[A
handwritten
leaflet
explaining
the
reasons
for
Saunders'
murder,
written

on

pasted
at

placs
on

walls

night
between
the
18th
and
19th.

HINDUSTAN

ARMY
NOTICE
J.P.
Sunders
is
dead;
Lala
Lajpat
Rai
is
avenged
Really
it is
horrible
to
imagine
that
so
lowly
and
violent
hand
violent
hand
of an
ordinary
Police
Offical,
J.P.
Saunders
could
ever
dare
to
touch
in
such
an
insulting
way
the
body
of
one
so
old,
so
revered
and
so
loved
by
300
millions
of
people
of
Hindustan
and
thus
cause
his
death.
The
youth
and
manhood
of
India
was
challenged
by
blows
hurled
down
on
the
head
of
the
India's
nationhood.
And
let
the
world
know
that
India
still
lives;
that
the
blood
of
youths
has
not
been
totally
cooled
down
and
that
they
can
still
risk
their
lives,
if
the
honour
of
their
nation
is at
stake.
And
it is
proved
through
this
act
by
those
obscure
who
are
ever
persecuted,
condemned
and
denounced
even
by
their
own
people.
Beware,
Ye
Tyrants
;
Beware
Do
not
injure
the
felling
of a
downtrodden
and
oppressed
country.
Think
twice
before
perpetrating
such
diabolical
deed,
And
remember
that
despite
'Arms
Act'
and
strict
guards
against
the
smuggling
of
arms,
the
revolvers
will
ever
continue
to
flow
in-if
no
sufficient
at
present
for
and
armed
revolt,
then
at
least
sufficient
to
avenge
the
national
insults.
Inspite
of
all
the
denunciations
and
condemnation
0f
their
own
kiths
and
kins,
and
ruthless
repression
and
persecution
of
the
alien
government,
party
of
young
men
will
ever
live
to
teach
a
lesson
to
the
haughty
rulers.
They
will
be so
bold
as to
cry
even
amidst
the
raging
storm
of
opposition
and
repression,
even
on
the
scaffold:
"LONG
LIVE
THE
REVOLUTION"
!
Sorry
for
the
death
of a
man.
But
in
this
man
has
died
the
representative
of an
institution
which
is so
cruel,
lowly
and
so
base
that
it
must
be
abolished.
In
this
man
has
died
an
agent
of
the
British
authority
in
India-the
most
tyrannical
of
Govt.
of
Govts.
In
the
world.
Sorry
for
the
bloodshed
of a
human
being;
but
the
sacrifice
of
individuals
at
the
altar
of
the
Revolution
that
will
bring
freedom
to
all
and
make
the
exploitation
of
man
by
main
impossible,
is
inevitable.
Long
Live
The
Revolution"
