ice aa the "cleverest altered money in
the history of counterfeiting.
Stephen, or Steve, Connell, as he was
better known, during his residence in
Portland was chief of the secret
service in this district for several
years . prior to about eight' years
ago. Connell while here operated in all
parts of the, country, including British
Columbia, probably because of his rep
utation of - being one of the cleverest
and most successful, operatives in the
government service. '
Connell ran down the robbery of the
steamer Humboldt several years ago in
Seattle and recovered a large part of
the J 150,000 loot.
Another of Connell's feats was to
smash up a counterfeiter' plant which
he located in a remote spot on Van
couver island. These bills ere a perfect
counterfeit and the counterfeiter believed
himself well within the law. Connell
took no chancer as to the legality of
his belief. -Still - another capture
was that of " Jimmy. McNicholas, fake
mining property . swindler, who evaded
arrest in Portland, where he was sought
in connection with a . charge found
against him In Cleveland. McNicholas, a
Portland man, was one of the smoothest
individuals whc. ever came out of the
