Long seconds dragged on but no one stepped out of the crowd.


A policeman checked the crowd and finally yelled, "A PRIEST, PLEASE! Isn't there a priest in this crowd to give this man his last rites?"

The policeman agreed, and cleared the crowd so the man could get through to where the injured man lay.


The old Jewish man knelt down, leaned over the man and said in a solemn voice:





B-4 ..... I-19 ... N-38 ... G-54 .... O-72
