Cassville Republican, Thursday, March 3, 1892

It was developed in the trial of old man Van Vactor yesterday before Commissioner Howell that the neighborhood around Verona, Aurora and Monett is honeycombed with a gang of counterfeiters, who are working off a large quantity of spurious money. Van Vactor is one of their leaders and there was abundant evidence to warrant his being bound over to the May term of the Federal Court in Springfield. Springfield Democrat.
