there is large picture descriptive OF the
restoration 70 life of Re'ehmuth Adolch,
the wife Of counsellor OF that city, under
circumstances which have been borrowed
for materials TO construct many fictitious
stories Of a similar kind. This lady was
supposed to have died Of the plague, which
devastated Cologne in 1911; but being
buried with valuable ting on her finger,
