Temple, Tex.--(AP)--Pvt. William H. Edwards' foot was

}lown off and he was crying for water, but the three German; gnored his pleas.

They wired explosives to his body, and left him--a human booby trap.

Edwards told his strange story Thursday at McCloskey General hospital here...How his right foot had been blown off by a mine... Sow the Germans fastened the explosives to him.

How he knew that if he moved he was doomed...or if help came when he was unconscious, he and his rescuers would be killed.

And he lay there for hours between American and German lines in

the Huertgen forest, under a constant artillery barrage. German 88

shell fragments hit his left leg as he waited.

It all started simply enough, Private Edwards said Thursday.

This member of the Fourth infantry division, who has a wife and

six children in Hayti, Mo., had begun what was to have been a 40-min

ute night patrol. '

New York--(UP)--The German consulate at Boston, with the help of German ship crews, brazenly recruited Americans to serve as Nazi spies in 1940, a secret military commission was informed Wednesday at the trial of two alleged spies.

One of the men on trial, William C. Colepaugh of Connecticut, said the Germans entertalned him at beer parties, invited him aboard their ships and "discussed with me the possibility of my going: to Germany."

Colepaugh made his statement to the federal bureau of investigation soon after his arrest and it was offered in evidence Wednesday against him and Erich Gimpel, the other prisoner.

Gimpel is a native of Germany. The two allegedly "invaded" the United States from a Nazi submarine last Dec. 29, benton espionage and sabotage. The report . on Colepaugh's statement, relayed by armv public relations officers from the star chamber trial, indicated that the trip to Germany was offered Colepaugh- so he could
