She screamed as she went to her death, and in my fright I echoed the scream. I re- member the man rushing across the room at me, of his dashing open the door, of his striking me down, and then. came darkness which 'aided for weeks. He struck pae with a piece of iron and fractured mk skull. He then carried my bedy down stairs and bore it a quarter of a mile away and flung it • into another (excavation.
