Chapter number six. They shot the six cabinet ministers at half past six in
0:07
the morning against the wall of a hospital. There were pools of water in
0:11
the courtyard. There were wet dead leaves on the paving of the courtyard reined
0:17
hard. All the shutters of the hospital were nailed shut. One of the
0:22
ministers was sick with typhoid. Two soldiers carried him downstairs and out into the
0:27
rain. He tried to hold him up against the wall, but he sat
0:30
down in a huddle of water. The other five stood very quietly against the
0:35
wall. Finally, the officer told the soldiers it was no good trying to
0:39
make him stand up. When they fired the first folly, he was sitting
0:43
down in the water with his head on his knees. End of chapter number six.
