Give me the facts, Mr. Selwood!" Selwood stared at the ardent collector of news; then he motioned him to follow, and led him into the hall to where Barthorpe Herapath was standing with the police-inspector. "This is a newspaper man," he said laconically, looking at Barthorpe. "Mr. Triffitt, of the Argus. He wants the facts of this affair." Barthorpe turned and looked the new-comer up and down.
Norendranath Gosain, who had turned approver in this last case, was shot dead in Alipur Gaol, and a Hindu police-inspector in the streets of Calcutta. Four attempts made upon the life of the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, Sir Andrew Fraser, showed how little effect leniency had upon the growing fierceness of the revolutionists.
