was one-quarter as well fed as yourself IL we knew
thar you attended to your duties and gave him
such medical attention as his case may require:
death, you and others ''coaked with little brief
au hority" over him do not forget that he Is

ing starved to death and how long it will take to
secure the desired result whether he has been
vaccinated with mucage not: how far the rec

have been consulted and improved upon, TO add
to his misery by those who oppose the commuta-
tion Of his sentence and who have tried to murder
him ever since he has been in San Quentin: as we

we have the right 10 expect, a definite answer to
our question: "What il John McNulty's physical

query was that Of one who shows his position to
be not that Of MASTER but Of a weakened
