1O-YEAR-OLD Barred
SLAYER, NOT MOTHER
Both Freed at Belmar, N. j., When
Grand Jury Hears of Cutting
in Fathers Defense.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BELMAR. N. j., December 14.-Ray-
mond Kugler. 10-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. George Kugler of West Bel
mar, today was revealed as the slayer
of William Studeman, his mothers
friend, to which killing the mother con-
fessed last October. She was released
from Jail only Thursday, when the
grand jury heard the boys story ana
refused to indict her. 1t also released
the boy.
Prosecutor John j. Quinn today ad-
nitted that Raymond had confessed
stabbing Studeman with knife when
he found him beating his Cthe boy'S
father with an ak handle. He said he
thought he had cut Studeman in the
arm, whereas in reality Studeman's
jugular vein was severed. Mrs. Kugler
confessed to shield the boy, she said
Raymond himself confessed immedi-
ately after the killing, but his mother
insisted his story was not the truth.
The grand jury dismissed the case
against the boy, considering his action
justified after he had told of seeing his
father on the ground, unconscious, and
the 6-foot-tall Studeman pounding at
his head with tho ak handle.

OF COUNTERFE|T|NG
Police Raid Old Barn in Capt.
- toll Heights, Selling
Contents.

A raid late yesterday by eleventh
precinct police on supposed storehouse
for liquor brought to light what is
thought by secret service operatives to
be counterfeiter's laboratory.
In an old and apparently unused barn
just a few feet this side of the Mary
land State line in Capitol Heights were
found copper plates, which they believe
were for the printing of bogus money.
Three men were arrested, their hands
covered with green ink. The police re-
ported they were found working on half
of split $40 bill.
They are being held without bond
while a thorough investigation is made
by the Secret Service. One operative
said last night that he did not think
any of the counterfeit money had been
put into circulation, but that the trio
were merely experimenting with plates,
trying to produce one that would print
good likeness of a genuine Treasury
note.
The three that are being held gave
their names as Joseph Harris, 49, a
mechanic; Walter Harris, %, plumber,
and Roy Harris, %, an electrician, of
the 1900 block of H street northeast.
The first two men are brothers and
live in the barn, but the last named
is not related to them.
At the same time the counterfeiting
apparatus was seized, the officers found
more than 80 gallons of alleged beer.
gallons of alleged wine and a large
number of elLpty bottles and cans OF
malt syrup.
Only two copper plates were found
in the barn. but Roy Harris is said
to have told the police that several
days ago he threw one in a nearby
creek because it did not suit him and
that there are others secreted around
the place.
The raid was made about 4:30 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. Acting on a tip
that a quantity of liquor was about to
be delivered to the barn. Policemen
George F. Newton, S. r. Mckee, r. j.
Walters and j. E. Bennett went to the
place IN two automobiles.
