ITCHY, based upon moral evidence. Ac-
companying this article are two fine en-
cravings from Mr.. Pages photographs

urements, the important ones (ten or

not yet made up but the probability is that 40 600 FL

less narrowing than those of the sunerings of tho

were soon completely covered with grass Entering a
house you would find men, women and children all ly-

still in agony, and others dying Some who were
strong enough attempted suicide and always un-

became more permanent four or FIVE were buried to-

service. In some cases the dead buried in the
earthern floors Of the houses in others Just outside the

is that some were buried alive. In many In
