I'm sure they will have to come into town to-day, and they will have to come by train, for their car is wrecked. Better watch at the uptown stations, also." After a hasty breakfast we met Burke's man and took our places at the exit from the train platforms. Evidently Kennedy had figured out that the counterfeiters would have to come into town for some reason or other.
They were a gang of counterfeiters. Abner Dimock thrust his wife into the chair, sweeping the gilt eagles to the floor as one of the men angrily started up, demanding, with an oath, what he brought that woman there for to hang them all. "Be quiet, Bill, can't you?" interposed the other man. "Don't you see he's drunk? you'll have the Devil to pay, if you cross a drunk Dimock!"
Because he minded his own business and staid in the house when he heard shooting, he said. "Come on, boys!" shouted Bill Braymer, giving his panting horse a touch with his raw-hide whip; "perhaps, the sheriff's needin' help this minute. An' there's generally rewards when counterfeiters are captured mebbe sheriff'll give us a share." The whole quartet galloped rapidly off.
These people were looking at us! We might as well have been walking through an open street." "But why didn't they do something to you, then?" demanded Frank. "They captured the ones who entered the workroom." "Those were counterfeiters, not abductors." "Well, then, they caught Jimmie and lugged him away?" "In an effort to drive us out of the country, yes." "Then why didn't they capture you?"
One of the unique phenomena of the Mala Vita in America is the class of Italians who are known as "men of honor." These are native Italians who have been convicted of crime in their own country and have either made their escape or served their terms. Some of these may have been counterfeiters at home.
"It's a wonder he can hold his job." "It is a wonder. But he may have political influence, or something else, or, it is barely possible that he may be doing some work that is not on record here. That is all I can tell you." "What is his salary?" "A thousand or twelve hundred a year." "Not a very elaborate income. No wonder he would like to run down those counterfeiters.
Among these are the faces of William E. Brockway, the veteran dean of counterfeiters; Emanuel Ninger, the most expert penman the service ever knew, and Taylor and Bredell, who hold the record as the cleverest counterfeiters in history next to Brockway. There are hundreds of others who have at some time or other gotten into the clutches of the service, many of them the most desperate characters.
The defendant, I guess, means to take Captain Hollister, and we two have partly agreed on Squire Jones for the third man. Are there any criminals to be tried? asked Marmaduke. There's the counterfeiters, returned the magistrate, as they were caught in the act, I think it likely that theyll be indicted, in which case its probable theyll be tried.
They are so busy following up the counterfeiters they have no time for us." Ray, much interested, leaned eagerly forward. "A counterfeit ten dollar bill, did you say?" she demanded. "Yes it is a remarkable counterfeit. You would not know it from a good one. Only an expert can tell the difference. But all these crooks overreach themselves.
It was a good "haul," but where was the vast spoil the counterfeiters had accumulated? We had missed it. So far we were completely baffled. "Perhaps we had better snatch a couple of hours' sleep," was all that Craig said, stifling his chagrin. Over and over in my mind I was turning the problem of where they had hidden the spoil.
