snap the picture Mr.. Shepard grabbed
three of the reporters and held them in
position while the picture was taken.

make elaborate preparations for such
an event" he said. when asked where
the wedding was To take place. .
When some one asked Mr. Shepard
if he and Miss Gould had made any

Mr.. Shepard is about . feet inches
in height, with dark complexion, and
