Pardoned Lifer Asks Per- mission ’to Remain at Wethersfield. . George Allen Sentenced to Prison for Life for Doing the Shooting. George Allen,-of Fairfield, who was sentenced to Wethersfield for life for kijling John Conklih, has been pardon- ed, but will not leave prison,-s'aying he prefers to stay where heis. This may seem very ridiculous-to manywbut it is. a fact, and the board of pardons have granted .him permission to stay in WetherSfield as long as he wants to. Twenty years ago Allen was sentenced. COnklin lived next door to Allen and tried his best to annoy his neighbor in every way he could. He even went so far as to go to Allen’s house while he was at work and turn everything up- side down. soldier, having served in the rebellion, came home from work one night and his wife told her husband that Conklin had been up to some more pranks. Without a word Allen got his gun and went over to Conklin’s house. He marched up and down outside the yard yelling that he had killed lots of men in war and guessed he could kill an- other. 7 . Conklin hearing Allen outside, went out and ordered him way. The latter pulled the trigger of the musket and Conklin fell on the stoop with the side of his neck shot off. Word was sent to Father Clemens who was at that time in charge of St. Thomas’ church, and when he saw Conklin’s condition he fell dead from heart dis- ease. Conklin died the next morning. Allen was arrested, found. guilty of murder in the second degree and sen- tenced to Wethersfield for life. Allen a few weeks ago. Hewas told he Was a free man and could go home if he wanted to, but he said he did not care to leave prison and asked permission to remain where he was. This was granted and now he is incharge of a gang Of prisoners working outside of the prison. This is the only case of the kind which has ever occurred in the state of Connecti- cut where a man who was serving a life sentence was pardoned and asked permission- to stay where he was. Al- len’s reason for wanting to stay is that he claims his family have all deserted him and he prefers to stay where he is as he has nowhere else toga.
