remained until removed about an

But one shot was fired and il
struck Woosley on the inside of the
right groin and passed through his

the bullet passed through the flesh
of the leg without striking the bone.

certain sense responsible for the ac-
tions OF the District Magistrates, the

create a feeling that the executive
