Some Mexican Superstitions

tits believed that the murderer who
has slain his victim with sword or
dagger will escape If the body falls
upon its side or back but II the body
falls face downward then the murder
or surely soon will be captured and
put to death. This belief is said to be
so firmly rooted among the people
of northeastern Mexico, that when a
murdered man falls upon his face his
slayer makes no effort to escape, and
even sometimes voluntarily surren-
ders himself to justice.
