McKame's defiance of Haw and order Ibacame bo flag runt it hat not even the zealous 'and versatile swearing of his- admiring henchmen uns sufficient to save him from a prison ceW. He was tried, -found guilty and Sentenced to -five years in the State prison of New York. (His term is now about out, and it is this fact that ha* revealed the peculiarities of the Groye fcend code of morality. In spite of the fact that McKane is a felon who rfon? ly deserved every minute of the term he secured for hi.s infamous trafflcing in voltes, the people of the little village In whUdh he conumStted his crimes de? sired to make the occasion of his !tl> eratt?on one of great rejoicing. It was decided to send an immense dol.-gat.ion to meet the ex-convict and escort him into the viil.-rg.. like a conquering hero.
