Hi Jerry There's a nasty scene at the beginning of A Double-Barrelled Detective. Husband ties young wife to tree, gags her, whips her, then gets his dogs to tear her clothes off!

Of course I will include "1601," Speech to the Stomach Club of Paris and a few indelicate references from "Letters from the Earth." Anyone have any other ideas of material I might include? Appreciate your help. > > Jerry Vorpahl > Sacramento > "City of Saloons," MT
