Sinmultane- ously with these arrests a brother of the man Winans at Philadelphia, and also @ con- federate named Wintermute, at Portland, Pa, were also arrested. Barr was decoyed from Iowa by @ member of the secret service, who shadowed him out there from Washing- ton, and made bis acquaintance, represent- bimeself as an insurance agent. Being social fellow, he soon secured the key to Barr's secrets and learned that he was en- gird in the manufacture of the ‘queer.’ He had none of the bonds or spurious notes along witb him, but proposed to Introduce his newly formed acquaintance to his friends in Penusylvenia, who would sel! him all the material he wanted for manutacturing notes and bonds ad. lib. Vows of secrecy were ex- changed, and the two agreed to meet at Scranton in the middle of the present month. They did so, and then and there the detec- live acknowledged that his real business was that of counterfeiter, and that his home was in Cincinnati. Accordingly it was agreed that Winans, for $1,000, should sup- ly plates and presses for making five-twen- y_ coupons and Treasury notes.
