 two years prior to his death he had ofhciated as rector. The church was thronged with parishioners and friends of the deceased clergyman, for he had many devoted friends The service was in keeping with his life and man. ner, plain and simple, yet. carrying
 with it the token of the dignity of service for the Master and the sense of duty well done.
 There were tears in the eyes of many last upon the body of their rector be- fore the lid of the coffin was closed over him and many wept silently dur ing the service for the dead which fol- lowed.

witnesses how the police had forced a
confession from him.
Don't you see it?" he would cry,
according to the testimony today.
Then, armed with a towel and a pill
low, he would go through the motions
of a terrible battle against the unseen
specter that seemed to haunt his cell
and corridor.
He would follow up these terrible
distortions by slipping off his clothes
and running around the corridor in
ing the unseen vision. Then he would
dress again and roll cigarettes, on
which he puffed necessarily.
Attorney Frank Waggaman, of coun-
sci for the defense, told of trying to
confer with the imprisoned man,
whom the defense says wes the vic
tim of police third degree methods
and the mental trouble.
He described McCleary as so ir-
rational that he could get no definite
answer from him concerning the al
legged confession.
''He told me that Shiny (Chief Frid-
niger of the Hagerstown policel had
murdered some of the McCleary
family, but that he knew how to make
Shiny confess" declared the attorney.
Friendly With Spirit.
He said that he was on friendly
terms with the spirit of Mrs. Henry,
the murdered woman, and he pointed
over to the corner where he said she
was sitting" continued the attorney.
Then he told me to get Shiny down
on his knees, after which he would
bring the spirit of Mrs. Henry over
and have it say to Shiny, Confess.

Attorney Waggaman declared that
the prisoner then remarked that the
police had put him through such a
course of treatment.
"A white spirit" it was, according to
the evidence, that wrung from him
the signature to the confession. The
white spirit ordered Confess, con-
fess."
McCleary's Manner Wierd.
During this conversation with the at
torney, McCleary's eyes were oloodshot
and his manner weird an strained.
He told the attorney that he didn't
want to see him there, but that he
would get out at night and confer in
the attorneys home. He likewise con-
fided that he could go free from The
dark cell II he would confess.
While Attorney Waggaman was tcs-
tifying McCleary sat with his eyes al
furiously. Only now and then would
he cast a furtive glance at the court
and witness. His spirit today is still
that of hope but he is showing signs of
increasing nervousness.
His attorneys are relying on the ad-
mission of the insanity evidence to
shatter the States claim on the confess
sion. The State. while planning to in
troduce some circumstantial evidence
bearing directly on the murder, is re-
