Brooklyn, toy salesman, known to
hundreds as the North Greek

pleted plans for his twenty-sixth
goodwill trip into northern War

Mr.. Coplon, who collects toys

after began his widespread dis
tribution of toys to children. In
that time, he has visited many
towns, and in late years has been
assisted by residents of the various
sectors.

Eugene Weidmann, "Bluebeard'
Of st. Cloud, broke down and wept
today when he was shown the
effects of Jean De Koven, Brook.
lyn dancer, one of his six con-
feSsed victims.
II did a terrible thing" he
sobbed. II did a terrible
thing"
GRILLED AT LENGTH
For two hours Weidmann was
grilled by Magistrate Berry in
the Versailles Court in an attempt
to solve other murders which
have puzzled French police.
Apparel belonging to more than
a score OF women found in the
murder villa at st. Cloud was held
up before him.
But it was not until he saw
the little purse from which he
stole a few hundred francs after
strangling Miss De Koven that
Weidmann broke down with
hysterical sobs.
WEEPS VIOLENTLY
He wept so violently that he
had to be led back to his cell.
Weidmann faced the possibility
Of a still worse ordeal later in
the day, when he will probably
face Roger Million, his accomplice
and now bitter enemy. Both,
police said, may be taken to the
villa for reenactment of the
crimes.
The body of Miss De Koven,
disinterred from the st. Cloud
clay, will be sent to New York on
the Berengaria tomorrow.

Preaching by the pastor. Subject:
"The Urgency of the Harvest"
We may suppose that the wheat
crop. when Jesus talked with the
woman at Jacobs well, was very
promising. 1t was about four
months previous to the beginning
of the harvest. The harvest began
about the middle of April, and
lasted till Pentecost. The people
from the city, it may be presumed
were now visible, Fastening thru
the fields toward the well, and by
turning His eye upon them or
stretching His eye upon them, or
lifting His hand toward them,
Jesus interpreted His words to
His disciples. These Samaritans
could now be gathered into the
garner of the Lord.
