They're some of our favorites. We love telling you quirky stories from our history here on the show, and this one comes to you from Bill Bright, a friend from New Hampshire. It's a story of the best, worst counterfeiter. in American history. Emmerich Juttner also known as Edward Mueller.
who lived near Broadway and West 96th Street in Manhattan. eluded the counterfeiting laws from 1938 to 1948. longer than any other maker of the queer in American history. The first 63 years of Juttner's life were upright and respectable. Short, blue-eyed, white-haired, mustachioed, and blessed with a winning, if toothless, grin, Juttner had learned the rudiments of photo engraving in his native Austria.
After emigrating to America at 13, He worked as a building superintendent while tinkering with numerous unsuccessful inventions. With his children grown, the newly widowed Juttner retired in 1937 to the Upper West Side, where he lived with his mongrel terrier. He worked as a junk man, picking up discarded appliances and old tires from vacant lots with a push cart. but he wasn't making enough to live on and soon found himself nearing destitution.
So, using his ancient engraving skills, he photographed a dollar bill and recorded the images on sensitized zinc plates. which he then etched in an acid bath. With a little retouching and a small hand press, he was ready to make more money by, well, making more money. Um The U.S. Secret Service, which has chased counterfeiters since 1865, protecting presidents became part of their mission only in 1901.
First noticed Juttner's activity when a phony $1 silver certificate turned up at a cigar store on Broadway near 102nd Street. Even as the agency opened a new case file numbered 880, Agents felt everything about the bill was unusual. No one in recent times had considered singles worth the trouble to counterfeit. More importantly, the bill was obviously, laughably bad. While U.S.
currency was printed on 75% cotton and 25% linen stock with red and blue fibers of various lengths embedded in the paper, Juttner had used cheap bomb paper from some corner store. The numbers were fuzzy. Many of the letters were misshaped or illegible. Washington's portrait was, as the Secret Service itself reported, Poorly executed. Washington's right shoulder blends with the oval background.
The left eye is represented by a black spot. The right eye is almond shaped. But the bogus singles kept turning up. Those that could be traced have been passed to the subway and elevated lines. and newspaper vendors, bartenders, and other small businesses that handled hundreds, if not thousands, of $1 bills daily.
Juttner carefully passed his fakes only at busy times such as rush hour on the subway. A five-cent fare paid with a phony dollar yielded a 95-cent profit. And as the Secret Service later learned, Juttner never spent a fake in the same store twice and passed only one or two bills a day. By December 1939, File 880 contained some 600 counterfeits. The bills grew worse with time.
While touching up the plates, Juttner misspelled the President's name as W-A-H-S-I-N-G-T-O-N. Hua Xing Tun. Nonetheless, he kept passing bogus singles throughout World War II despite successive Treasury publicity campaigns. Apparently, many of those who found themselves holding a Juttner counterfeit kept it as a souvenir instead of turning it over to the government. By 1947, The Secret Service held over 5,000 of Juttner's phony singles.
Yet despite what New Yorker writer S. St. Clair McKelway called a manhunt that exceeded in intensity and scope. any other manhunt in the Chronicles of Counterfeiting. Despite thousands of interviews and hundreds of thousands of flyers, the agency didn't have a clue to his identity.
A few weeks before Christmas 1947, Juttner's apartment caught fire. New York's bravest, in extinguishing the blaze, piled the old man's junk in an alley where a sudden snowstorm buried it. The homeless old man stayed in Queens with his daughter while his apartment was being repaired. On January 13th, 1948, Several neighborhood youths noticed some 30 strange-looking $1 bills lying about the alley. Unlike countless businessmen who had accepted Juttner's signals, the kids instantly realized the bills were bogus.
One of their parents took some to the West 100th Street station house, where detectives identified them as counterfeit. The Secret Service quickly identified the tenant whose singed furnishings had been dumped in the alley. and arrested Juttner when he returned to his apartment a few days later. Juttner had succeeded because he passed no more bogus singles than necessary for his survival, only knocking off a few bills whenever he needed food or help paying his $25 monthly rent. Blandly admitting everything, Juttner was sentenced to a year and a day and fined.
One dollar. He was released after four months to live with his daughter and her family. After McElway profiled him in The New Yorker, 20th Century Fox filmed Mr. 880. with Edmund Gwen, renowned as Chris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street, in the title role.
Juttner made more money from the film than he had as a counterfeit. And great job on that, Robbie. And thanks to Bill Breich, our friend from New Hampshire. for delivering this story and, my goodness, one dollar at a time not twenties, not hundreds dollar at a time this man had, if anything, great discipline. And what a great story.
And we love telling, well, sort of funny stories. I mean, our whole team was laughing at this one. It was. Quite amusing. Bill Breich, thanks so much again, our friend from New Hampshire, and Americ Jutner's story, the best-worst counterfeiter in American history here.
