FEDERAL AND STATE OFFICIALS DEALERS The Secret Service Officers Among the Outlaws. SIXTY-FIVE ARRESTS MADE YESTERDAY, Lawyers, Physicians, Merchants and People of “Respectability” Taken. KNOXVILLE, Fenn., Oct. 20, 1873, Since the mountains of East Tennessee and | Western North Caroiina shook with the martial tramp of moving armies and their valleys re- echoed the volleys of musketry and the thunders | of artillery during the late war, no such event has transpired as that which 80 startled these sections to-day. The most ex- tended, strategetic and well-directed crusade ever organized against a large number of the most desperate gangs of criminals in the Eastern dis- trict of Tennessee and the Western district of North Carolina, resultihg in the arrest of about sixty outiaws, with quite a number yet to be heard from, was brought to a signally successiul issue to- day. These desperadoes belong, in the main, to i THE COUNTERFEITING FRATERNITY, who are banded together by fearjul oaths, deadly ‘ties and a mystic criminal Masonry known only to themselves, have for months, perhaps years, over- Fun these sections, spreading broadcast their bogus issues of “queer money” to such @n extent as to vitiave the genuine circu- Jating medium nearly one-third, and in seme instances to well nigh bankrupt some of the smaller merchants and tradespeople. Com- Plaints as to the wholesale operations of these gangs of swindlers, accompanied by demands tor some thorough plan of investigation with a view to extirpate the evil, had poured into the Treasury Department by the mailbag full, and Secretary Rich- ardson had at length decided that some specific and vigorous action looking to the suppression of Wlegal greenback trafic should be adopted. After one consuitation by the authorities at Washington At was determined to place the entire matter in the hands of Colonel Whitley, Chief of the United States Secret Service Corps, by whom, with the able assist- ance of Attorney General Williams, plans were Matured to entrap and capture the guilty parties—a task involving great expense, the most imminent personal risk, the keenest artifice and ingenuity, besides -privations from exposure and Tatigue. The Attorney General at once entered tto the subject with a right good will, and he directed the United States marshals of the respec- tive districts In which the operations Were car- ried on to render all the aid in their power in the qay 01 men and horses, ARMS AND SUPPLIES eof ammunition and such other material as the exi- gercies of the campatgn might require, as its va- rious phases became deveeloped. To obtain the evidence against the accused and suspected par- ties was the first and most important step to be taken, and in this the greatest care and caution bad to be most judiciously exercised. From mmong his corps Colunei Whitley prompuy selected a number of the most experienced officers, who were placed under the immediate su- pervision of a distinguished secret service agent and despatched to the infested localities above mentioned. This officer, calling to his aid all the Sagacity and experience of a lifetime, upon arriv- ing, laid his plans and proceeded in that circum™ spect and quiet manner the occasion required, He appeared upon the scene in the character of AN UNOBTRUSIVE, ELDERLY GENTLEMAN, ‘travelling for his health, while bis coFps of assist- ants, which was largely increased by experts ob- tained throughout the country here, assumed tne most varied and unsophisticated local guises imaginable, so as to effectually ward off Buspicion. Some of them explored the mouptains as tobacco dealers, with their covered wagons, mastiffs and stock of the weed; others roamed about as traders in that contraban article, whiskey, upon Which no tax had been paid; others penetrated the remotest sections as stock brokers; others put up at hotels capitalists looking for arms; others as land speculators; still ethers as tramps, farm hands, and lastly, some as