                          COUNTERFEITERS
                      Raleigh, Oct. 25, 1811

   THE REV. FREEMAN KILLINGWORTH, a Magistrate of Johnston County, was 
apprehended last week on a charge of counterfeiting silver dollars. Search 
being made, a monkey (or mould in which dollars are stamped) was found in his 
chest, and some other discoveries made. There is great reason to believe that 
this man and BENJAMIN CLARK of Wake County, (lately arrested) and we lament to 
say, many others, (some of whom as a cloak to their villiany are preachers of 
the Gospel) are concerning in counterfeiting.
   KILLINGSWORTH was bailed in $4,000 to appear at the next Superior Court for 
Johnston County.
