were  removed, from  the  nipples.  In  the  meantime,
General  Hearsey  arrived,  and  asked  if  the  guard  was
loaded ;  he  was  told  that  they  were,  but  the  caps  were
not  on.  He  then  ordered  them  to  be  put  on,  and  the
guard  to  march,  first  at  the*  quick,  then  at  the  double.
Mungul  Pandy  then  shot  himself,  having  first  idmed
towards  the  guard.
