Then came the people, but for their manifestations of grief, passing In unbroken line before and flower-coverthe bier, sobbing their farewell. A train, black as the night through which It ran, bore the body to the little Ohio city whose residents called the Illustrious dead their townsman. Wednesday they looked on him for the last time.
