All day "Wednesday the wounded
man seemed to suffer great pain,
scarcely being able to speak above a
whisper. As night advanced he
seemed to grow worse. and the at
tendant saw that he was fast falling
and could not long survive, and 80
reported to the sister superior.
Yesterday morning Seybold called
for the Sister superior, stating that
he had something he wished 10

was going to die, and eNacted from
her promise that she would send
his effects back to his parents at

If he forgave the man who stabbed
him, Scybold said:

stabbed me. He had not the least
cause"
The man who stabbed Seybold
