hcyen ben mostly married TO their husbands
by the chaplin Nv a regiment witch wuz
stasheued here doorin the war, refused to re

serious Most men would have yielded tC

1t wuz a solemn and impressive scene
The Kernel bed the Ethiopians wife present
doorin the intliction Nv the punishment, and
to show her that he did not perceed with
out authority. he read to her from Scripter
the chapters commencing ''servance obey

the perverse creecher didn't. She ran away
and complained to the officer at the peer-
