Smith Denies Role
In Counterfeitino

BALTIMORE, Dec. II (AP).
The counterfeit money trial
of Nathiel Smith, Bladensburg
tavern operator, went into its
final stages today.
Smith, 80, took the stand as
the last witness late yesterday
to deny that he had any part
in any scheme to pass bogus
500 bills.
Attorneys began their sum-
nation before the United States
District Court jury today. The
panel was expected to begin
deliberations shortly after noon.
Leonard Marvin Kanthal, 2s-
year-old former heavyweight
boxer, testified earlier that
Smith gave him 40 to so coun-
terfeit 500 bills to pass in the
Washington area. He
said he gave Smith $50 for
every phoney bill he was to
pass.
Smith denied this completely.
He said he had met with
Kanthal several times to try to
collect more than $40 the
former Golden Gloves boxer
owed him.
