MAN AND WIFE ARRESTED
AS $40 COUNTERFEITERS
Mr.. and Mrs Max Silver Accused of Putting Out Skill
fully Made Bill That Even Deceived the
Banks-Operations in Brooklyn.

Fedora, Secret Service men believe
that in thu arrest OF a cigarmaker and
his wife erraigned in Brooklyn yester-
day they have made progress toward
solving the mystery OF the exceptionally
deeeitful cSunterfeit $40 Federal Re-
serve notes OF which many thousand
dollars worth have been put into circu-
lation in New York since July. The
notes are such good limitations that
banks have been deceived by them de-
spite Federal Reserve warnings and
have passed them along as real money
The couple arrested are Max Silver
and his wife of s66 New Jersey avenue,
Brooklyn. Before United States Com
missioner Henry D. Barmore they were
charged with possessing and passing
counterfeit SEQ bills. The man was held
in $4,000, his wife in $4,000 bail for
examination next Tuesday. A surety
company gave bond and they were re-
leased.
Capt. John s. Tucker, chief of the
New York division of the Secret Ser
vice, said that the bogus Federal Re
serve notes began appearing at Coney
Island in July and spread over the city.
They were especially numerous in
Brownsville. Ii Is alleged that on Tues
day Mrs. Silver offered one of the bills
in payment for small purchase in q
bakery in Blake avenue. The baker
refused to take it. and followed Mrs
Silver when she departed. She went
into the fish store of David III. Orner at
"a Blake avenue. A Secret Service
agent had been talking with Orner only
short time before, and the fishman
knew just how to tell a bogus bill from
a good one. Mrs. Silver tried to pay
for two pounds of good fish with q bad
$40 bill The fshman notified the
