Federal authorities seize man linked to coin making
Michael Mischlewski, residing at 42 Caroline Street, was turned over to New York Federal authorities by Lieut. E. O. Cronan after his arrest last Saturday on charges of manufacturing and passing counterfeit coins. For weeks jitney drivers and street car conductors received bad currency, with Joseph Kohlman, a jitney bus driver, returning a counterfeit half dollar to Mischlewski that led to the arrest and the claim that Mischlewski is responsible for the flood of bad coins in circulation in the city.