PRETENDED COUNTERFEITERS. , Appearing in such characters, under the yarlous artifices and devices to which each had to resort, and ail playing weil their parts, the ¢iderent gangs of the counterieiters and traders im “queer money” were soon discovered, their plans of operations laid bare and their confidence gained to Bn unlimited degree. The secret service oficers became “hail fellows well met” with the counter feiters; they ate mountain fare with them, drank Ulicit Whiskey with them, slept in their houses and bought thelr bogus money. Then, asa ruse, they would absent themseives for a convenient period, ostenusibiy to pass the ‘queer’? stuff of upon merchants, traders and dealers as the genuine article, bat reaily to place it in the hands of theirsuperior officers and the United States District Attorneys at Knoxville, Tenn., and Ash- yille, N. C., to be used itn the future as evidence, It was in the course of these laborious investiga- tons that the officers became aware o1 the organi- gation of the counterieiters into distinct and sepa- fate gangs, all of them, liowever, co-operating and | working harmoniously together, each gang pom- Dering irom ‘ Lil FIVE TO EIGHT MEMBERS, all being reckless and determined men and all of | them thoroughly armed, ‘ihere ‘s, pertiaps, no ‘other portion of the country so peculiarly adapted to this trafic as the remote mountain localities Selected by the counterteiters., Sparsely settied, the inhabitants excessively ignorant, far trom all railroad lines, aud where a mania for Ulicit traffic” of all kinds abounds, the Swindlers found it rather an agreeaole and inter- esting besides a profitable trade than otherwise. But they were always weil armed and ready to re- Bist in the evento! any attempt being made to ar- rest them. The officers also 1ound that the gangs felt secure enough in their positions to dely the law with impunity, and they ire- juently went «50 far as to be | | wast of e freedom and immunity they enjoyed, that they were connected in ; yar task band was fully aware of the movements of the Others, and their communications were such as to ble them to summon aid at a very short notic Becoming more communicative as their trade i treased, the cuunterieiters were entrapped into Selling ich @ Way that each WHERE THE ILLICIT MONEY WAS MADE. {t comes direct trom Ohio, where it is manu- factured, to them. It consists in tne denomina- tions of fifty cents, iractional currency; ¢10 national bank notes and $50 United States legal tender notes of the series of 1869. There are no Means, statistics or Ngures, by which the amount | of this spurious currency now in circulation can be estimated. But that the country is foode ‘with it is a tact patent to every visitor to this sec- tion. It is transported into Tennessee and Nort Carolina the same as any other mercantile com- modity, by wholesale dealers and jobvers, with the same commercial regularity and pre- cision, and supplied to their customers and friends in sums to suit, according to the demands of trade. Latterly, since the financial panic, which so contracted the legiti- mate circulating medium, the counterfelt ‘cur- Tency expanded correspondingly, and in the rural districts be sala ad its place altogether and met all the demands of trade and commerce with the same ease Uncle Sam's own notes formerly did, In ad- dition to the currency trade thece is also extensive dealing in COUNTERPEIT MEXTCAN SILVER DOLLARS, But this class of spurious specie was principally ad of upon travellers and emigrants going to exas and the tar West, where such mouey could Hest be used without the suspicion which would Attach to it here. This money, it was ascertained, had been manwactured in the State of Kentucky, hot more than fifty miles from the Tennessee dine; but investigation deveioped the fact that the makers of the spurious coin had fled in the direction of Texas, leaving no definite clew be- hind them by which they could be traced and fol- Jowed up.

