| FARMER AID SON
ARE both HELD ON
COUNTERFEIT CHARGE

Arraigned before Federal Commits
| sioner Colquitt Carter Friday on
counterfeiting charges, James Hen
ry Smith, aged Randolph county
farmer, broke down and told a SEN
sational story Of how he learned the
art from federal penitentiary pris-
cners while he was serving a term
for violating the dry laws, and how
he set up a counterfeiting outfit in
his country home near Warwick, Ga,
after his release and taught his
young son the business"
He was held under a $4,000 bond,
and was lodged in the Fulton Tower
in default. His son, Harvey C.
Smith, is in Jail in Albany in default
of $1,000 bond under a similar
charge. Complete outfits were found
in possession of father and son, H.
B. Arnold, secret service operative,
testified.
The elder Smith was nabbed by
the secret service sleuth at Benevo-
lence, Ga, early Thursday mornig,
and was brought to Atlanta later
in the day. The SON was apprehend-
ed in Albany two days before and
was given a preliminary hearing be-
fore the federal commissioner in
that city.
"Smith made only nickels and sill
yer dollars" Officer Arnold testi-
fled. He declared babbitt metal was
used, and exhibited a large amount
of the metal which he said was taken
in the raid on Smiths home.
In addition, plaster of paris, coin
moulds tin, and various other equip
ment was confiscated, the agent
stated. In Smiths possession were
a large number of bogus nickels and
silver dollars, he said.
Commissioner Carter after closely
scrutinizing the counterfeit coins, re-
marked "the limitations are very
crude-a man couldn't pass that lind
of money on me-"
Smith is of sallow complexion, with
dark gray hair and blue eyes.
He broke down and cried when ref
erence was made to the charges
against his Young son.

missioner "They sent me up in De-
cember. 1919, for making liquor. My
time was UP last October, and l went
straight back to my home.
while L was in the penitentiary,
associated with several prisoners
who were doing time for counterfeit
ing, and they showed me how it was
done. So when I got out, I decided
