doors to the cathedral
were closed to the public
to allow final preparations
for the funeral. She seated
herself in a pew near the
casket, knelt and buried
her face in her hands.
Robert jr., the senator’s
second oldest son, came
three times, twice to stand
a 30-minute vigil by the
casket and once with some
family friends.
As he sat with his
friends in the cathedral
late in the evening, his
eyes cast downward, one
of the thousands of visitors
to the catafalque
screamed as she ap-
proached it. If the boy
heard, he gave no sign.
His older brother. .Jo-
seph. came at least once,
also to stand vigil.
Jacqueline Kennedy,
who 41; years ago lost her
husband by an assassin's
hand, came three times.
She, of all the Kennedy's,
was the most openly emo-
tional.
When she first came at
midday, just as Ethel Ken-
nedy left, Mrs. John F.
Kennedy went to the cas-
ket, genuflected before it.
then knelt at a pew to
pray. She momentarily
rested her head on the
back of the pew in front of
(her. When she raised her
•head slightly, she held a
'gloved hand over her eyes.
’. She was back again late
In the afternoon with her
own two children. John jr.
and Caroline.
, Caroline knelt beside her

'mained standing, straining
over a pew to get a better

' her sister. Princess Lee
R a d z i w i 11. When she
reached the coffin, Mrs.
Kennedy knelt and said a
Ijwef prayer, both her
hands on the coffin.
Robert Kennedy's broth-
*'„et. Edward, spent a night-
-long vigil alone by the cof-
*fin on Thursday.
* He returned again and
;alone Friday afternoon.
As he sat to pray in an
•^mpty pew, an elderly
man who apparently did
not recognize him tried to
get into the same pew. Ed-
ward moved his legs to
make room, but an usher
-stopped the unidentified
- man.
; After 10 minutes. Kenne-
1-dy left his seat to join the
-public line. His hands
,'elasped before him. his
“head slightly bowed, he

At almost 4 a m Satur-
v day, he returned once
X-more, this time with two
^ides. Edward joined the

briefly at the bier and then
walked out of the church.

er, twice visited the third

early, violent death.

at Lisbon, Portugal, by the
Canadian embassy in that
city. Hoover said.
The manhunt for Ray
spread throughout the
United States and several
other countries including
Canada, Mexico and Aus-
tralia.
Mexican authorities
questioned in late April a
U. S. citizen they said re-
sembled Ray. but released
him without pressing any
charges.
Daniel David Kennedy.
41. of Baltimore, Md.,
picked up for questioning
while on a walking tour of
Sonora state, denied any
connection with the slay-
ing. The FBI said later
there was no resemblance
between Kennedy and
Ray.
Australian police began
a nationwide search May 1
for Ray after, it said, the
FBI cabled that it had in-
formation indicating Ray
might have fled to Austra-
1 i a. Canadian Mounties
also were alerted.
Ray used a number of
aliases, three of which
were listed on the FBI
warrant — Erick Starve
Galt, John Willard and
Harvey Lowmyer. Other
names used included
James McBride, James
Walton. W. C. Herron and
James O’Connor.
A fellow inmate at the
Missouri Penitentiary.
Raymond Curtis, 40, said
Ray told him while both
were prisoners at Jeffer-
son City he would be will-
ing to kill King for $1 mil-
lion. Curtis now is in Whit-
field County jail at Dalton,
Ga.. awaiting action on ap-
peal from a murder con-
viction.

What do you tell
your child about
God?
Or, more important, what do you tell yourself
about God?
Nothing has greater bearing on your well-being,
and your child's.
The confidence you have in God’s love help*
your child feel God’s presence, it helps him gain
confidence in good. And it creates an atmospher*
of harmony, which is so important in any home.
The Bible, books, and periodicals in our Reading
Room can help you research and prose for yourself
the truth about God and man. And this can bless all
the members of vour family.
