victim of a painful experience one

Five citizens of the community are

over a woman, who appears to have
attracted both Regan and his assaii'

the house OF the woman, and the other
five men went to the house with the
determination of giving Regan an ex-
perience that would cause him 10

are not dangerous they are very pain
