Forged drafts tied to Ohio gang near Cleveland arrest
The Cleveland Leader reports the arrest near Cleveland of E. B. Piper and accomplice Bruce in January for extensive forgeries totaling between 25,000 and 650,000. They altered small drafts using acids, passing bogus values in Wisconsin and Toledo with profits of 1,500 to 2,000 dollars per incident. Bruce Ed paid large counterfeit drafts, tracked to Chicago, where he is jailed. Piper described as small-tanner and politer thief, active in the area for two years. Also notes Gen Zollicoffer’s disputed last words and rumors of his Confederate loyalty being questioned.
