The Daily Dispatch: October 31, 1861., [Electronic resource], Fatal accident. (search)
Counterfeiting --The negro Robert Jones, slave of John C. Allen, who attempted to pass a $20 Treasury note with forged signatures, at the store of Wm. Thalheimer, two or three days ago, was examined yesterday before Commissioner Watson, and remanded for trial at the next regular term of the Confederate States Circuit Court. It appears that Wm. Flegheimer, a clerk in the Treasury Department, was present when the note was offered, and seeing at once that the signatures were not genuine, detained the note and gave information which led to the arrest. The negro gave a bungling account of the manner in which he obtained it, telling several stories which proved to be falsehoods. The note was undoubtedly stolen, either from the lithographic establishment or the Department, and signed by some person of no great pretensions to good chirography.
