Counterfeiters Hidden in Underground Den Found on Elk Hart Island

A ladder entry led to a 25 by 18 foot chamber with bunks, a workbench, and a full set of tools. Authorities identified papers stolen from a Bristol post office and linked the site to a broader treasury investigation into ring activity in Indiana and Michigan.
