 32    2,    3|       diamonds—in a word, that Joam Dacosta was innocent.~But, notwithstanding
 33    2,    3|     presumption? If it was not Joam Dacosta, who had every facility
 34    2,    3|            agreed in distinguishing Dacosta as the true and only author
 35    2,    3|             all the questions. Joam Dacosta, convicted of aggravated

 39    2,    3|          was a serious matter! Joam Dacosta ought to have confessed
 40    2,    3|            of the existence of Joam Dacosta, with the name under which
 41    2,    3|          the convict appealed. Joam Dacosta gave himself over to him

 44    2,    3|           to the real culprit.~Joam Dacosta had accordingly been prudent.
 45    2,    3|           was not guilty. Yes! Joam Dacosta, in spite of his condemnation,
 46    2,    3|           case being pressing, Joam Dacosta wrote to Judge Ribeiro:~“

 51    2,    4|            THE WARRANT against Joam Dacosta, alias Joam Garral, had
 52    2,    4|             seen also how much Joam Dacosta had lost by the death of

 55    2,    4| acknowledged.~On the morrow of Joam Dacosta’s arrest, Judge Jarriquez
 56    2,    4|           The room occupied by Joam Dacosta was nothing like one of
 57    2,    4|            this apartment that Joam Dacosta, on this 25th of August,

 60    2,    4|            seemed to show that Joam Dacosta had made up his mind to
 61    2,    4|      confess then that you are Joam Dacosta?”~“I am Joam Dacosta.”~All
 62    2,    4|           Joam Dacosta?”~“I am Joam Dacosta.”~All this was said with
 63    2,    4|          tattoo on the table.~“Joam Dacosta,” he asked, “what were you
 64    2,    4|             to that, sir,” answered Dacosta, “I invented a pretext,
 65    2,    4|          real motive,” replied Joam Dacosta, in a firm voice, “was the
 66    2,    4|             a sign with his head to Dacosta, which signified as clearly
 67    2,    4|           it in your own way.”~Joam Dacosta, who did not disregard the
 68    2,    4|       hundredth time; and when Joam Dacosta laid on the table the memoir

 73    2,    4|      Perhaps I have,” answered Joam Dacosta.~At these words, Judge Jarriquez

 76    2,    5|          You are not mistaken, Joam Dacosta, but I ought to tell you

 81    2,    5|             The document which Joam Dacosta appealed to was not produced;
 82    2,    5|            curiosity, to drive Joam Dacosta behind his last entrenchments.~“

 93    2,    6|           Yaquita Garral or Yaquita Dacosta, he would still find her
 94    2,    6|         Benito Garral?”~“No, Benito Dacosta!” answered the young man.~“
 95    2,    6|       continued Torres. “Mr. Benito Dacosta, accompanied by Mr. Manoel
 96    2,    6|             how you recognized Joam Dacosta in the fazenda of Iquitos?”~“
 97    2,    6|              returned Torres; “Joam Dacosta declined my propositions!

103    2,    7|     otherwise? Ah! why had not Joam Dacosta told him all before he left
104    2,    7|          that from the lips of Joam Dacosta himself. They knew that
105    2,    7|            saved by a miracle, Joam Dacosta might now be considered
106    2,    7|           unexpected arrest of Joam Dacosta had revived the memory of

108    2,    7|       excited by the arrest of Joam Dacosta, and who could say to what
