An even great- number failed to gain entrance. The body lay for five hours and a cordon of police moved the crowd as fast as possible. But there wasn't enough time. In the afternoon, while fewer than 300 Invited guests went to the prl vate services at the Wee Kirk o' the Heather, 10.000 gathered at the Hol lywood bowl, and an unnumbered host assembled in the movie studios, and the Community Presbyterian church, In Beverly Hllla. Mountain nf Flowers At the chapei a mountain of flow ers was massed, the wreaths, figures, bouquets, and funeral pieces coming from all over the country. The entire lawn, outside, stretching down the whole side of the hill, was blanketed with them. More typical of Rogers were the songs sung In his memory. At the private services, John Boles, film actor, sang the cow boy -philosopher's favorite, "Old Faithful''; at one studio. James Melton, radio star, sang "Home on the Range"; at another, Joe Morrison, actor singer, "The Last Roundup." and at still another, Nino Martini, celerated opera singer, "Ag nus Del." Bolea' voice, strong at first, wa vered twice aa he sang behind the screen of flowers at the chapel. Pastor Affected The Rev. J. Whltcomb Broughter, former pastor of Tremont Temple Baptist church, Boston, and Temple Baptist, Los Angeles, seemed deeply affected as he led the service at the Wee Kirk of the Heather, describing Rogers, aa he had known him. "He haa been the one figure in the life of our nation who haa drawn to himself the admiration and the love of all classes of people," Dr. Brouglier said. The clergyman then read Will Rog era' own introduction to a book, writ ten by the cow boy -artist, Charley Russell. Russell, Dr. Brougher said, had dtea before It was finished, and I Rogers wrote the Introduction In the form of a personal letter to his friend i In the next world. ' 'I guess Ood needed a good man In a hurry," " Dr. Brougher read. Then his vloce broke, and tears welled Into his eyes. His audience represented a wide croes-sectlnn of American Itfe.

This was followed by the assertion that he killed Johnson six weeks sgo because the older prospector ac cused him of slaughtering a steer.
