When 1 the physical lashing was over the t leaders indulged in tongue lashing, * the burden of which was that Mitch- 1 ell would better never to do it again. 1 Mitchell made a scene at the funeral, and as public sentiment is against him it is considered improbable that the authorities will take ( action in the matter. i Well?
