FIVE MEN SEIZED

Reynolds, who had been Joined in the
Investigation by Sergeant Frank Varelli,
appeared at Police Headquarters in this
city in the hope that the murder might
have O New York end.
Inspector Faurot quickly Identified the
murder victim. On the inside Of his
coat there had been found the name
"Jahnsen." The mark was traced to an
Eldridge street tailor. The tailor identi-
fed the coat as that Of Binkowitz. Thu

The sequence Of events, as pieced to-
gether from information provided by
Mayer last night, follows:
Binkowitz was a munitions worker at
the plant Of the Remington Arms Com
pany in Bridgeport in the summer of
1917. He earned wages that were large
for a youth and had the means to find
diversion at the dance places Of Bridge
port, New Haven, Myrtle Beach and
Milford. His money and his ability as
a mixer in the kind OF company that
frequents the lower class of dance halls
and cabarets won him many friends.
After munitions work ceased to be prof
table and he returned to New York. 1t
was his custom to spend Saturday nights
and Sundays in New Haven.
On August 10 Binkowitz was at a
meeting with six men, all of them men
of bad character and some of them
with prison records at New Haven. On
August IL he stole the bonds of Whit
ney & Co. Following the robbery until
the night Of August II Binkowitz was
secreted in a Bridgeport hotel.
Binkowitz. despite his youth, was not

He held on to his bonds and refused
to talk business except to one who was
in a position to buy them. His pose

Ancient Deodar Trees of

The natives of the hill regions OF
India consider the deOdar tree almost
sacred. As its name implies. IL is the
tree of the gods. and around many of
the picturesque little temples one sees
magnificent groves of fine old deodarS,
perhaps 500 or 900 years old, trees that
no one would dream of cutting. for
they are considered MS the personal
property of the gods. Even should n
deodar fall down from old age. no

as he believes, would certainly result.
If house We're built of the sacred
timber either the house would refuse
to stand, or-what is the more usual
form of the gods displeaSure-the
owners family would fall victims to
some terrible disease. or his crops
would fail to ripen. A hllmap who
has had to pass through one of these
groves will carefully remove even dry
needles that have stuck To his feet for
fear that he may arouse the gods dis
pleasure by inadvertently removing
some of his property.
