Yesterday two more. According to the confused stories two of the new ones, which Ivančič dragged with him from Zagreb, have gone mad. After the whole group had been crouched in a sandwich inbetween the sun and heated rocks for two days, one of them simply stood up as a man, who came up with something important, and aimed a blast of shots at the first man near him - at the little Domačinovič, who he was on guard with - then he turned to another one and shot him in the palm, but the boy managed to roll behind some rock from where he, as they say, shot the first one precisely in the middle of the forehead. But then a third one stood up, grabbed a bomb but was, even before he could decide what to do with it, covered with rifle butts. It wasn't until sanitation that he came to himself."
