the dead shall be summarily shot.
During the robbing OF the dead, not only
were fingers cut of, but ears were stripped
from the head in order to secure Jewels Of
value. The few government troops who
survived have been assisting in patrolling
the city. Private citizens have also en-
deayored to prevent the robbing Of the
dead and on several occasions have killed
the offenders. 1t is said that NJ one time
eight were killed and at aother time
four. singly and in twos and threes the
yultures were thus shot down until the
total OF those thus executed amounts TO
fully flfty.
When the troops get the situation under
control the robbing OF the dead will be
stopped and some more systematic method
