slightly more credit to himself than the
actual facts of the case entitle hint to.

on himself, and that driving and kid-

where the laugth comes in. What a 110

pitiable figure he presented in the:

for a moment the results of his heroic

the murder of Heslopeatreasurer of

that prisoners were elsewhere on the

some tall swearing was done.
