Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 104, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 September 1898 — Bulger’s Alleged Pal is Bound Over. [ARTICLE]

Bulger’s Alleged Pal is Bound Over.

Philip Amick, the Idaville merchant, who was arrested Saturday, on affidavit of Frank Bulger, who tried to pass the bogus bills in Rensselaer, was examined Monday, before U. S. Commissioner Severson, at Lafayette. Bulger was brought from Indianapolis to testify against Amick. The latter was bound over to the federal court in the sum of SSOO to answer the charge of counterfeiting money. Amick is engaged in business at Idaville and is said to own considerable property. It is now thought in Monticello that Bulger will be able to give bail and secure his release. It is the general opinion in Rensselaer among tnose who saw Bulger, that his story of having had an accomplice is true, as he seems to lack the ability to have performed the work on changing the bills.
