PLOT NIPPED IN BUD
COUNTERFEITERS IN INDIA GAOL FOR ENGLISHMEN (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian Press Association) DELHI. Friday. The most sensational trial for counterfeiting in India for many years has concluded at Karachi. Four Indians were sent to prison for terms varying from two to seven years, and two Englishmen, G. E. Dickenson and C. D. Wheeler, were sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for two and four and a-half years respectively. It was disclosed that dies of rupees and of Persian and other coins were obtained by the agency of Wheeler from England. The finding of a case of dies at the Karachi customhouse led to the arrest of Captain R. P. Farrell, who turned King’s evidence. The operations were to have been conducted at a remote spot on the Persian-Baluchistan frontier.