It had at first been chari- tably supposed by the keen experts that the guilt and crime were confined exclusively to the more degraded, ignorant and bardened classes o! the communities, im which they were engaged muking investigations. But alas! even these men, iamiliar with all grades of human depravity, were startled as their jalers progressed, ey found that in some places Individuals holding nigh offices of trust and emolu- ment both under the State and iederal govern- ments, men of high social position and regarded as exemplary Christians, were ity of the nefarious crime of buying 4! ling the bogus money. Horrifying and incredible as it seems, here to-day lies piled up th most conclusive and damning evidence of official corruption of the most humiliating character. Lawyers, doctors, justices of the peace, postmas- ters, United states deputy marshals, clerks of courts and numerous merchants of apparent re- Spectability did net hesitate to merease their gains and grow rich* by the disreputable means of bartering bogus United stafes currency, As soon as there was unmistakable evidence of this oficial criminality in their possession the ofticers lost no time in communicating it to headquarters at washington, and they Were at once instructed to pay the strictest and closest attention to this class of cases and to obtain all the evidence possible, as the MORAL EFFECT OF CONVICTIONS of this character would be of the most inestimable value. It would be too tedious for the present report to go into the full details of all these cases, but prominent among those crimimated are :—A. A, Snodderly, assistant postmaster at Maynardsville, Tenn., and clerk of the State Circuit Court Union coanty; John Wilson, a magistate of the same county; J, J. Sellars, a magistrate in Granger county;J. M. Sawyer, United States Deputy re shal for the Eastern district of Tennessee, stationed at Rutledge, and J, N. Ray, late State Prose- cutmg Attorney of Knox county, office here at Knoxville, where he is a prominent lawyer. Numbering such shining lights as these in their ranks, it Was not to be wondered that the more ignorant counterteit dealers should have felt | a@ degree of security not common to this class of criminals. Some of them are men of wealth, and these probably relied upon their genuine green- backs to pull them through all legal difficulties aon they ever be detected in their vile trade, e ARTIFICES AND DEVICES resorted to by some of the officers in securing evt- dence against these parties ave not only ingenious, but deciaediy rich and intefesting. Upon being interviewed, they were generally quite ready to relate their experience, asking a8 a iavor at the Same time that their names might not be published in the HERALD, as that paper, they said, went everywhere, even into the mountains, and the mention of their names might probably impair their usefalness in future cases, One of them relates his experience with J. N. Ray, the ex-prosecuting attorney ior the people at Knoxville. He has already secured some evidence against this party, but as another Witness was desirable, he was obtained in this way:—An officer whom Ray had never seen went to the Fast Tennessee National Bank and Lob ert! @ package of the new filty cent Dexter- ead notes. The oficer, who had already purchased counterieit money from Ray, met him (Ray), and told him he had a@ friend who had just come to town with a large quantity of connterfeits on the new issue, and would sell some of them a large denomination. Ray expressed an anxiety to see the new counterfeits, and was at once intro- duced to the stranger, who produced his new fif- ties and spread them out belore the admiring eyes of the delighted lawyer. The latter, in aston- ishment, held up his hands and exclaimed :— | minions of another. The gang controlling t t | ““THEM’S THE DAMNDEST BEST THINGS I EVER DID 8 Believing now that he was dealing with a genu- ine countericiter and no mistake, Ray produced $50 in ‘queer,’ which he sold to the ofticer at the rate of thirty cents on the dollar. Then be wanted to buy some of the new currency, but the officer put him off by saying that he could not sell him any then, drawn from the counterfeit districts provided he could buy some of the bogus money of secret service Ce by the lea the place citizens, who caspected them of being counter- ferters, and Who,»not aware th: ment was taking active measures towards break- ing up the gangs, seemed disposed to take the law into their own and make at the govern- SHORT AND QUICK WO RK of the supposed, dealers in the “queer.” Suficient evidence as to the guilt of all the parties above in- dicated having th been obtained to justify action on the part of the government oficers, warrants of arrest to the number of ninety were issued by United States District Attorneys Andrews, of East Tennessee, and Lusk, o! Western North Carolina, for the apprehension of the parties in their respective districts, As the various gangs in both the States were known to be more or less intimately cou- nected, and in order to thwart any combined se sistance that might be attempted, it was deen) jper that Speen re Basha {O* THR o4xos in their rent stroghors and