The letters were innocent enough on the face of them, but prejudice and suspicion were deliberately manufactured out of the connection with Krishnavarma, the expression "revolutionary" the use of the word "boys," and an anticipation of the grarian outbreak in oon paction with the Panjab Government's ill-advised Land legislation. The bubble has been speedily pricked by the simple statement of iets in the Punjabee sad by Laipatrai's own evidence.
