persons had just witnessed a marriage
ceremony in the Church of Our Lady

day, when a gigantic, pough-looking
stranger. wearing a miners cap, en-
tered the building.
Suddenly he started up the aisle on
a run. Father Jordan was just NOV
ing toward the sanctuary. The APP
parently crazed man vaulted the altar
rail and reached the priest just as the
later reached the sanctuary. Detec-
tive-Sergeant Moran was in the church
He had followed the stranger in his
dash up the aisle and arrived just in
time TO prevent the man from Selling
the priest.
Moran had a desperate fight to
subdue the giant who was pow
erful in proportion to his build. In
the meanwhile the women in the
church were panic-stricken.
AT police headquarters the prisoner
