ice man will tell you that the counter 1 secret service men worst Francis
feiters device is a surprisingly simple ure1 ut however that if an ordinary
one in most instances and in what ii copper plate were sensitized by the
pevhaps the most famous of all cases of common photographic process It was
tins kind the Taylor Bredell ease in ttie simplest thing in the world to J
Philadelphia in 1S0U 07 au apt iliustra 1 lv to it one half of a split bill with
tion is found of this fact That case the engraving down toward the plate
was run down
bv Chief John E Wilkie When this had been exposed to the
of the secret service and his men until
the two arch conspirators were safely
off on the outside That they could do
this is one thing which secret service
men will point to when they say that
counterfeiting is really an amazingly
simple undertaking
Yet Arthur Taylor and Baldwin S
Bredell expert engravers and chemists
of no mean ability hit upon a device
for duplicating the currency of the laud
that marked a new epoch in the history
of counterfeiting in tills country In
the middle nineties at the Philadelphia
subtreasury one day there turned up a
Monroe hundred dollar bill on which
production and generally speakin
the bill was as near the real thing
as it could possibly be all but the red
seal that wasnt dark enough So they
started up in Philadelphia the most
notable counterfeiting hunt of the cen
tury and when a warning had been
sent to all banks and other large han
dlers of money and to the subtreasu
ries throughout the country various
other Monroe hundred dollar bills
turned up with the light red seal in the
corner Several of them were traced
to a well known race track and finally
a man named Taylor who generally
made and paid his debts by hundreds
cijme under suspicion Yet the princi
pals iu the case could not be penned
down and it was evident that this
Taylor -who passed the money was sim
ply a subordinate in the gigantic swin
dle So the government men bided
their time
But they took Arthur Taylor a broth
er of the race track spender and his
associate Baldwin S Bredell under
surveillance Months passed The
newspapers which had taken up the
case at first dropped it and so far as
any one knew the mystery of the
Monroe 100 was in a fair way to
go down in history unsolved Chief
Wilkies men however never for a
minute lost sight of Arthur Taylor and
Baldwin Bredell and finally they fol
lowed them on a trip to Lancaster Pa
where they had a conference with the
firm of Jacobs Kendig cigar manu
facturers As a result the revenue
stamps that went on the Jacobs
Kendig cigar boxes were rather care
fully examined by the secret service
men and the arrest of everybody con
cerned including Taylor Bredell the
cigar manufacturers ex Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Ingam of Philadelphia
and a Philadelphia lawyer named New
itt followed
One thing that puzzled the govern
ment sleuths even after the arrests
was the fact that the counterfeiters
appeared to have no very extensive
plant Plates were found of the Mon
roe hundred dollar bill and also of a
-Lincoln fifty dollar bill so perfect
that the government thanked their
stars that none of them had been put
into circulation Various preparations
of acids were discovered also but noth
ing to explain how the remarkably ac
curate reproduction of the engraving
could have been brought about Final
ly A E Francis an expert in photo en
graving who had worked with the gov
ernment men before was called into
the case and as a result of his
sunlight for a sufficient time that por
tion of the plate which did not fall
in jail and still the counterfeiting con 1 beneath the lines of the engraving be-
turned The crowning feature of the cam hardened while the ink on thc
whole story came when it appeared bill left n myriad of lines exactly
that Taylor and Bredell actually lowing those which the government i
terfeited twenty dollar bills in the j geometric lathe had made in the
adelphia jail and sent them by Taylor- uine certificate It remained now only I
brother as a confederate to be worked for the oounterfeitci to put the plate
in a hath and eow the acid to eat its
way into the copper surface in an
exact reproduction of the original neg
ative When this was done it was the
easiest thing in the world for an expert
engraver to touch up the plate wher
ever that might be necessary and with
a supply of the necessary inks every
thing was ready for the printing
Taylor and Bredell were convicted
but before thej could be shipped off to
state prison they were held in the
Philadelphia jail Avlth a view to get
ting them to testify against Ingam
the red seal on the face appeared to be and Newitt who had acted as their le
altogether too light in color Otherwise gal advisers It was represented to
the bill was to all intents and purposes l them also that if they disclosed the
perfect But it wouldnt go through whereabouts of any more plates recom
withthe light red seal and it was sent mendations of a commutation of sen
to Washington for examination There tence might h j made bv the secret
the government experts took it sub
mitted it face and reverse to every
known test without being able to de
tect through any of the recog ed
symptoms the counterfeit and final
ly as the last resort split it to find to
their great astonishment that the Mon
roe 100 -was as a matter of fact the
halves of two one dollar bills which
had been split as one splits a bit of
birch bark and pasted together again
Many times before had split bills
been discovered by the department
but almost invariably the workman
ship on the face and -back had borne
service ollicials who would thus be re
lieved of the worry of running down
additional counterfeits In this shape
the matter stood for several weeks un
til out at the race track where the orig
inal Monroe hundred dollar bill had
appeared there turned up a new coun
terfeit twenty dollar bill that fell short
only in the shade of the ink -used in
printing it This like the Monroe
hundreddollar bill was traced to Ar
thur Taylors brother and when he
was arrested for it had been thought
wise not to take him in on the original
roundup Taylor and Bredell confessed
some defect that gave away the that they had actually been counter-
terfeit immediately In this bill how- feiting the twenty dollar bill while
ever no such defects were traceable they were in the detention section of
The myriad lines which the geometric the Philadelphia jail waiting to appear
lathe had apparently put in the border as -witnesses against Ingam and New-
about the figures and the printing were itt
so near like the lines which bona lido j The process was much the same as
lathes had put in the borders of hon- had been used In the first instance ex-
est currency that no clew was offered cept that Taylor who had been
even on a second and third inspection ing all the time to discover a washing
to the nature of the new counterfeit solution that would remove the black
The letters themselves and the general iuk from the face of a bill as well as
printing work on the bill measured up the green ink from the back of it final-
wlth the letters and figures on the ly hit upon a formula that would ac-
orlglnal to the last fraction of a complish this desired result As he
meter The portrait was a perfect re- j vras confined in the detention section

him and from night to night Taylor
figured on his chemical formula and
sent the symbols representing it out
by his brother on slips of paper to be
compounded at a chemists Test aft
er test Avas made of the fluid that the
brother smuggled back In little vials
until the final result was reached
Then It was only necessary to make a
plate by the old process and print on
a hand press so small that Taylor was
able to carry it around in his pocket
the jail made dollar counter
feits
Taylor and Bredell confessed after
ward that their intention in getting up
this new series of bills was in the be
ginning merely to get up a plate which
they might turn over to the secret
service men in consideration for a com
mutation of sentence but when the bill
itself turned out so well the temptation
to spend a few of them became too
great to resist and the brother took up
the old trick of passing tliem off at the
race tracks Taylor and Bredell went
to prison So did Ingam and Newitt

outright I was seated upon a couch
supported by what I Imagined to be a
heap of skins Suddenly they moved
and a corpulent black bearded monk
slowly rose from beneath me rubbed
his sleep dazed eyes and started
around Then he placed his hands
dolefully upon his stomach sighed and
asked a question of which the inter
pretation was I am 111 Is there a
