Engineer Arrested For Counterfeiting Charge Making And Passing Os Nickels CLEVELAND (INS)—A «4-year-old New Jersey man was being held today in Cuyahoga county jail, charged with successfully making and passing $5,000 w&rth of counterfeit nickels. The man is Francis L. Henning, an inventive engineer, who turned out 300,000 nickels at a small factory in Erial, N. J. before packing up his belongings and heading west. He was picked up by secret service agents in Cleveland Friday, appeared before U. 8. commission H. A. Horn and was held on $15,000 bond. When agents found him in Cleveland, he was working as a mechanical engineer earning S7OO a month. R. E. Holmes, secret service agent in charge of the Cleveland district, said that his men found hundreds of dollars worth of equipment in Henning's room, allegedly to be used for making counterfeit $5 bills. Holmes said that Henning passed the bogus nickels at banks in Philadelphia and Camden by telling banks he vending machines and picked up a lot of coins. “He made one slight mistake and it tripped him,” Holmes explained. It was determined last June that nickels were phony when one turned up at the Federal Reserve Bank in Philadelphia. The nickel had a 1944 date, but had no letter on the back to indicate it had been made at the Philadelphia mint. “Up through 1944,” Holmes said, “the mints put a small letter on the back of the coin to indicate where it was minted. Henning’s coin did not have such a letter.” Early Christmas Al Beatty Hospital Plan Parties For Mental Patients WESTVILLE, Ind. (INS) — Christmas will come four days early to the Dr. Norman M.
