and a neat bit of trepanning done, but poor Poup was never able to speak from that time until his death, which occurred Wednesday. His right side was paralyzed, and he seemed to suffer terriby. Quin Sing’s wounds were dressed, and he is now on a sure road to re- covery. On Monday four of the Mexicans arrested were taken before Quin Sing, who immediately recognized one of them as the man who as- saulted him, but did not recognize either of the other three. They were turned loose, and dur- ( 28 ) ing the day and that night five others were arrested. They were taken before Quin on Tuesday. He thought that one of them re- sembled one of the other two, but was not sure. He did not notice the two who assaulted his partner, particularly, but thinks that he will know them. The robbers and murderers secured $2 from Quin and probably $30 or $40 from his partner, which was in a trunk. Quin says that it is possible that his partner had removed the money, but don’t know, and as Deah Poup was not able to speak, it is hard to tell just how much money was received for this terrible crime. The kind-hearted Sisters did everything in their power for the poor sufferers.
