LAW HOLDS KING EDWARD'S
STRANGE ASSAILANT
George Andrew McMahon is charged with being in posses- beession of a loaded revolver with intent to endanger life and property. He was arrested during King Edward's recent inspection of the Guards regiments, when His Majesty was riding at the hood of the procession. McMahon pushed through the crowd and watchers perceived that he had a revolver in his hand. It was taken from him before he could use it. He said, afterwards, that he intended to kill himself.
