Manchester Sept. 11-George DeLa1r,
the self confessed murderer Of the IT,
year-old wife of John Allen, of Hop
xinton. several months ago. hopes to
escape the extreme penalty for his
heinous crime and even get off with
less than life imprisonment according
to a statement which he made yester-
day. 1t is quite probable that the muir
derer will plead guilty and not wait for
the grand jury to bring an indictment
against him. He still maintains that
the girl Tilted him after they We're en-
gagged, Notwithstanding the fact that
the parents and those familiar with
the circumstances state that the girl
had never given him any reasons for
such a belief. He said that he would
rather go to the gallows than to be
sent to prison for life. He does not
show any signs of remorse for his
deeds. but admits that he killed the
girl because he was Tilted for another
man. If the prisoner concludes to
plead guilty without the usual formal
ity of a grand jury hearing, Judge
George w. Durham will be the judge
to pass sentence upon him.

A resident OF Anderson dropped into
The Intelligencer Office yesterday and
showed people In the Office one of the
queerest coins that any of them had
ever seen. The coin was made by
the Eapk OF England and It was of the
five shilling denomination. This was
D coin of the emergency period and
was made in 1904 by the Bank OF En-
gland during the Napoleon g war. The
coin was one of those Instituted by the
bank wien it. was Efofcesf ssto SUSPEND
payment OF specie and when the paper

ernmeiit. WAS refused on every hand !.
This created such financial stringen-
cy that the Bank OF England .annonn-
eed Its Willingness to coin hii gold and
silver brought TO the hank at the
banks own risk. AT that time con-
ditions in Europe were as much up-
set as they are now or even more SO
as Nap plenn Nes al that time at{his
height. The Bank Of England saved
the situation at that time and itSwoiilt
appear that some such step, may again
be necessary there, unless It has al
ready bess put Int practice.
