Grant, I can understand that.  What I can't understand, is that
some of the folks who were around then, and witnessed it, and then
went back for more, it does not make sense to me.  One I could
think about off hand, and I guess you new him, was Jack James.  He
witnessed it, and now I don't think that he is in there any more.
I just can't figure out how he witnessed that, and later went back
for more.  He was at the convention, when the big purge took place
too.
