PASSED BAD COIN
LINGERS IN JAIL
Floyd W. Avery will have to linger
In the county Jail during the summer
until the federal grand jury meets to
consider his case, unless he la able to
secure bonds to the amount of $3000,
because he gave John Wilson of Marsh
field a bogus $10 piece. At the exam
ination before Commissioner Marsh yes-
teraay arternoon it was Shown . that
Avery did not tender the piece In pay
ment for anything received. He simply
gave It to Wilson to pas' along if he
could. Wilson passed it to the authori
ties, and Avery was arrested nnan
reaching Portland on the steamer
Breakwater from Marshfleld.
Attorney Seneca Fouts made a strong
plea for Avery, saying that even Wilson
admitted that he was not In any way
defrauded by the transaction. Avery
has a wife and child to support, and
Fouts thought it an Injustice to hold
him. The bogus coin was of very poor
make.
