A captain blew his whistle and fired a rifle into the air. While protesters scrambled for cover, the police cut loose with automatic rifles, firing volley after volley into the crowd.

At graveside, confused relatives wondered what had happened to the band of mourners that had filled the church. The misled cortege was finally halted four miles out of town by a sympathetic policeman, who turned the cars...
