The strikers gradually drifted from the jail, being bailed out or released, and I was not sorry to see them go. Poor food, vermin of many varieties and the 140 FROM ALIEN TO CITIZEN various small tortures endured, were all as nothing to me compared with the fact that for more than six weeks I was permitted to be in that jail without a hearing; without even the slightest knowledge on my part as to why I had forfeited my liberty. From the barred jail window I could see work- men going unhindered ...to their tasks; on Sunday pastor and people passed, as they went to worship their Lord who, too, was once a prisoner. None, seemingly, gave us a thought or even responded by a smile to the hunger for sympathy which I know my face must have expressed. My letters to the Austro-Hungarian Consul re- mained unanswered, and the jailer gave my re- peated questionings only oaths for reply. The day of my hearing finally came, and I was dragged before the judge. The proceedings were shockingly disorderly, irreverent and unjust.
