SENTENCE
SUSPENDED.

| Before Judge Bradford in the
| United States District Court yester-
day afternoon George Davis entered
a plea of guilty to the charge Of
ntteriug counterfeit silver dollars at
New Cattle. On December l6, last
Davis made tour of the stores IN
New Castle buying small articles
and paid for same In each instance
with a counterfeit dollar So perfect
was the lmita tion that experts would
take the spurious coins. He was
brought into the court this morning
for sentence.
Davis in speaking Of the workhouse
said 1t Is tirst class institution with
plenty Of fresh air. good light and a
Chief Warden in charge who shows
no favors to any one. He and his
deputy are gentlemen and the food is
all that a man could desire The
bill OF fare is ditferent from that OF a
hotel This morning." said Davis
II had two large pieces OF scrapp'e
and all the bread and coffee that
man could use. AS for the dinner
good corn beef, turnips and potatoes
IN their jackets would remove the
gilt edge of good appetite. So
far as Davis could see at the work
house the greatest need is library.
In the evening when the men have
completed their days work they
need books to read and on Sunday
when the time drags slowly in the
cells good reading would remove the
mono,ony Of the situation.
While at the workhouse Davis fol.
lowed hlsayocation, that Of barbering
and cut the hair VI 107 white men.
In that way he came IN contact with
the prisoners and from them he
learned that they were satisfied with
their treatment.
Judge Bradford appeared on the
beach at II o'clock aud said. SOW.

by me by reason Of contagion at
the place Of confinement allotted bv

States, the imprisonment of Federal
prisoners whose terms exceed cer-
tain limit and that the state pris-
oners are not being received at
that institution, it would he mani.
festly improper and might be preju-
dicial to this defendant to pro-
nounce sentence today. Under the
circumstances sentence will be sus.
pended until Monday. February3,
