Accident Spoiled an Ingenious
Counterfeit Passing Scheme.
A case winch snows the ingenuity
used in passing counterfeit coin Is the
following: A tailor, who also was a
very successful coiner, hud a little
daughter who was some ten years old.
She was being taught to play the vio
lin, ami twice a week she went to have
a music lessou at a house about a mile
j i'isUnt. Once a week the innocent
I little tiling carried besides her violin
I case and violin a package cunningly
secreted in, the false bottom of the vio
lin ease, which contained some twenty
or more pieces of counterfeit coin.
The music master, a rogue who was
in the know, found no diiliculty In ab
stracting the package unnoticed by the
child and in his turn passed it on to a
woman 'fence." wlto again gave it to
n male friend, who delivered it safely
to the "utterer." a woman again, at a
street corner, the package being this
time concealed in the false bottom of
a canary cage. Thus it passed through
sis hands, and besides the man him
self only the music master knew who
manufactured the coin.
The tailor was caught by an acci
dent. His little girl let the violin case
fall in the street, the bottom of the
case was smashed, and all the coins,
done up in tissue paper, fell into the
street. The child, much mystified.
opened one of the little packages, and
the glitter caught a policeman's eye.
This mishap led to the instant arrest
of the tailor, who confessed, hoping
for a light sentence, a hope which was
not realized. Among the coiner's
stok in trade were discovered two
works on chemistry, fourteen molds,
two batteries, plaster of paris. two la
dles, a melting pot. crucibles and a
quantity of chemicals. London Tele-skrnnh.
