An officer who might have intervened leaves the room with the admonition: "Be careful, fellows." The victim is then tied to a double-deck bed, burned with a cigarette, given 18 lashes with a whip, hospitalized. The outraged medical officer demands that Thornton be expelled, threatens to resign and expose the school if he is not.
