®BNbw York, Sept 30.—“ Italians have a
jF’.inopoiy of the counterfeiting business'
iw. They are organized In bands, have
M cret societies, pass words, and are pro
s' ted from detection as well s they
1 oasibly can be. They are very quiet and
eserved, and it is very difficult to run them
own.”
This is tho opinion of ex-Chief A. L.
Irummond of the secret service. He was
•hatting about some of his experiences re
cently. His attention was called to the
•aul of conterfoiters made a few days ago
ind he remarked that Americans were now
driven out of the business.
1 1
EX-CHIEF A. L. DRUMMOND.
Mr. Drummond has had a varied experi
ence with those gentry who think Uncle
Barn’s money is not circulated freely enough
and who manufacture it themselves or
rather manufacture some that will pass for
mouev. For seventeen years Mr. Drum
mond was attached to the secret service de
partment, and for more than nine years he
was at the bead of the department in New
York city. He was born in Fulton, Lan
cashire county, Pennsylvania, in 1845 and
is the son of a farmer. Until he was 13
years of age he lived on the farm, but then
went to Port Deposit, Md., where he learned
the trade of a harness maker. In 1860,
when the Great Eastern steamship arrived
in this country, young Drummond was at
tracted to Annapolis to see the big wonder,
and decided to become a sailor. For five
years he followed this profession, and in
1865 was made an officer on the steamship
Costa Hica on the Aspinwall line. During
the next sixteen years he was in the employ
of the United States and Brazil Steamship
Company. In 1871 he retired from the sea
and accepted a position with an insurance
company. This he soon gave up and joined
the secret service in which he has made such
a mark.
Mr. Drummond is about 5 feet 8 inches in
hight, well built anti of fair complexion.
He is always quiet and courteous, but sharp
qnd shrewd in attending to his duties. His
experience with counterfeit money and coun
terfeiters has been so great that he can al
most detect a bad bill or coin wi b his eyes
shut and can fish out a counterfeiter so
easily that he has become a terror to those
law-breakers.
“How do we catoh a counterfeiter? Well,
I’ll tell you,” he said. “It seems to come by
instinct to a certain extent. Sometimes
when a man is arrested he thinks he will
save himself if he tells of some crooked
work that ho knows is going on. Perhaps
he will tell of a man who is disposing of
spurious coins. He’ll give a little descrip
tion of him and tell where he can be occas
ionally seen. That is enough for me. I’ll
go and visit these haunts and look for my
man. Very probably it is in a saloon. I find
the man and then have to make his acquaint
ance. One has to be very careful here, for
crooks are very suspicious. I’ll speak to the
fellow casually, ask him to drink and then
drink with him. The next night I will talk a
little confidentially to him and perhaps
vaguely hint that lam a crook and have
just done a term. This method will last for
several days. The follow will bring all the
rest of the gang to see if I’m all right and
not a detective. When he is satisfied that
all is right, ho will get confidential and toll
me of a scheme to make money. When he
says it is counterfeiting, I scorn the idea. It’s
too small for me for I’m a check man.
However, after a while I’ll look at his good
and agree to take some and try to place
them. Having got evidence against this
man I must shake him and try the others.
T o do this I’ll quarrel with him, break faith
with him, or tell him his bills are no good.
Then I’ll tackle the rest of the gang until a
chain of evidence lias been forged. Then
they are arrested.”
■■till |l|Mil 1„HII II I
Mr. Drummond has made a great many
arrests in his time and had some exciting
adventures. He thinks tbearrest of a gang
of fourteon rnen in 1881 one of the best
pieccsof work he over did. It appears that
a man named William Burns, alias En
glish Billy, iiad been arrested in Connecti
cut in December, 1880, but managed to es
cape from the officer. The officer succeeded
in shooting him, ns the blood on the snow
showed, but Burns got away. Mr. Drum
mond searched for him in New York. He
heard of a man in Bellevue hospital who
had been shot. He placed thi3 man, who
proved to bo Burns, under arrest, but I e
had to be liberated because the Connecticut
people would not swear to his identifica
tion. Burns was very angry and said ho
would kill Druminoud when he got the
chance. Au eye was kept on him and he
was traced to a haunt of crooks at No. 1
Bowery. Chief Drummond detailed detect
ives to investigate the practices there, and
very soon ono of the largest counterfeiting
establishments ever known was unearthed.
