about eighty Years ago, collecting old
| copper COINS, was murdered i'll the Ma
hanoy valley, then a wilderness, by Il
hunter named Bailey, who supposed the
| collectors treasure consisted of gold AMI
silver. When Bailey found Fowlslagers
collection WAS only copper he buried it
in the ground. Bailey's crime was dis.
covered, and he was executed in Read
ing after making full confession. A
few days ago a number of boys, while
playing aroInd the Lawtons' collicry,
near Mahanoy City, found the coins
buried closc by an old stump. There

fenced by a tribunal composed of the
Abbcss and two nuns "tO undergo the
tornents of purgatory.' Having con-
vcyed her to a cell in which was ali iron
stove heated red hot, they tied her hands
tightly together behind her back, held
her face down for several minutes close
to the surface Of the glowing metal until
her scorchcd ewes had lost their sight
forever and her whole face was convert
ed into one huge blister. So profound
was the horror generated throughout the
! sisterhocd that It's perpetrators, despite
conventual discipline, were denounced
by several members of the community
to the local authorities. who, after insti-
lltlng searching inquiry INTO the en-
cumstances Of the case, have consigned
the Abbess and her confederate tor
mentors to prison, where they are now
