the men who went down this morning rather
greater than on saturday but many are sti absent.
No complaints ofa nature TO produce the strike have

did not need It, aud ON his return to the cell en-
gagged III silent prayer with Mrs. Johnson
and Mrs. Riley for about twenty minutes.
The Sisters OF Mercy shortly afterwards
arrived and continued with hun until about eight

That force applied as IN this hanging is expected to

these bones are forced from their places their edges
