From there I was taken tx or seven times to Newark to be tried for counterfeiting. Afver a month’s time no proof was brought forth and I was discharged. At the time we were stopping at Taylor’s Wood stated fo me that he could arrest and convict any an of apy crime if he had never seen the man be- fore. Mr. Guiies went my bail ac the time tor $12,000 or $20,000—1 forget which. About eighieen months ago ONE (FP WOOD'S DETECTIVES came to me in New York, where I then was, and sald he could save me some trouble if 1 WOULD PAY HIM $1,060, He said that parties in buffalo intended to arrest me for passing counterfeit bonds on a man named Spantding, cf that city.
