Investigation By Secret Service Man. A $10 counterfeit bill Was detected in a deposit being made Saturday by a customer of the First National bank and business houses are noti fied to be on the lookout for more. The customer, a large wholesale house, handling considerable money and checks, did not know from whom it received the counterfeit bill. Evidently some merchant do ing business with this wholesale house accepted it in good faith from a customer and it may be that it has passed several times as legiti mate money since it was put into circulation by the counterfeiters The eagle eye of one of the tell ers at the First National bank de tected the spurious bill and as is required by law, Henry E. Thomas, a government expert working on counterfeit cases has been notified and will likely come up this week from Charlotte to work on the case. It is feared that other spurious bills are in circulation. So perfect is the imitation that only one experienced in studying the legal markings of real U. S. cur rency could detect it. The counter feit bill in question bears the green and brown colorings, perfect pic ture of Alexander Hamilton, the capital building at Washington, sig natures of Secretary Woodin. serial numbers, etc. By close study one can see that it is counterfeit by imperfect lithographed background in the border and the soft paper on ■ which it is printed. Earlier this year several $10 coup- i terfeits were found to be in circula tion and these were traced from r.he j Kings Mountain section of the! countv, but detoctl\?<! were never able to trace the hi its real source.
