Ia England the first pipes used appear to

FOLKLORE or CRIME.


ehns&ly Chaxas aAA weird Omeas In the
Mystic Code Of crimina;s-
The mystic code which regulates the lives
cf these enemies Of society is in ma ISIS
4 survival Of fesichism of the oldes~ ind.
believing consciously in the dread eiftesscy
of certain ghSstly charms and incantatioas,
the malefactor boldly enters on his eutei-
prise. occasionally carrying with him u
dead mans hand''-taken from one who
had died violent death. Such a charm
being supposed to overpower with sleep
,hos.e who come under its influence. 1t is
naturally an invaluable adjunct TO the I'M
plsrnents employed by thieves.
Some years ago an attempted ROBBERY
WAS made by burglars on an estate IN Ire
land and, to quote contemporary &C
count of the affair, they entered the house
armed with dead mans hand, with a
lighted candle in it, believing that candle
10 placed will not be seen by any but those
by whom ii is used, and also that il candle
in a dead man hand be introduced into
house it will prevent those who may be
asleep from awakening. The inmates. how
ever, were alarmed. The robbers fled. leav-
ing the dead hand behind them"
Many similar stories are told of the use
of he dead hand by thieves, one communi-
Gated by the Rev. s Baring-Gould being
worthy of notice. Two men, having come
| TO lodge in public house with view to
rohbing it. asked permission to pass the
night by the fire and obtained IT. When
| the house was quiet, the servant girl, sus-
pectng mischief, crept down stairs and

the men open Il sack and take out a dried,
| withercd hand. They anointed the fingers

| Each finger ilamed except the thumb,
which indicated that one Of the household

Then there is the corpse candle. weird

seems to have been more general in Ger
many than any other country. Not so long
