At the office of the Secret Service
Chief Drummond exhibited what
looked so much 'ikw a $10 silver cer*
tiflcate that not one mau in a thousand
would hesitato to accept it. Nevertheless,
it was in reality only #1 expertly
altered. The big figure indicating
the denomination was in each case replaced
by an N taken from a real tendollar
bill. That is to say, the numeral,
together with the oval bit of
lathe-engraving containing it, was cut
out of a certificate for $10 and so art* I
frtlly inlaid in tho paper of the one* |
dollar greenbaok a? lenre no traces '
ot tne operation visible to the naked j
eye. Of course the ton-dollar bills j
thus mutilated could easily be treated |
so as to disguise tho purpose of the
mutilation, and then sent to the Treasury
at Washington for redemption.
In this simple manner plenty of
Uncle Sam's engravings could be utilized
withont expenso for patchwork.
The words "One Dollar" on tho face
of the bill described woro altered by j
putting "Ten" in the place of "One," j
the spot where the "S" ought to
go at the end of the dollar being so j
defaced by scratching with a snatp
knife as to make it look as if
the "S" had been rubbed off" by some I
accident. Along tne edges ol tne oer- 1
tifioato and particularly in the corners 1
the ink was carefully smeared in such
a manner as to render the wording of
the denomination indistincuishsHc. j

deal of labor, but it represented a
clear gain of $9. This produot of
criminal industry was the work of a
mau named Freeland and his wife,
who were caught at it and arrested iu
Chicago the other day.
