Palladium of Liberty, Morristown, NJ, February 10, 1820, p. 2.
Corydon, Indiana, January 13-There was found about the first of this month
in a cave in this county about $1,000 counterfeit bank notes on different
banks. Mr. Nathan Leatch and Isaac Meek entered the cave for the purpose of
looking for salt petre when they came to a bottle about half full of linseed
oil, a block with two rollers supposed to be used for striking bank notes
and, searching further through a narrow passage of about 40 feet into a
large apartment, they found the money. No plates have as yet been
discovered, but it is expected they likewise are concealed therein. It did
not appear that the place had been resorted to very lately or that the
materials had been lately used.
