CFFICER IS EXOMEPATED OF FATAL SHOOTING CDé The Casper Daily Tritume (55) ! London Populace Packs Borough of West- minster for Sight of Duke of York and Bride, Married in ‘Abbey LONDON, April 26.—(By The Associated Press.) —Al- bert, Duke of York, was united in marriage with Lady Eliza- beth Bowes-Lyon in solemn old Westminster Abbey at noon | today with a pomp and panoply reminiscent of the days of the Mid-Victorian era and amid the demonstrations of the | vast throng that gatherc under threatening skies to witness the wedding pageant. As the cortege entered the abbey 1 slight drizzle of rain fell but soon afterward the sun broke through the clouds and as the royal pair made their exit they were greeted with brilliant sunshine, recalling the old saying “happy is the bride the sun shines on.” It was tho second time in a little more than a year that the king and queen of England gave one of their children in wedlock to a person ot side the realm of royalty. While the marriage of the sovereigns’ second son did not stir the popular tmagina- tion of the British empire as did Princess Mary's wedding, the ro- mance which turned a simple Scottish girl into a royal prince's bride and elevated her from a position of rela: tive obscurity to the place of fourth lady of the land captures the hearts of the English people. The fact that Lady Elizabeth's marriage to the Duke of York makes her eligible to wear the crown of the empire in the event anything untoward befalis the Prince of Wales/ imparted an addi- tional note of interest and signiti cance to the event. Today's ceremony within the hal lowed walls of the historic abbey, which has witnessed the supreme joys and sorrows of the nation for ages past, was both a great religious and social event, and was marked by a glittering exhibition of fashion and sumptuous jewels.
