". . . His arm that was shot at Coffeyville is giving him a great deal of trouble again, and needs another operation . . .

Imagine the torture he has endured with this arm. I know his worst enemy would not wish him to lose his right arm, maybe his life. He is not one to complain and has taken his punishment like a man, but the time has come, it seems to me to be merciful . . ."
