they reached the roof, and were caught
and killed In the labyrinth of halls and
passages leading from the servants quar-

Several of those died after their ar
rival. OF the others some are in dying
condition, Others ara crippled for life,
some are slowly recovering from injuries
that will allow their removal In a
comparatively short time and some have
already been discharged.

injured. Some of them are only slightly
hurt and were able TO go to their homes.
