Suicides and CrOssrOads.

It has been suggested that suicides
were buried 1T crossroads because it
was usual to erect Il cross ut such
places. Those who were excluded from
holy rites were buried there as the
place next in sanctity to consecrated
ground. 1t WAS an old superstition
that the devil-Ianced at crossroads
and that the erection Of cross thereat
would prevent such unsecmly prac-
tees. From this or some other super
stitiOn, such as the fear that his ghost
might walk the earth, arose the GUS
tom of driving Il stake through the sui
cide's body.
These plausible theories have gained
many advocates. but it is more likely
that burial ut crossroads waS intended
as a mark Of in;!iguity. The temples,
or rather affairs, Cs The heather leu
tons were mostly at the junction Of
crossroads. The place of execution
was there, and criminals were sacri-
feed to the gods; hence suicides were
buried at tie crossroads to give as
strong an impressica as possible of
heathen burial. Probably, too, the pub
licity Of such spot, which insured the
fact that a great number of people
would become directly aware of the
degrading consequences of the crime,
mad a good deal TO do with its selec-
T1iOn.
A curious fact in this connection is
TO be found in PlatOS Laws GlOOk iX,
chapter ~. The murderer of any Of
his near kin. after being put to death,
was cast Out of tie city. naked, in an
appointed place where three roads
