The defendant's çxecutors admit discounting the note snd endorsing it, but dlaim that they did nou1 "without recourse," which means without assuming any respossibllity.

The other six pnisoners, one of tisem a woman, are there because they are poor, the, municipalities lu whicis îhey live refusing ta, sup- port them. Two of tise men are iunatics.
