Rodgers, said to be the leader of the Stark-Rodgers gang of counterfeiters, has been arresied by Secret Service Agent N. R. Harris Jr. and Police Officer T. B. | Gibson on a charge of counterfeiting gold pieces. This makes the sixth arrest, und from sll appearances the officers have | captured the whole of the dangerous crew. | Tte prisoners are F. W. Rodgers, his son, | James F. Rodgers, and bis daughter, | Kittie (the latter is out on Ler own recog- nizance), William (alias “Doc”) Stark, Alfred (alias “Babe’’) Williams and Arthur Gilroy. The Rodgers live at 6 Chelsea street, and it was at their home that the most of the counterfeiting plant and materials were found. Dave Stark, although a very young man, is the fellow who did the platine and finishing alte r the counterfeits were cast in the base metals. It is believed that the gang made and put into circula- tion over $10,000 and a large amount of this was un loaaed at the race tracks, Wil- liams and Gilroy did much of the latter work. The most interesting characters in the crowd are the Rodgers. As stated in yesterday’'s CaLL several of the family Were arrested in May, 1893, for counterfeit- ing 5 and 25 cent pieces. The evidence of their guilt was conc Iu- sive, but when taken beiore the United | States Grand Jury the plea of extreme | poverty was made, and tnat august body | bad th'e wool neatly pulled over its eyes, d not only did the Grand Jury refuse to | indict, but it went to the unprecedented extreme of raising a large purse and find- ing employment for the membars ot the | family. While before the jury young| Rodgers was asked how it was that he be- came a counterfeiter of small coinsand where he got his kaowledge of that un- lawful occupation. He answered that his first knowledge of how to make counter- feits was from a story that he read in tne San Francisco Examiner, whica gave a minute account ol how to make the molds, the base meials commonly used and tlie proportions of each, and now to plate and put the finishing toucties upon the spurious coins, By following the Examiner’s directions | and making a plant hke the illustrations given in that paper he turned ou: to baa full-fledged and successiul counterfeiter. | This coufession probably had much to do with the acquittal of the Rodgers family. | This narrow escape from the Stute | prison did not prove a sufficient lesson to | the family, .or as seon the iatner, son and one daugster are again a similar cffense. { May in trouble for The other daughter, Rodgers, also wandered from the t and narrow jpath.

She le:t this occu- | pation last January and hired out asa | |{ domestic in the family of J. B. Queen of 436 Buchanan street. | As an evidence of her crookedness she hired out under an assumed name, the | name of a girl she knew who lived at | Nortn Beach. The family missed many articles of value, and one day the new girl left, taking with her Mrs. Queen’s wola bracelet containing six dismounds, gloves ana some money. A part of the stuff was recovered in a pawnshop by Detective An- | thony, who had bard work to locate the thief owing to the confus.on of names. However she was arrested cn January 15 for grand larceny. The other sister, Kittie, is 17 years of age, but she is very shrewd in her way. She acted as a go-beiween for her father, brother and their friends, and led the off cars s-veral merrv chases in endeavoring tothrow them off the track. There are still three other children, but they are all of a tender age. *Doc’”” Stark had his preliminary hear- ing yesterday before United States Circuit Court Commissioner Heacock and was held in §4000 bonds to appear before the The first wit- as Jobn Boyle, | | He testifiea that he was ap- plenty of good looking bogus_$5 pieces if Boyle would pass the same.

Mr. Harris was on two feet 1n a second and answered, *'If you that, sir, you tell a deliberate faiseboo The prisoner's other attorney, T. J. Lennon, said something to tue effect that the secret service agent must have the St. Vitus' dance if he was not making signs to the witness. For these remarks Stark’s attorneys were severely reprimanded by Commissioner Heacock. BANQUET TO A SINGER. A Dinner at the Bohemian Club in Compliment to D enis O’Sullivan, A delightful dinner, a comphiment to Denis O’Sullivan, was givef in the red room of the Bobemian Club last evening.
