ornor Of the province. various judicial
authorities and a large crowd were
present. Nearly 200 feet the mason
went down, and when he was hauled
up he carried a CHASTITY burden-the
body of the poor friar. That he had
been murdered was made plain at the
inquest. His skull had been smashed
by some blunt instrument.
Olmo confessed after this. On some
pretext he had lured Bibiano to the
belfry Of the hermitage church and
while his back was turned had struck
him on the head with a crowbar.
Then he had thrown the body down
the shaft.
The intervention of armed gerdarmes
alone prevented Olmo from being
lynched on the spot. That he will be
executed is certain. Regarding his
fate, however, little concern is felt. The
question that profoundly interests all
Spain is whether the Gils were accom-
plices in his murder. 1t is pointed out
that the shepherd having got rid of the
friar had--if he acted alone-no motive
for getting him back to the hermitage.
On the other hand, as Bibiano was

property from them the Gils certainly
had motive for desiring his removal

Senor Antonio Gil y Laceta was a
parsonage much esteemed in Madrid.
He had the knack of making money
and the still rarer one of keeping what
he made. He accumulated a large
fortune in the banking business and
doubled it by successful commercial
ventures. He took an active interest

sion in Madrid and were living in
stlmptuous style. They refused to re-
ceiye the friar and liveried funky
slammed the door in his face.
FIGHTING AGAINST WEALTH.
Without means though he was and
compelled to live a hand-to-mouth ex-
istence on charity's doles, the friar's
unselfish purpose supplied him with a
stronger stimulus than most worldly
folk find in avarice alone. BY dint of
courage and persistency he oyercame
all the legal obstacles that wealth
could muster against him and succeed
ed in starting a lawsuit to get posses
sion of the property.
While awaiting the trial-and those
in possession were bent on making him
wait as long as possible-Bibiano re-
ceived from the Bishop of Siguenza the
appointment Of guardian of a hermit
age called La Cueva del Beato-the
Care of the Beatified-a short distance
from the little town of Cifuentes.
The hermitage had been built in the
twelfth century as retreat for pious
penitents, and attached to it was
small house. The cave contained some
ancient affairs and a very old reredos.
The country round about was wild and
rugged. Astounding in precipitous
gorges and deep chasms.
1t was in December last that. the
frfar took up his abode in the desolate
old place. The grounds included an
orchard from which. he might obtain
some sustenance In summer, but dur
ing the winter he was dependent en-
tireiy on the aims of visitors to the
shrine. frugal as were his habits,
these did not suffice to supply his
needs, and he had to make frequent
trips to the town to obtain food from
the charitable.
His kindness, gentleness and hun1il-
ity speedily made him great favorite
among its humble inhabitants, and he
would have eked out living and been
content with his lot but for the perse-
cution of a shepherd, Vincent Olmo.
who Some years before had established
himself and his family in the house
attached to the hermitage. Olmo was
a burly. brutal sort OF ruffian, OF the
type from which the Spanish banditti
obtain their allies and recruits.
DRIVEN FROM HERMITAGE.
Before the coming OF the friar he
had appropriated the gifts of visitors
to the shrine. That he might obtain
possession of them again. he set about
making life at the hermitage unendur-
able to Bibiano. He Knocked at his re-
ligion, abused an insulted him and
then took to assaulting him. Finally,
in the hope that the brute might have
some sparks of feeling in him that
would be susceptible to pity. the poor
friar told him the sad story of bis life
The San Francisco call., 1905-04-30

and what he aimed at accomplishing
to help others similarly unfortunate.
But Bibiano might as we'll have ap-
pealed to stone. Olno treated him
worse than before. At last the friars
limits of endurance were reached.
Black and blue from the bruises he
had received. he fed afoot to Madrid
in the depths of winter. Half-fam-
ished. he wandered for days about
the streets and at night slept under
carts and on doorsteps. In his misery
and dire need he even appealed for
help to those who were reveling in
luxuries on his fathers. money-the
money that had been promised him.
Again he was driven from their door.
WOLF AND LAMB.
Bibiano saw no way Of escaping ac-
tual starvation If he remained in
Madrid. So he wrote Olmo a letter,
telling the shepherd that he should
have half the aims left by visitors If
he would permit him (Bibiano) to re-
turn and live in peace at the hermit
a hypocritical reply, which was the
first step in dastardly plot he had
formed. In his letter the shepherd ex-
pressed penitence for his cruel treat
ment of the friar and imDlored him to
return, assuring him that he would
not be again molested. In the interim
Olmo had himself visited Madrid and
had called on the Oils. There are
many who attach sinister significance
to this fact and connect it with the
terrible crime that followed.
Z Bibiano returned to the hermitage
the day after he received Olmo's let
ter--on February 20 last. Next day
he disappeared. Olmo said that on the
night of the 21st a stranger had called
to see the friar and he had left the
hermitage with him. Suspicious of
foul play got about, which were
strengthened by the discovery that the
shepherd was selling his flock and
making preparations to leave. Search
ing parties began to scour the neigh
borhood. Bloodstains were discovered
on some stones near the hermitage.
Later it was noticed that from the
mouth of an abandoned well there
came an offensive odor Then Olmo,
who loudly protested his innocence.
was arrested.
MURDER DISCOVERED.
A mason was lowered down the shaft
at the end OF a rope. He descended
over 120 feet-the full length of the
rope-and still had not touched the
bottom. But lodged in the crevices of
the rock he found some fragments of
letters addressed to Bibiano A few
days later windlass was rugged up
over the mouth of the shaft and the
mason made another descent. The Gov
