He says his services were accepted and that . the men laid bare their scheme to him after he had shown them alleged counterfeit platea of American bank notea, but which ware In reality genuine and had been lent to him by the treasury department to aid -in-hla deception. 'i ' He waa told, be said that the plan was to engrave 800,000 notea counter feiting the 100-peao notea of the repub lic of Colombia, which are worth about 820 - la American money. When the platea had been made and the spurious notes turned out there were to be $10. 000.000 In counterfeit Colombian notea. according to tha alleged conspirators' project. From Cuba, where the platea were to be pressed on paper, the spurious money waa to be snipped Into Colombia, celved there by agents of the chief schemers and spent In the purchase of thousands of head of cattle from the big farmers In the Colombian border states. The cattle were to be shipped to Europe and there " sold ' for real money. .. The secret service bureau then de cided no more evidence waa needed.
