TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  I have got full information, because when he left here - because when he came and he stayed with me publicly he used to - he was oozing blood on his left ear.  He always had cottonwool in his ears and I asked him what was happening with this oozing ear.  He used to say he'd been beaten up by the boers.  That's the only thing he ever said to me.  He never said anything to me that during that time he was arrested he was injured by the boers.
