but confessed that he was not very doughty
warrior, for az soon a. one OF the bullets
wh,tssd through his ulster he wadded AWAY
~ fast AZ he could. To those who have at
tended this inquest II has seemed marvellous
that Ia the rain Of bullets on the eventiul day
not one penetrated the fat and good natured
Pace IL 10 true that one Of the bullets went
through his oVercoat In this matter he was
particularly fortunate Robert Ross. the He
publican who was killed. was more than sit
feet tall. He was slim. His brother. William
has the bullet in his neck. 10 a short man.
John Mcoough. who was shot In the back, 10
as thin as an eel. Bat shea. who received
q bullet In the top OF his head. Is short and
chunky. II will thus be seen that targets like
ChfistAn Face are very often much more Tor
tunate than the smaller men.