Burn- was ono of a gang who would stop at
nothing to gain money. They had in tlioir
employ a number of women who had to
"oi k for them and whom they used shame
fully. Several detectives were sent on the
' tise, and by chumming with these men soon
had all the evidence they wanted. They
found that they had establishments at 4
East Brondvvay”, 3 Chrystln street, 3!) Madi
son street, 150 Cherry street, 57 Chatha u
street, 20 Avenue U, 186 Chrystie street and
1 Bowery. At all those plaws after tho men
had been nrrested they found bn-o metal
cr| in, stamps anti a thorough counterfeiter's
futflt Whin the time came for the men to
1 e arrested trouble aroee. If one man was
''nested the others would probably eieaoc.
Mr. Drummond wanted ad of them. He
took a room m the International hotel and
sent out tho officers to entice them to oome
down. All kinds of efforts were made to
In mg them down. Borne were to g> to sell
some wine to some countrymen, others
ware to buy stolen silks, lowelrv or oloth-.
i”g. In this way they were brought before
the chief and very quickly handcuffed.
They were kept in the hotel until all were se
cured and then tht y were taken to Ludlow
street jail. Only oneot the men grew sus
picious. It was William Burns. While
going no vn town he suddenly left the de
tective and ran off.
“Stop thie!!” shouted the detective.
Au officer saw Burns running and man
aged to strike him with his club, which
knocked him senseless. In Burns’ pock
ets were found a raz vr and a knife
which were to be used, he said, on Mr.
Drummond.
Drummond told the officer Burns meant
to kill him. “If I’d known that I’d a struck
him harder,” was the rejoinder. A harder
blow would have killed him. The men
nrrested wore William Burns, alias English
Bill)-, Daniel Sullivan, alias Scotty, Sam
Baker, alias Amos B. Baker, Robert Kelly,
Robert S. Smith, Christopher McDonnell,
Dennis Uleuucm, Martin Leonard, Joseph
Delahanty, Edward King, Charles J. Wil
son, David Angelo, James Murphy and
Dick Frelas, and one woman, Ann McCor
mick. They all got sentences varying from
two to ten years.
In 1883 Sir. Drummond unearthed the
gigantic plot of Brockway, Martin and
Foster. Brock way was a very bright man,
well educated, and he had genius and skill.
These three men devised means to swindle
tne whole financial world. Among other
bonds he was forging were those of the
Morris and Essex Railroad Company.
Brockway was known to tee police and one
day Drummond hatfa matt to shadow him.
Brockway went to the offico of a small
primer and remained there sometime.
Drummond at once began to investigate and
found Brockwav bad left a piece of steel
with SI,OOO in figures und a small corner
scroll to have a proof made. This convinced
him that he was at his old tricks, cater on
the chief heard of a scheme w hereby the
country would be flooded with spurious
government ami railroad bonds. He had
Brockway w atched, who used to resort to
ail sorts of means to try and discover who
was following him, such as wheeling round
suddenly, stopping at corners, jumping on,
and almost immediately off a car. Once he
was traced from ids home, 78 Greenwich
street, to No. 231 L'xington avenue. The
house was kept under surveillance. A small,
nervous looking little man used to walk
about occasionally with Brockway and
sometimes as though he was taking exercise
after sitting for a Tong time. This man, it
was found from some photographs
received from the west, was Nathan B.
