dictate and will manage the provincial and inter-provincial mat-
ters.
Though I do not know the way the U. P. men will receive me
after such a great silence of more than a year.
4. Try to remove their grievance in all respects.
5. To frame a definite programme to give a great blow to
the Government within five years; though it is certain that revo-
lution will not be successful within so little time.
6. To find out ways to collect funds and arms.
10 As in other cases the letter found appears to have been a
draft and Bakshi has utilized the spare paper to put into writing his
current thoughts and plans. The Examiner of Questioned Docu-
ments has given reasons for believing that all these writings from
which I have quoted were written by Bakshi.
After he had been personally searched Bakhshi was taken to
the Gandhi Ashram at Bhagalpur where he was staying. He
pointed out the room himself and it was opened with one of the
keys found on him. Amongst other things found in the room was
a locked basket which contained four loaded 12 bore cartridges
20 (Exhibit P. B. 18). Various papers were also found purporting
to belong to one Benoy Kumar Ghosh in whose name Bakshi now
admits that he had been passing, and there were some letters
addressed to one Mohit Chandra Adhikari, who had been sharing
the room with Bakshi, but they are of no particular importance.
The discovery of two maps (of Bengal and Bihar and Orissa
vide Exhibit P. B. 16) is possibly significant when considered in
the light of the Twelve Points (Exhibit P. 162) and the discovery
of three sketch maps at the Dakhshineswar House where R. N.
Lahiri was arrested (vide Exhibit P. 213). Several of the letters O. P. 86.
30 found in his possession e. g. Exhibit P. B. 5 (A) P. B. 6, P. B.
9 (A) and P. B. 10 suggest that Bakhshi was carrying on corres-
pondence with other conspirators while he was absconding. These
are all written in guarded language and convey little definite
information. Exhibit P. B. 6 mentions that 'my letters are inter-
cepted and apprehending that yours too are intercepted. I was
waiting for a chance, the bearer of the letter is our friend'. The
letter is signed 'Atul Gobinda Deb' and the writer is told to reply
to 'Amarendra Nath Chakravarty.'
40 64 The association of Bakshi with Jogesh Chandar Chatter-
ji at Benares is suggested but not definitely
Association of Bakshi proved by the evidence of certain Bengalis
with Jogesh Chandar who lived there. Jatindra Narayan Santra
Chatterji. (P. W. 68) states that Bakshi hired a room
from a relation of his in No. 164, Ganesh
Mahal, at the beginning of the rainy season nearly four years ago
