therefore, is about ~, 100000.

doctor hadn't the time TO inquiry fully

wounded him deserves the death he
will undoubtedly get If to blunder is
a crime, what must be the verdict in
the case of a soldier who half misses
such an opportunity as that? 1t seems
from further information that the man
never shot at the general at all. Very
well. Shall he be boiled in oil?
