text_A: The barbarous custom of whipping men suspected of having important secrets to reveal must be sustained. It has always been recognized that this method of interrogation, by putting men to the torture, is effective. The wretches say whatever comes into their heads and whatever they think one wants to believe. Consequently, the Commander-in-Chief forbids the use of a method which is contrary to reason and humanity.
