Riderless Horse
It was not known for
sure whether Mrs. Lincoln ‘
actually made the march
on April 19, 1865 when
thousands followed her
husband's coffin on foot. -
State department spokes- ’
men said research showed
members of Lincoln's
family followed, but the
widow was not mentioned •
in records they could find. ‘'
Lincoln’s riderless horse ”
also followed his caisson. '
Mrs. Kennedy Sunday sent
her thoroughbred bay
gelding, Sardar, to fil th
symbolic role. The horse,
a gift to her from Pakis-
tan President Ayub Khan,;
a bit skittish and nervous, ’
was led with empty
saddle, stirrups turned
backwards and boots emp- ’ '

looked for a long moment
at the faces of those who

seemed to look searching-
ly at the faces of the im-
coming throng.
“Let me walk, let me
walk,” she said to the
president's brother as they
descended the capitol
steps.
Many Details
It was learned Mrs.
Kennedy personally had
decided on many of the de-
tails of the presidential fu-
neral, including the deci-
sion that the mourners
would walk some eight
blocks from the White
House as was done at the
funeral of Abraham Lin-
coin, the president slain
almost 100 years ago.
Protocol and research
Joining Mrs. Kennedy at
the White House were the
attorney general, his wife ’
Ethel, the president's sis-
ters, Eunice Shriver, Pa-
tricia Lawford and Jean -5
Smith, with their hus-
bands, the president's ‘
youngest brother, Sen. Ed-
ward M. Kennedy and-hi 2
wife, Joan. Also Mrs.
Kennedy’s younger sister, -
Lee Radziwill, who flew *
here from London.
Mrs. Kennedy's mother
and stepfather, Mr. and
Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss,
who live in nearby »
Georgetown, were to be at -
the funeral, too.
Sen. Kennedy thanked
everyone Sunday night for
a “tremendous outpouring
of prayers and sympathy.”
The messages of condol-
ence were “a tremendous
consolation to my par- '
ents,” he said at the air- 7
port in Hyannis Port.

WASHINGTON (A —
Mrs, John F. Kennedy
went back for a second
look at her husband's cas-
ket in the capitol rotunda
and pleading,, “let me
walk, let me walk.” min-
gled with crowds that
mourned the slain presi-
dent.
The 34-year-old widow of
President Kennedy seemed
reluctant to leave his cas-
ket.
With her two children,
she had come in a funeral
procession Sunday after-
noon to leave the presi-
dent's body to lie in state
in the capitol for public
viewing by many.
Kissed Casket
Mrs. Kennedy, with her
little daughter Caroline be-
side her, had knelt and
kissed the casket before
she departed about 2:30
p.m.
Unexpectedly, she was
back about 9 o'clock Sun-
day night, on the arm of
her brother-in-law, Attor-
ney General Robert F.
Kennedy, as long lines of
people waited to pass the
president's bier.
She walked slowly by
the ropes keeping the pub-
lic from the casket area
and once again knelt and
kissed the coffin.
