      Al·legaran els uns que allò fou una explosió justiciera de l'ira del poble, oprimit i vexat; qualificaran els altres de criminosos els fets del dia tràgic; però coincidiran els uns i els altres en l'afirmació que hi hagué aquell dia una gran degolla.
      Some will allege that was a righteous explosion of the wrath of the people, oppressed and vexed; others will qualify the deeds of the tragic day as criminal; but both sides will agree that on that day there was a great massacre.
