afternoon for Atlanta to begin his two
years term for impersonating an Of

vexed him. He had expected his law
yer would get a stay and had eK-
pected to be taken 10 the Pennsylvania

friends. The stay was not granted, and
instead of the taxi ride, Lamar was
compelled to walk ANONYMOUSLY while
handcuffed 10 two Federal deputy mar
shals from the Tombs to the Sixth Ave
nue. az" and again from the 81" sta
ton at Thirty third Street across TO
Seventh Avenue. A large crowd congre,
gated about the Tombs and followed
the procession.
Robert Fay. with whom Lamar e1-
pected to be handcuffed on the way to
Atlanta, was more fortunate. The bomb
man succeeded in getting q stay OF exc
cution of sentence on the ground tina,
he needed time to perfect his appeal.
