fled tho world, conscious, In view Of
the evidences, direct and indirect. Of

tually instructing the governor to
fail in his higher duty; likewise the
reported order to prevent the jews
from carrying weapons, to thousands
a decree OF banishment. The press
OF western Europe and OF America
has expressed almost unanimous dis
approval OF these methods. while
