V.i iv ref used absolutely to give
my more d' tads than contained In his
I'atcmc-r.t. From other aonrrrs, how
vr. ir w-as larnil that dimes, rjnar
vn and half dollars weri thi coins
manuu' tured. Th discovery was
ma.lo several days ano, and Hnited
Statu .'rret. service offlcors wera Im-T.HU'-My
railed In. Their investiga
tion, it is learned, is still In progress,
their principal ohjert beln? to learn
whether there was collusion between
th cnnvict.a and the employes of the
Institution.
Later further details of the conntfr
fettin? seheme leaked out These
ere to the effect that Ave men were
encased In the work, the head of the
counterfeiters being a Philadelphlan
low completing his second term for
tiia offense. The others were profes
sional criminals, who secured through
tie plumbing department of the prison,
iBe necessary "metal, made of solder,
tin and ground glass. The moulds. It
ii believed, were made of plaster of
pirts, scraped from the walls of the
evils. Some of the coins got Into cir
dilation, hut Vn what manner has not
'jet'-n lull? determined. There is a
belief tliat certain employes who di.i
favors for the prisoners, such as mail
:n letters in violation of the rules of
':ie instirition, weri given the bogus
soncy is tips, and that they innocent
ly jasse '. it Into cir-ulation.
Tie counterfeiting was discovered
about the middle of July and stopped,
iiit for some reason it was not made
known to the prison inspectors until
seme time in August.
It :s believed the discovery of coun
tr?elters in the prison was the reult
f the neral investigation now being
carried on in the place as a result of
tas Irregularities In the cigar depart
ment These irregularities became
public last week, and pending an in
wugatlon Warden Daniel W. Bus
ainger and the overseer of the cigar
partmeat were temporarily relieved
torn duty, and the penitentiary placed
tn charge of the Rev. Joseph Welch.
Ui ctiaplaln. It Is alleged that thou
Ha4s of cigars made by convicts are
untccounted for, that thousands of

wu litord. How long this has been
crriea oa Is yet to be learned. The
