LOYALTY DAY
HERE SUNDAY
ARK OF THE COVENANT To
BE SHOWN AT FIRST
BATIPST CHURCH

In connection with Loyalty
Day" in the First Baptist church
this coming Sunday, one of the
most unique Services that has ever
been conducted in Key West has
been arranged fer Sunday night,
states Rev. Yancy Tillman She
hane, pastor of this church.
Pastor Shehane has arranged
to have the Ark of the Covenant,
the Mercy Seat and the Cherubims
all arranged at the Altar just as
God gave His first form of wor-
ship in the Ancient Temple in Old
Testament days.
The Ark of the Covenant will
have the design Of the Old An
Gent Covenant, and the Mercy
Seat will be arranged just as in
olden days, when God met His
people at the Mercy Seat to scom-
mune with them in their service,
states the pastor.
Everybody in this service will
be given the privilege of placing
their offerings in the Ark of the
Covenant Sunday night.
A service of this kind, Rev.
shehane says, is not only inspir-
ing, but is very informing, be-
cause it enables people to see with
their own eyes just how God or
ganized and conducted His first
form of Tabernacle worship, and
then, how He has given a New
Covenant, in Christ Jesus.
The Cher1bims will overshad-
ow the Mercy Seat with Wings
Sunday night in this service.
Every member of the church is
urged to attend this service, and,
as always. all friends and visitors
are given most cordial invita-
ton.

that pictures Of Irwin in q detec-
tive magazine looked amazingly
like her fellow worker, Robert
Murray" at the bar Of the Statler
Hotel here.
Sought As He Confessed
When she asked him about It he
turned his back. Then he fled.
And police were looking for him at
the very moment he was confess.
ing to his bloody crimes.
Miss KoScianSki and other fel-
low workers Of Irwin at the bar
here considered him queer. He
spoke on wide variety of sub
jectS, but had curious habit of
stopping his conversation abruptly
and changing the subject, they
said.
Extremely absent-minded, he
couldn't remember where he had
laid cigarette or placed q bar.rag.
He spoke with an extensive vocab-
ulary and talked feelingly Of art
and science.
Miss Koscianski came to work
at the Statler April %, two weeks
after Irwin did. She didn't get
to know him very well until they
started on a night shift together
about 10 days ago.
Girl Spurns Date
After several conversations,
Irwin asked for a date. She re.
fused, telling him she didn't go
out with persons she didn't know.
On several occasions, Irwin per-
sisted in asking her for dates.
She always refused.
Last week Irwin offered to draw
Miss Koscianski'S picture. She
agreed. During the process of
drawing the picture, he walked UP
to his subject and placed his
hands on her neck. She told him
to 60 away. She quoted Irwin as
saying:
"YOu are very beautiful. YOu
remind me Of Fay Webb. She Is
dead now, but We were good
friends. She often posed for
me.

That night I said to myself I

after killing Ethel, then they

ance at the police lineup.
1t was expected he would be
taqen to the Gedeon apartment
later in the day to reenact the
murders. His fingerprints were to
be compared with those found in
the murder apartment, a formal
ity that did not alarm Irwin. He
said:
"Sure I left my prints. They
must have been all over the
place."
District Attorney Dodge con.
coded that he anticipated an in
sanity defense. He asserted:
81 don't see how there can
be any other defense, but In my
opinion Irwin is sane. He knows
the difference between right
and wrong"
Dodge admitted the police had
not yet obtained Twins signature
to the Official confession" he
made at dawn today.
Extra precautions were taken to
prevent an attempt at suicide.
Irwin's necktie, belt and shoe laces
were taken from him, and a special
guard was placed in his cell.
When Irwin was taken from the
court house to a prison van,
Shackles were placed on him. The
street was crowded. Every fire es-
cape of the tenementS held gal
leries of spectators.
While Irwin languiShed in his
cell new accusations came out OF
his past.
Gilbert Magi, an artist who en-
ployed Irwin two years ago, told
a story of being attacked with a
butchers cleaver by the sculptor.
A nurse at Rockland State HoSpi-
tai, where Irwin once was q patient,
charged that Irwin had attacked
o demented girl, threatening to
kill her unless she submitted to
him.
Both District Attorney Dodge
and Police Commissioner Valen-
tine said the revised and correct
ed" confession would be hurried
before the grand jury. Valentine
said:
1--WE are more than pleased
with the nights results"
1t was shortly after midnight
when Irwin. strutting and posing,
was uShered into the office Of AS
Sistant Chief Inspector Lyons at
headquarters. and the long, grind
ing ordeal Of questioning was un-
der way.
Only Irwin. who had talked on
and on in Chicago to reporters,

wasn't in the mood to talk. He
sulked. Finally, he openly defied
his queStioners, declaring:
1--WE told my story once
that's enough" / won't even
say whether my confession aS
published is correct"
Two reporters, who had heard
Twins boastful story in Chicago,
were called in, but they couldn't
make him talk. When Irwin
baked, the police went after him
again.
Three hours passed. Irwin be.
came worried. At his request, they
sent for Wertham, associate pro-
lessor of psychiatry, New York
University, who had once treated
Irwin at Bellevue.
Irwin and the alienist went to q
nearby office. They could be
heard talking earnestly. Within
a few minutes they emerged, re-
turned to the police room, and the
official confession came quickly.
Falls Asleep in Cell
At 6:25 this morning the con.
fession was complete, and Irwin,
no longer a dapper young man
anxious to show off, was led to a
cell. The sculptor. lay on the cot,
covered himself with his coat.
using an arm as a pillow. At 6:31
he was asleep. At 8 he was still
sleeping.
Irwin was rushed here by plane
from Chicago last night. When
the plane landed at Floyd Bennett
Field, the prisoner waved jauntily
to the crowd of 1000, then com.
manded his detective escort:
"Take me out of here quick.
I'm getting tired Of crowds"
In Chicago, he had put q sur
prised official in his place with
the curt comment that he didn't
care to discuss his affairs in
public. He had laShed out at a
movie camera and knocked a
detective over. He had seen a
