Pastor of bridgeport Church Victim
OF Pfclpoclct During Baptism.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April CT
became known here that the Rev
George w. Nicholson, pastor of the
First Baptist church, was tile victim
Of d clever pickpoeket I'M time dur.
ing the special Easter musical service
In Ills church on Sunday evening. The
lev. Mr.. Nicholson's church Is one OF
tile most fashionable churches of the
Baptist denomination in Bridgeport.
The pastor refuses to discuss the
subject excepting to shy that d big rol
of money was taken from him during
the service and that it was In Il lower
pocket of his vest. He also refuses to
state the amount of the roll.
A committee of members of the
church has been appointed to investi-
gate the affair, and it is reported that
they are of the opinion that the pick
pocket got in his work during the
service, in which six Cinnamon were
Baptized. For many years Cinnamon
lave come to the church in classes,
and the teachers, daughters of well
known business and professional men,
have been successful in converting
them.
AT the special service there was an
unusually large attendance and n pro.
gramme that was designed to be very
impressive. The six Cinnamon were
duly immersed one by one and gasped
and clutched at the pastor as they
were drawn forth from the cleansing
water.
Mr.. Nicholson had the money in a
pocket of his waistcoat in bills of
large denominations. 1t is thought
that during his struggle for breath,
partly simulated, one of the converts
ieftly inserted his hand into the pock-
ct containing the bills and extracted
them. A handsome $3.50 watch pre-
sented to Mr.. Nicholson by his church
people a few years ago would have
shared the fate of the roll of bills had
not the chain held.

PlGcke, the champion of Holland,

night in a fight with kid" Mccoy at
the Lenox club. Standing six inches
taller and weighing over seventy
pounds more than his pale faced OPP
ponent, he was beaten almost insensi-
Bile in less than four minutes.
Placke never laid a glove on Mccoy
when the men clinched, and the cool,
calculating Mccoy darted in and out
and around his burly opponent almost
like lightning. He would feint with
his right and then drive his left to
the face %viciously, scarcely ever fail
ing to bring the blood. Before the
first round ended Placke was covered
with blood from his neck to his waist,
and both eyes were almost closed.
Just before the gong sounded an
nouncing the close of the first round
Mccoy drove a vicious left flush to
the chin, dropping Placke like a log.
The gong saved him from being knock
ed out. He was carried to his corner,
only to be knocked out ten seconds aft
err the opening of hostilities in the
second round. Mccoy tented with
his right and then drove his left
square to the point Of Placke's nose.
The latter intuitively placed his left
hand over the damaged organ and
dropped to his knee. The blood was
running from him in q stream. AS he
knelt by the rope the police appeared
at the ringside and stopped the bout.

Had the bomb exploded the Albany
