Federal sleuths round up makers of bad $20 notes
Secret Service men in multiple cities led raids against a counterfeiting band tied to $390,000 in bogus $20 bills.

The fake notes bore serial numbers and came with signatures imitating Frank White, treasurer of the United States. Several cities reported passes of the counterfeit currency, with a plan to assassinate an informer within the gang.
