The Father, Mother, Daughter and Son Arrested for Counterfeiting Coin of the Realm. The Old Man Made Bogus Nickels, Dimes and Half Dollars and the Others Passed Them A Regular Family Affair. As the result of months of patient toil and watching, Detectives Auble, Haw-ley ad Moffltt yesterday broke up a counterfeiter's den In this city that has baffled the skill of the detective force and Federal authorities for half a year. It was a family affair, and as the result of the raid J. H.

Ormandey and his family, consisting of his wife, eighteen-year-old daughter and fourteen-year-old son, are now behind the bars of the County Jail. The officers could have made their descent on Ormandey and his Interesting family some months ago, but they desired to get the fullest evidence and capture the whole gang if possible. That they have the whole outfit they are fully satisfied, but for a long time they believed Ormandey had confederates outside his family circle. The attention of the detectives was first called to. the money factory November 19, 1894, by counterfeit nickels, which various tradesmen complained were finding their way.

Into their tills. Close watch was kept, and it was discovered that the spurious coins were being systematically circulated by Or-mandey's wife, daughter and son. The officers shadowed them to their home', which was a-small house In the rear of No. 713 South Olive street. They became convinced that a man or men In the house were furnishing the coins, but could never get sight of a man about the place, although the house was watched day and night for months.

At first nearly all the purchases made by the family were paid for with nickels. The boy sold newspapers and this gave him a good chance to work them off In making change. By and by they began to pass spurious dimes and half dollars. This showed that the counterfeiter was getting bolder and increasing the output of his mint. For some time it was conjectured that the coins might be manufactured at some place apart, from the house, but at last they concluded that Ormandey's money factory and residence were under the same roof.

A search warrant was therefore procured from the United States Commissioner, and yesterday morning decided upon as a good time to make the raid. Detectives Auble and Hawley, who had been working up the case, took Chief Detective Moffltt with them as a precaution in case there were more than one man in the house. As the officers approached the house they met the boy, and, seeing that he scrutinized them closely and might give the alarm, they first arrested him and took him to the station where they tried to induce him to divulge some of the family secrets, but the lad was too smart and would not say a word to Incriminate, himself or any of his folks. i The bov httntr Inolrarl tin Vi htectlves again sallied forth. They saw ana.

urmanaey leave tne nouse, but let her go, as they knew where they could get her whenever she was wanted. She was going out to peddle a cosmetic which she has been vending about the city, that occupation affording her a good opportunity to palm off counterfeit change. When the officers reached the house Detective Auble knocked at the door. Ormandey himself opened it, and on seeing the three detectives plainly showed his alarm. It did not take the officers long to state their mission and serve the search warrant.

When asked if any bogus coins or counterfeiting apparatus were in the house, Ormandey hesitated a moment, then said: "Yes. Come this way and I will show It to you." He led them through the kitchen into a little room opening from it, but which was securely locked. After unfastening the door, his workshop' was disclosed, but there was not much In sight to indicate the character of the place. The counterfeiter, however, pointed to a large trunk and a cupboard, which, he said, contained his outfit. In the trunk and cupboard were found a full kit of counterfeiting tools, bars, of the metal used, and finished and unfinished coins.

Both the tools and the product of the miniature mint showed that the counterfeiter was a skilled workman. The bogus coins are splendid facsimiles of the genuine ones, hav? a splendid ring and color, but are a trifle light and have a smooth, glassy touch that gives "them away. Ormandey cast the coins in plaster-of-Paris molds which he made himself. For milling the coins he used very fine flies, and the work entailed, especially in making nickels, made the coins almost full value when they were done. All the evidence was gathered up and taken to the police station, together with Ormandev and hla rimi-hto Tk.
