Then Church's arms were strapped
to his sides: his legs also were
strapped, and seated In the chair, he
was carried 10 the trap through which
he would fan 10 his death.

the tariff before the American public.

IL all has ended happily, vut one re-

Possibly the fact that it couldn't be
held in Central Park. where the Authors
