the sheriff at Huntsville. A few hours later Wilcoxson and Dr. Blanchard

turning out more were found on the two men. They were given a
preliminary hearing Monday before Commissioner Williams, and after Wilcoxson
had turned state's evidence, both were bound over to the Federal Grand Jury.
Wilcoxson declares he joined the manufacture of counterfeit money about
five months ago, and that, although he helped to make the money,

This invention relates to means for detecting fraud corrections in checks,
bills, law deeds and similar papers and flaws in precious stones.
Heretofore, it has been the custom to endeavor to locate such fraudulent corrections
or flaws by the use of a magnifying glass, but the detection of fraud in such papers
or the flaws in valuable gems has not
always been found to be successful by this method.
It is, therefore, one of the principal objects of this invention to provide an
amply constructed and readily operated device for accurately detecting flaws in gems and frauv as dulent'corrections in negotiable instruments which cannot be detected by the magnifying glass."
