field baud of counterfeiters and outlaws
who operated in Georgia, Tennessee and
Alabama. This band made and passed
thousands of dollars of counterfeit money
and killed six detectives who attempted
to capture them at different times. Joe
Bennefield is now serving a long term in
prison, and several members of the old
gang are dead. The Sigsbys were United the
last of the band left. Deputy
States Marshal Byers located Sigsby some
time ago, and representing himself as a
fugitive from justice, secured the confi¬
dence of the old man, and boarded with
him at his house in the mountains. It
was not a great while before the old out¬
law invited him to join in the work of
making counterfeit dollars. Sigsby also
asked the officer to join in blowing up a
house with dynamite for the purpose of
robbery. The mould used by the Sigsbys,
which is the same used by BeDnefield,
was captured, together with several hun¬
dred dollars of spurious coin.
