These men we're placed nearest the cata

between them and the casket on either

stream began to flow past the remains

person to view the remains today was
spare but sweet faced tie woman who
led with each hand little boy. In the
first minute only eighty-four persons
would never answer when the dense
crowd should be waiting outside, and
people we're fastened; they were hurried
through at lUl minute; then the pres
sure was increased to 104 a minute; the
procession was almost lock-step and the
tramp was quick, the tide was easily
formed OF persons who came
from the cars or, who passing through
the main street. were drawn in to the
stream by the desire to see the dead.
The hour from 6 to O'Clock was en-
plOyed BY working men and women,
boys and girls, in viewing the dead. All
through the hour the formation of the
line was at point near the fountain,
and the time of waiting was not more
than ten minutes from the point where
the line formed to the place where the
remains rested. After Z O'Clock, the
line changed as to its personnel; there
were less women and girls. The police
we're reinforced at o'clock. Details
under sergeants and rOundsmen have
been arriving and reporting to the in
SPector from I o'clock. At s O'Clock
