Identification or a Counterfeiter.
i.m.v.AnJU3, I.NU., XJCC. -U
A member of the Vincennes gang of
counterfeiters arrested last Friday, -who
gave his name is James Summers, has
been recoguized as Jamo Sprague, who
was sent up in 18TS for six yetirs for coun
terfeiting. He was a desperate prisoner,
and worked up a plan to escape, by shoot
ing the officers in the court-room during-V
the trial, that came near proving successL
ful. He was released last June and at once p
returned to his old business. Sprague, nesi
to Pete McCartney, is Indiana's most
prominent member of the order jt comr .
terfoiters. '" i