the arrests ~: 08> should be effected as nearly simultnncously 4s i sible. Hence the secret service mien Were een trated at a point outside, where they could fon veniently compare notes in safety abd "ure plans tor making ‘this portion of their ‘Work a success commensurate with all the rest. After deliberate and careful consul- tation if was decided that the blow must be struck swiftly; that the capturing force should be mounted, thoroughly armed and ample for any emergency, and that each squad snould be accompanied by O&e Of the secret service men for the double of act yoade and bypaihs.and for nting out the resi- ting as guides over the ences of the accug parties, Expedi- tions Wéte accordingly mounted, equipped and thorouguly organized this purpose, ana they were started out mee their perilous mission. at this of twenty-five armed and provided with five days’ rations, were destined for Union, Granger, Locke and Carter counties, subdividing into smatier squads, in order to make simultaneous descents ou several gangs at the same time, The expedition in THE NORTH CAROLINA DISTRICT, similarly organized and equipped, also comprised twenty-five mounted marshals, augmented by specials and volunteers, guided by secret service men Who had become familiar with the roads as weil as the rendezvous of the gangs. To-day was set jor the movement. Before daybreak this morning the Tennessee Reet grade left Knoxville, @ portion of them taking the Maynardsville road, ; another squad riding towards Clinton, and still another tor Carter’s Depot and Newport. The Maynardsville party were to ride within two miles | of that place and secrete themselves in the woods there until the secret service men should ascertain that ail was ready for the descent. The territory to be covered by these squads embraced an area 125 miles long by filty-seven miles broad, the country being rough and hilly, and in some places so dificult of access that but one rider could pass ata time, and where, unless they moved silently and rapidly, the news of their approach could easily be spread by means of blowing horns, which was A SIGNAL AGREED UPON by the counterfeiters to indicate that United States oficers were in the vicinity. The difficulties sur- ‘rounding the North Carolina expedition were not Jess formidable, At the same time tne detachment | of mounted men left Knoxville one proceeded from Greensboro, N. C., going in the direc- tion of iredeli, Wilkes, Kockingham, Ca- barrus and Rowan counties; while two others leit Ashville, N. C,, one going in the direction of Mitchell, Yancey, Wautauga and Ashe counties, and the other to Cherokee, Swayne and Graham counties, The ground to be traversed in the North State embraced an area of over 600 square miles, and to get to Cherokee county re- quires @ steady horse-back ride of 128 miles, there being neither railway nor _ tele- graphic communication the entire distance, and only a semi-weekly stage line, This will give the readers of the HERALD some idea of the arduous labor of the task undertaken. It Is estimated that in these districts alone there are not less than 1,500 illict whiskey stills (large and smali), and | from this fact itcan be imagined how easily the suspicions of the people are aroused, Hence the necessity for the secret and copcerted movements of all the Getachments at the same time. THE PROGRAMME was admirably carried out in this section of Ten- bat would have a meeting with him after | nessee, each squad executing its alloted duty with the 20th, in which they would talk the business over. Another of the officers stated that, aiter having made the acquaintance of a counterieiter in Union county by means of a forged letter of in- troduction, a sale Was agreed upon, but was delayed several days to give the seller an opportunity to go into the coun- try to get the money. Op _ his return he learned tuat some suspicion had been aroused in Maynardsville regarding bim and his new- found iriena, the officer, and. going to the latter, he not only soid him the counterfeit money, but advised nim to arm himself thoroughly as there were a good many detectives about who might at- tempt to arrest nim, The “queersman” added, confidentially, that he had been IN THE BUSINESS MORE THAN FIVE YEARS and no detective was ever smart enough to fool him. One of the “heavy” dealers, oid Nick Sharp, of Union county, kept his counterfeits in a cigar box on the shelf of a little rookery, calied a @ precision that was almost military im point of execution and despatch, with one single exception. The squad sent to make the arrests at Jghuson’s township and Carter’s depot on the line of fhe East Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, impatient to execute their duties, made a descent at both places about day break, bagging all their game and creating the greatest consternation through- out the country. Before the inhabitants had their breakfasts at Jonnson’s they arrested William P. Taylor, a citizen of some respectability and stand- ing in society. Though armed, he was taken by surprise, and, being overpowered by numbers, sur- rendered at discreth point of attack, was the place where serious trouble was anticipated in ion.

