An OLD SUPERSTITION RETIrED.
TWO RUSSIANS TRIED FOR MURDER IN KANSAS
BY TOUCHING WOUNDS OF THE DEAD MAN
From The kansas Citv Iournal.

From The Kansas City Journal
A few days ago the body OF Balzer Getz, one
a field far from his house. He had been
shot by unknown assassin for the sake of $50
which he carried his person. Naturally there
a great deal OF excitement in the neghbor-
hood, and rumors of all sorts became current
Finally the talk fastened suspicion upon two OF the
dead mans neighbors. both Russians and at the
instance of the Coroner they arrested Know
ing that many OF the Russians held the ancient
superstition that murdered mans wounds would
bleed afresh II his body should be touched by his
murderer, the Coroner determined TO apply this
test With great soemnty the two accused
ushered into the presence OF the corpse the
wounds were barred so all might see, and the men
in were required 10 place their hands upon
the body and hold them there while they were
sworn 20 tell the truth. The men unhnchirgly
performed the part that was expected Of them, the
wounds refused 70 bleed. and in the minds OF the
Russian bystanders the accused were cleared OF
guilt
The test had one good result as foolish as II may
appear II caused the neighbors 10 look elsewhere
for the murderer, and he soon discovered in the
OF the sixteen year-old OF the murdered
man The boy had laid for his father and shot him
down and then ridden away to nearby village,
where he passed the everlng with his sweetheart.
He tried to get this g.l 10 prove aHhi for
him by swearing that he was with her at certain
hour but she would not do H. and then the boy
confessed. He said he had not killed his father
for the money, but in revenge for cruel treatment
However, the money was found upon the boys
