Aroused from a sound sleep on a
bench in the prisoners pen IN the
mezzanine floor, Mcfarland was
taken to his seat at the attorneys
table.
AS the jurors entered he rose, folded
his arms and eyed them unfiinchingly
n by one as they took their seats.
He had stood in exactly the same
o when he had risen to hear

rattle of handclapping broke out,

gavel.
Many of the spectators rushed into
the lawyers enclosure and tried to
seize MacFarland's hand.

to Jimmy Clark and Otto Lebert, the
constables who had guarded him dur
Ing the trial.

and said:

a wedding"
John Hancock, of the marriage IL
cense bureau. agreed to keep his Of
fee open, despite the lateness of the
hour.
Followed by an excited crowd. UNI
certain whether to boot or cheer and
often trying to do both at once, Miss
Bromley and Mcfarland were driven
10 the City Hall.
This was MacFarland's ped;sree as
he gave it to Mr.. Hancock:
"Age?"
"Fhirty-six-December 8 next"
