CHICAGO, Nov. .. = One hundred
thousand people looked upon the face
of Carter II. Harrison, worlds fair
mayor of Chicago, who had been muir
dered without warning by maniac
Prendergast, while the body lay in
state at the city hall yesterday after
noon, last night and this morning and
10, 600 more were in line when the hall
doors closed.
T. Then, with probably the greatest
funeral escort that ever accompanied
an American citizen. the body was
taken 40 the church of the Epiphany
where the last services were he'd. The
honors were paid by federal AID state
troops, city and national employees and
thousands and thousands of citizens
At 10 o'clock this morning the body
was borne from the black draped and
flower scented corridor of the city
hall where it had rested in state and
placed in the funeral car. Through
the great crowd that gathered the
black car slowly passed and took its
place in the waiting procession.
AS the hearse drew into the line, the
march was taken up and the thou
sands who had gathered to do honor
to the dead moved slowly through the
crowded streets with banners draped
and to the sad music of the funeral
march. Out from the center of the
city the great procession marched
across the river and to the beautiful
church of the Epiphany, near the late
executives home.
All along the line of march the peo-
pie with barred heads watched the
somber column and about the church
throng as great as that which had
been about the city hall was gathered.
Immediately following the great
black and golden hearse was the thor
ough bred mare, saddled and bridled,
but riderless, riding on which in
many a labor riot or fl, rec election
contest the dead mayor had been for
wears NOTABLE figure.
