Mariana was somewhat sceptical, for
he had been told by real physicians
that they could not help him. How

$40 gold piece in handkerchief and if
the gold piece was broken she would
cure him. He did so and when he un
wrapped the handkerchief the coin was
broken in two. Still he was not al

pitch of excitement and passion, that
he had attempted to kill him and had
actually wounded him and then shot
the Japanese.
