\ German known as Dutch Charlie,
was recently murdered in Colorado County
Texas. As the body was surrounded by
people, an Irishman proposed that those
present should successfully place their
hands upon the body of the deceased, be
lieying according to an ancient supposi-
ton used by Sir Walter Scott in st. Val
cntine's Day, that whenever the murder
er touched it the wounds would commence
bleeding anew. The suggestion was act
ed upon, and, says a correspondent Of tho
Richmond (Texas) Inquirer, as soon as
man named Iildebraut applied Lis hand
the blood began to flow, Hildebrant was
arrested, and shortly afterwards commit
ted suicide.
