You will be taken, very likely, and tor- tured until you will corroborate what they have said. Now you have my permission to say anything against me ; you will not hesitate to save yourselves by admitting everything true or false which you may find Lopez is determined you shall admit. You may accuse me, if you can save your lives by it, of any crime you can imagine ; you may charge me with sorcery, or stealing sheep, or anything else. Nobody will believe it in Paraguay, and certainly nobody wil...l believe it outside of Paraguay. It can do me no harm ; and if your declarations should ever be published, they will only prove to the world what an infamous wretch Lopez is, for everybody will know that any declarations of that kind must have been extorted by torture or the fear of torture.
