COUNTERFEITING OUTFIT IS SEIZED IN TEXAS
HOUSTON, Tex., June 13.—The The United States authorities here have arrested three women—Mrs. Perry, her daughter, Miss Perry, and Mrs. Robert Smith—in connection with the arrest of John Perry, Charles Prltchett and Robert Pritchett on charges of counterfeiting.
The officers, after several days’ hunting in a big thicket in Montgomery county, located the spurious mint, where counterfeiting has been under way for years. It Is believed that a vast amount of the bad money turned out there has been distributed through the different States. Molds and dies were seized by the authorities.
