    And now my friend pray let us hear how you would have prevented the fatal event , as you call it , mentioned in my last As to the murderer , you gravely tell us he must have had some sins . Why the devil ' s in him if he had

    not , when he drew a knife as long as my arm and stabbed a fellow beggar to the heart . IPfae other rogue had no time to defend himself , or perhaps
