The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, GA
---Mr. G. Bauer, of the United States secret service, reached the city 
yesterday, having in custody two white men, D.W. Kellett and Henry May, who 
were arrested night before last in Cedartown upon the charge of making and 
passing counterfeit money.  For some time past the secret service men have been 
aware of the fact that counterfeitin was being plied in that locality, and some 
time ago Mr. Jones, one of the force, was detailed to work the case.  His work 
was well executed and the evidence so conclusive that the conviction is 
assured.  When Kellett was arrested he was in the act of making a silver 
dollar.  The mold was before him and the metal was upon the fire.  With the men 
over one hundred silver dollars, four hundred and twenty nickles, several 
moulds and some Babbit’s metal were found with them.  They are both now in jail 
in this city.
