During his three terms as Governor he turned on his old cronies, the buccaneers, with a fierce, forgetful hand. Once he wined and dined 17 of them, led them on to talk dangerously of what they had done, had them arrested as they left, hanged them all next day. Said he: "I abhor bloodshed, and I am greatly dissatisfied that...
