The cancelling marks were obliterated in an ingenious manner by ne and the bills passed through several hands before the fraud was detected. Upon inquiry It was ascertained that the bills had been stolen from the State House at Baton Rouge, where they had been left with the A ditor for redemption, and were, to all intents and purposes, perfectly worthless, as far aa security went, Some smart counterfeiter get possession of them, however, and managed to pase th upon Levy, who in turn sold them to Arthur, w now sought redress.
