Some twenty years ago a lecherous
priest, stationed at the Indian village
Of Isleta, was murdered by the hus-
bands of the wives he had outraged at
or near Los Lunas, and the body Ia
ken to Isleta, where 1t was buried in
the graveyard surrounding the old |
adobe church. Occasionally since
that event, it is stated by both Mexi
cans and Indians, that the murdered
priest has appeared in the church, and
some say goes through with the SER
vices so familiar to him in life. The
other evening the priest was plainly
observed by few deyout members of
his congregation in former years, 50 it
is stated, and a majority Of the vii
layers are impressed with the belief
that the murdered priest will sooner
or later appear again upon the earth.

lasted until Saturday, when it was
given the jury, which returned that
night verdict Of guilty of murder in
the first degree. If the court had de-
cided to hang him on Friday, the oath,
our neighbors would have the double
assurance that the era Of promiscuous
killing was at an end. Justice like
the above makes mob law unpopular.
