ANGRY SCENE IN COURT
Murderer Accuses His Associate (Received 23, 8.45 a.m.) PARIS, Dec. 22. Following the confession of Eugene Weidmann, who is alleged to have confessed to several murders, that he murdered Madame Jeanne Keller, the police dug up the body of Mme. Keller at the spot indicated by Weidmann in the Forest of Fontainebleu. Weidmann retraeted his confession that he murdered a man called Leblond, for whieh he blames his associate, Boger Millions. A magisterial inquiry into the death of Lebond was held to-day at Versailles. Weidmann, instead of prison garb, wore a sruart suit brought from the "Villa of Death." Exchanges between the two men — Millions and Weidmann — grew heated as the cxamination proceeded. At one stage Millions cried: "You're erazy, Weidmann! You murdered six people! You're a monster!" Weidmann replied: "I thought at first I would take the blame for all the murders, but you weren't worth it. You let me ' nvn. Don't you recall that you asked me how to do it, and I told you to aim at the neck." Millions replied: "Nq, it was you who killed liim." When the examiuation coneluded, Weidmann left the room smiling. Millions looked angry.
