day or so? In other words
separate the killers from their
holy pals.
The problem, however, is
not so easily solved II is an
old Indian custom not TO touch
the sacred fish with human
hands. Not even the Maha-
rajah would think of break
ing this tradition. So the
attendant at the pool has not
done any fishing for fear that
he might\desecrate one Of his

thing might happen if nets
