...sick, emaciated U.S. P.W.s. Gallagher, said one of the witnesses, thought the two inmates were "smelling up the room," so he threw them outside into the 40-below cold "like a bartender bouncing a drunk."

"No, sir,'' came hesitant replies, "I was afraid to get thrown out myself ... I couldn't help myself ... I didn't want to freeze to death." Next day, outside...

Listed on the bill are a Reverend Edgar Speven, a Gwendolyn (His Daughter) and a Catchpole. There is also a noblewoman with an awesome surname and a placid given one, The Marchioness of Heronden (Serena).
