and the arrest of Hermann at
Lowell and the seizure of the $4,000
worth of bogus money.
When he received word that Her
mann was on his way to Massachu-
setts In a big touring car he dis
matched men TO all the principal
cities, his force being augmented by
operatives from New York. The po-
lice in the various cities were also
notified to be on the lookout and the
result was that Hermann was appre-
hended as he was driving into Lowell.
The Secret Service is much graft
fled over the quickness with which
the case was CLOSED" as the first
evidence of the existence of the new
counterfeits developed here only May
.. and in less than month the plot
to circulate thousands of dollars was
completely crushed.
