I AZ this point MIR. Gray came forward

/ should read III the house from suppositious
! authority to the effect that before Andre
| was executed he had been tortured by
J General Washington, that his eyes had
! been burned from their sockets and that

( American ambassador to oal attention TO
the fact that the alleged history was un.

made"
Mr. Hale readily agreed that there could
he no improperly IN such course. II
/ had no doubt that Mir bayaid would scud

set action ON measures pcnding in the
