Counterfeiter Engraver Arrested in Missouri
One of the nation’s best engravers was arrested at his office for engraving counterfeit bank notes. He was a refined man yet led a dissipation fueled by his skill, and his arrest triggered a haunting family scene as his wife and children faced hunger and shame. The officer’s relief came only after the family’s rescue from prison, while the State’s punishment loomed for the man. The nearby newspaper notes the Missouri Democrats choosing to skip state nominations to save resources.