THE SAWDUST SWINDLE. It would be @ pity to omit the sawdust swindle in the mountains. In their anxiety to obtain coun- terfeit money at lowest rates and from different sources, many of the bogus money dealers have | been severely bitten by that sharper and not more | scrupulous class, the “sawdust swindlers,” that abound in New York city. An amusing incident ts related in this connection by one of tue ofieers who arrived one evening about dusk at the house of @ counterieiter, some thirty-eight mules from Ashiville, c, and learned that old Tra Benson, the dealer, was away from home. The officer, being known to the old fady as a counterfeiter, was invited to await Benson’s re- turn. After supper she grew quite talkative, and communicated the fact that old [ra had gone to Ashville to geta “right smart lot of good stutr that was coming to him trom New York. “Them | foiks in York is right smart,” said she; “they sent my old man this yere,” producing one of the timeworn lithograph letters that have flooded the country for years past, ‘an’ te sent ‘em $100 to git some of the small kinds.” The officer chuckled inwardly, but made no outward expression of his mirth, It was a clean case of “aog éat dog.” certainly. Old Ira arrived home about ten o’clock that night, having ridden thirty- eight miles horseback the day belore to get to Ashville and thirty-eight that day to get back, and he was very tired; but the “dol gorned box had come” and he was all right A good pull at the corn juice and a little supper Tsade him jolly. Theu he unrolled the package. re- | Vealing the box securely nailed. Removing the cover was the work of an instant, and tue first thing to be seen was the sawdust. “They pack it nice,” said the old lady; “couldn't be better if it was giass.”? “Yes, they do,” said old Tra, running his fingers through the sawdust and Onaily emptying it on the floor; “they do it nice, and they have done me.” Profanity was in order for the next half hour, The candle turned blue with it. It hung upon the rafters and over the old crane in the fireplace and oozed up the chimney. “Nor was its volume lessened when old Mra. Ira told him he was “a dol gorned old fool cuss” to have anything to do | with “them fellars in New York.” THE “QUEER” IN TH NORTH STATE. A similar condition of illicit monetary affairs ex- isted in the Western district of North Carolina, In that mountainous section, famous as the rendez- vous of both federal and Confederate deserters during the war, the gangs of counterfeiters were more thoroughly organized, if possible, than in Tennessee, covering a much larger area of territory and numbering a great mauy more persons in their ranks. They were more systematic in their apportionment of the country, and @ mutual agreement existed among them that no gang should eperate in the do- trade in the counties of Cherokee, Swayne an Grabam was known as THE BIRCHFIELD GANG; that in Mitchell, Yancey, Wautauga and Ashe counties was known as Biackburn’s gang, headed and supervised as it was by a practising phy- sician of that name; that in the counties of | | Rockingham, Wilkes and Rowan was known ag Black's gang, the leader, P.O, Black, being one of the worst ‘and most desperate of his class; and that in the counties of Iredell, Cavarrass and Mecklinburg, being known as the McFee gang, the chief of which, Oscar Mc- tod uae ep arrested nearly @ year since on arge of manutacturin gol and silver coin, alcantbeespia: Psi O arrive at all these confederated swindlers and secure evidence sufficient to pe Me helt Conviction before arresting them, has been an in- fricate and laborious undertaking of much time requiring the services of brave and resolute men, who-have suffered great hardships and privations in their efforts to ferret out the criminals, Many curious andfsingnlar adventures and hair-breadth escapes are related by the men themselves, some of them thrilling and exciting enough to make the basis of first class romances, Several of the oMcers in the secret service have been arrested on suspicion of being counterleiters; others frequentiy resorted to the expediency of having themselves arrested on similar charges and were lodged in Jail, and then, by ostensibly escaping from custody and ficeing to the mountains for salety, ingrauated themseives Still further into the confidence of the desperadoes by whom they were surrounded, and whom they ‘adually entrapped and wound into the skill of what would if al) probab’'* occur in the e of treachery oreven a suspecw/ breach of good faiyh.

Happily, however, the persons to whom the news came suppressed it at the instance of the officers until their game here was secured. Soon after three parties here were taken into custody by deputy United States marshals. The first and most important of these was James N. Ray, torney here. This individual made the most profuse asseverations of his innocence; said 1t was a put up job, gation to vindicate his character as a gentle- man and indulged in other remarks peculiar to the educated swindler, The others were keepers of two well-known drinking saloons, one of them hav- ing upon his person one counterfeit $60 note of the series of 1369 and one ¢2 COUNTERFEIT ON THE NINDH NATIONAL BANK OF ex-Prosecuting At- manded an investi NEW YOK!
