New Britain Men Held On Conspiracy Charge
 After Trail Is Follow

" and Feeney Take Wrinkle Into Custody and CianflOne Is Placed Under Arrest in New York.

One of the most extensive counter feiting conspiracies to be uncovered in many years was brought to light this afternoon with the arrest of Jacob Wrinkle, president of the New Britain Window Cleaning company. by Detective Sergeant William F. , McCue and Policeman Thomas J. Feeney on a charge of conspiracy to counterfeit. The arrest is the result of a three weeks investigation made by the local police in connection with the federal authorities.