Foster, of Bradford, 111. Brockway was
then traced to the St. James hotel. He met
a man who wore iron gray whiskers and
moustache. Mr. Drummond could not find
out this man’s name, but after watcbiDg
some time picked up an e ivetope he had
thrown away. The writing on the envelope
struck him as being familiar and he soon
found it was the same a : ; was on a letter
which James B. Doyle, a famous countsrfei
t r.had thrown away on being arrested. This
letter of Doyle's was signed “Mart,” which
meant Lewis K. Martin. He now know the
names of Brockway’s partners. He was
satisfied that thes > men were not counter
feiting government securities, and so turned
the cave over to Inspector Byrnes. He
withdrew Drummond’s force and placed
some of bis own men on the case but still
maintained the direction of affairs. In
October he procured search warrants and
then carefully arranged plans were made
for the arre t to take place on Nov. !). 1883.
He secured tho warrants at 11:30 o’clock in
the morning and detailed Detective Sergeant
Cosgrove and Henry Giandei and others to
tho work. Glandel was sent to Lexington
avenue with some of the inspector’s men,
four others were sent to Eleventh street to
watch the house Brockway had moved to,
other officers were detailed to the St. James
hotel. At 10 o’clock word was sent to Mr.
Drummond that irockway, Foster and
Martin were at tho Lexington avenue house.
Information was sent to the officers to be
on guard and also to the men watching
Brockway’s house directing that directly
they arrived a descent should be made on
both places.

GETTING INFORMATION.
Brockway wont down town on an elevated
railroad train and the officers followed him
until he reached Houston street, when they
quietly took him into custody and
hurried him to police headquarters. There
he was searched and on ins person was
found two 91,000 genuine railway bonds,o.ie
of the Contral Pacific railroad and one of
the Morris and Essex railroad. He was
very indignant at the action of the officers.
The descents on the various houses were
made and a complete outfit for tho manu
facture of SI,OOO bonds were found. Most
of the implements were at 231 Lexington
avenue, at Martin’s room, 54. Morris and
Essex bonds were found nearly ready for
issue. Brockway pleaded guilty ana He
enrdor Smyth sentenced him to rive years
in Sing Sing, which he served and was re
leased last year. Martin was ti ied twice.
The first time the jury disagreed. On the
second trial ho was convicted and sentenced
to ten years in Sing Sing. Peter Mitchell,
his lawyer, secured him anew trial. He
was released on bail and has never been
tried again. He is still at liberty, but is
bevond the possibility of doing harm from
loss of eyesight. He is not strong and will
not live long. Foster remained in the
Tombs twenty months when he was released
upon hisown recognizance because it would
be useless to try him owing to the con
structions placed" upon the statutes concern
ing the caso by the supreme court.
Brock way was born in Connecticut sixty
six years ago. He studied in Yale college
anil began his career of forging In 1843. Ho
was imprisoned ior his first offense but
managed to break jail. In 1865 lie obtained
a lead impression of a plate and counter
feited SIOO treasury notes. He next coun
terfeited SSO treasury notes and then put
his hand to $1,600 permanent bonds. Thou
he made a $500,000 treasury note. In 1875
he issued a thousand dollar “Morris Road”
treasury note and in 1880 put on the market
six SIOO,OOO national battle notes. He next
triod with Jamos B. Doyle $200,000 six per
ceut. coupons. Doyle was arrested and
sentenced to twelve years in prison.

Prevention Better Than Cure.
The following statement speaks for it
self:
“This certifies that I was, with my fam
ily, a resident of New Orleans during the
terrible vellow fever epidemic which
visited that city in 1578. We vserostrangers
there, and unaeclimated, but Having pre
viously used Ayer’s Ague Cure for malarial
disorders, I fully believed it would prove a
preventive of the scourge. I took the Ague
Cure myself, and had my little girls taso It
daily, but I could not, |i'und* my husband
to use it. He feil sick of the fever and
dual, but my children and I were not at
tacked. Our exemption from sicknes st
this time was consi lered miraculous, but I
be.ieve it was due to Ayer's Ague Cure, and
lee! sure that we owe to this medicine the
fact that we survived the epidemic ”
