Only one sergeant ran to a machine-gun and began to set itgoing; but a tall young man, an officer too, ran out of the ranks anddragged him back by the collar; and the soldiers stood there motionlesswhile the horror-stricken crowd, nearly wholly unarmed (for most of thearmed men had fallen in that first discharge), drifted out of the Square. I was told afterwards that the soldiers on the west side had fired also, and done their part of the slaughter. How I got out of the Square Iscarcely know: I... went, not feeling the ground under me, what with rageand terror and despair. ' "So says our eye-witness. The number of the slain on the side of thepeople in that shooting during a minute was prodigious; but it was noteasy to come at the truth about it; it was probably between one and twothousand. Of the soldiers, six were killed outright, and a dozenwounded. " I listened, trembling with excitement. The old man's eyes glittered andhis face flushed as he spoke, and told the tale of what I had oftenthought might happen.
