With half.stided murmor the crowd rushed
towards the PROSTATE forms, and AS the rain

Adsms clothes and face were bloody, and
when they were placed upon the fatal trap

from his srm upon the person OF Delise. They
offered no resistance, and said nothing. They
were half dead with fear and the effects Of their
fall, and the sentence of the law was speedily
executed upon them. Delise did not struggle
but Adam did, although he was the first OF the
two who died The bodies were cut down in
ten minutes, ard submitted to Professor Kiddel
