"Do not kill him; bring him here; bring him here."
He must have said that five or six times immediately after, and they brought the man back and bent his head back on the back of the machine. The ex-President looked into his eyes for a second or two and the ex-President shook his head, and then turned away. I turned to the ex-President and I said:
"Colonel, he hit you."
He said:
"He never touched me; he never touched me."
I said:
"You have a hole in your coat," and the Colonel put his hand to his side and said:
"He picked me; he picked me."
This did not scare him. Then he addressed the crowd and said:
"We are going to the hall; we are going to the hall; start the machine; go ahead; go on."
