on the 18th, taking the same line
as the other SPEAKERS ON that
side admitting the bomb throwing and
and murders but DENYING the moral respon-

and gasped, my God, we die and Neebe
men were returned to jail, Fielden had to
be supported, and even Neebe, as he
marched away, looked like q corpse. They
