speaks at all, 81 had a good reason
to kill her." Edward J. Macdonald,
trooper, man of mystery, and slayer
of his wife, sits at the District jail,

of how he shot down his wife. Ger

vulge to his attorneys where his
parents may be found.
IF l had the choice of living and
letting the world know my parentage
after what has happened, I'd go to
the gallOws, If l have to, rather than
divulge their name and their home,
he says.
Like the Guardsman.
And in this man. emotional at times,
vet calm when the moment came for
him to send the fatal bullets into his
young wife, Washington has a proto-
type OF the Gdardsman immortalized by
Wilde. who wrote in The Ballad of

he loves
Let this bv each be heard,
Some do II with a bitter look,
Some with a flatterinC word.
The coward does il with a kiss

MacDonald's history is a strange one.
He was trOoper-an American
"GuardSman." He married Gertrude
Shaw while he was in the army. With
but a month to serve, he deserted. He
was captured, and spent a year at Gov
crnor's Island. a military prisoner.
When his time was out he returned 10

their appetites with them. There were
ham and eggs, coffee and hot rolls,
cereals, vegetables, and everything else
imaginable to appease the appetite of Il
hungry group of men.
No, we are not going to walk back.

this. Children and persons in run
