In the new Adams venture no two

In the new Adams venture no two
notes were exactly alike That Is,
each one had q separate serial num-
Der, unusual in counterfeiting. Also,
each note had other Improvements
over the old Adams craftsmanship.
Careful scrutiny at the Treasury and
the Bureau OF Engraving and Print
ing finally branded the source of sup
ply. Adams was the artist. When his
handiwork was again established the
Secret Service doubled back on his
trail They broke the case by ar
resting in Chicago one of Adams
numerous women paSSerS, caught with
a pocketbook full of the new notes.
She confessed the origin OF the coun-
terfeit bills.
As soon as the girl in Chicago was
sent to prison Secret Service operatives
caught others in their net-by watch
ing the personal columns in the news
papers. Adams would not write, tel
ephone or telegraph. He always in
serted an lad" when he wanted to
contact the girls. The Secret Serv-
ice started putting in some lads" of
game.
At this time Adams Travelled
through the Midwestern States with
q newly found female passer of Spuri-
Gus notes. She had done a good job
of organizing the women folk. supply
ing them with counterfeit-but they
were fast falling into the hands OF
the Secret Service. The Treasury
men had Adams and his women right
worried. So worried. in fact, that
Adams left himself wide open and
walked into a trap laid for him in
Chicago.
The day before he was to appear
for sentence Adams was taken from
the Federal detention camp by depu-
ty United States marShalS for final
interview with Secret Service agents
in the Federal Building, Chicago.
They wanted to have a heart -to-heart
talk with him and did. When they
finished they turned him back again
TO the custody of the deputy mar
shals. While the marshas we're re-
turning Adams to the Jail in patrol
wagon an automobile crashed into
the vehicle and Adams made his
escape.
THERE were some battling circum-

which Secret Service men are still

cuffed when he left the Federal Build
ing. Later they learned a deputy
marshal had permitted one of Adams
Sweethearts to accompany him back
to the jailhouse. She managed to
uncouple his handouts with hair
pin-a womans master key. So it
was the ingenuity of a girl as well as
an automobile accident that let Adams
loose again.
Adams worked his way to the West
Coast and back to the crest of his
profession. In Portland, Greg. he met
to make some easy money. Adams
provided this man, Sam Paris, with
the necessary wherewithal, series of
counterfeit notes.
Loaded with the supply OF Adams
money, the salesman registered that
night in a fashionable hotel. His
nerve began TO fail him, so he ripped
open a pillow. secreted his notes with
the feathers and sewed up the seam.
Next morning the chambermaid felt
the crinkling bills as she made up the
bed She ripped the pillow open and
extracted SO new 20-dollar Federal
Reserve notes.
Immediately the maid disappeared.
She left the job with what she thought
a fortune, called her husband and got
him to resign his position. Together
they went to San Francisco. These
notes were genuine looking, because
the experienced ticket salesman in the
railroad Office took them for fare
Strange enough, the girl could not
be prosecuted for theft, but after a
gay time in Frisco town the man and
the maid were picked up for passing
the Adams counterfeit notes. She told
where she got them. Hotel registers
divulged the course of the travelling
salesman, Sam Paris. Secret Service
agents found him in ST. Joe, Mo. with
a flock of the same species in his pos
session. He was sentenced to the
penitentiary.
As soon as Adams found out Paris
was behind the bars. the counter
feiter got acquainted with Mrs. Paris.
Inveigled into the business, she be-
came one of the outstanding women
counterfeiters in the country. She
organized troupes of young girls in
many of the larger cities and in
structed them in the art of passing
fake money. They disposed of many
notes under her guidance until one of
. these girls was arrested in Detroit
and that was the break that really led
to the last arrest of Adams
