"A deputy marshall arrested and lodged in jail at Louisville, Alexander Coppage, a well-to-do farmer of Casey county, charged with counterfeiting. He is said to be a brother-in-law of Gen. Frank Wolford."--27 Jan 1885, Interior Journal (Stanford, KY)
"A few weeks ago we noted that Alexander Coppage, a citizen of good repute from Casey county, had been taken to Louisville on a charge of passing counterfeit money. Tuesday he was arrainged before the U.S. Court, when he plead that "the prosecution was instigated by a man who had seduced defendnt's daughter; that the counterfeit coin in question had been taken in by him in his business as a brandy distiller; that he was near sighted and unable to tell bad money from good." If this is really the state of the case, the old man ought to be acquitted and a chromo given to the man who will end the miserable career of the seducer and complainant."--13 Feb 1885, Interior Journal (Stanford, KY)
