I never had any counterfeit money as I know of—indeed I never had much money for I am a poor man and have to work hard for all I get. All my neighbors know this, and they all know that I had the die for I never made any secret of it. These are the facts and I am sure all my neighbors will testify to what I have told you.There is nothing in the appearance or actions of Smith to indicate a bad man. He his not had much experience in the world and is a simple-minded, unsophisticated raraUst. A resident, of Tasewell, who is in the city to-day, says that all or most of the people of that town, particularly the neighbors of Smith, knew of his having found the die, and not one of them would ever suspect him of using it or having it in his possession for a bad purpose. It is his opinion that the die was placed where where Smith found it by parties who had been manufacturing bogus nickels from it.
