These had been marshulled in two parallel lines. In the centre stood the prisoner, his giant feet chained into four holes. A chain held his neck secure and each end of the chain was firmly attached to big elephants, which stood on eith- er side of him. The brigade major was judge. He and his staff were mounted on horses. The facts in the case were related after the major had announced to the elephant that he was on trial. No counsel was assigned to the prisoner. The prosecution had things all its own way and by sentence of forty-eight lashes with a chain was carried out immediately it had been passed. The corporal elephant was selected to put the judgment in execu- tion. He was provided with a heavy chain and, grasping it tightiy in his rt Unk, he applied the four dozen strokes so vigorously as to bring forth most agonizing groans from the prisoner.

That fact was clearly established. A number of witnesses bore testimony to the manner of the man's death. He had been a native soldier. He and his charge didn't seem to hit it off very well. There were frequent jars en- gendered by the elephant's indisposi- tion to yield readily to the demands and commands of the native. These occasional demonstrations of insubor- dination were invariably followed by the introduction of a sharp spike in- to the tenderest part of the elephant's anatomy. After that the situation was somewhat strained. and when this particular elephant met other ele- phants and stopped to pass the time of day, he complained in trumpet tones of the unreatsonalsltsmsss of men and of his keeper specifically.
