Show BOGUS MONEY MAKERS. Two Men Arrested in New Haven With a Counterfeit Outfit. NEW HAVEN. Conn., March 27. Two men, supposed to be William Go-bcr Go-bcr and Samuel Fastow of New York, were arrested early today at the point of a revolver ln a boarding-house here, where they had stopped three days. In their rooms was found a new counter- i felting outfit which had turned out several saurlous one-dollar pieces, the officers assert, almost as good as genuine. gen-uine. Tho police believe that nn entirely new counterfeiting method has been discovered, as the plan of turning out bogus bills is a departure from the engraved en-graved plate and other methods generally gen-erally employed. The plan apparently was to take a new bill of any denomination, denomi-nation, aour a fluid said to be from Russia ovpr the bill and then stamp the bill on plain sheets of specially prepared pre-pared paper. After the pieces are pressed together for some time the whole Is taken off and placed on a cylinder cyl-inder much the same as a record Is placed on a phonograph. This Is followed fol-lowed by an electrical process that makes a perfect reproduction on the white paper and after a frying process the bill Is peeled off apparently as good as the one from which the copy Is made. The original bill Is not spoiled and thc process. It Is alleged, can be repeated as many times as desired. |
