forced to look on while her husband and bis brother were being executed. The si range point about this case was tbnt the conviction of the murderess was secured mainly owing Jo the indiscretion of the parish priest. Almost Immediately after the murder the woman. to ease her conscience, went to confession and detailed her crime to the horrified priest. He was so overcome that, forgetting Ids oath and the Inviolable sanctity of the confessional, be that evening related what he had heard. The story reached the ears of the anIhoritles. and the culprits were iirrest*d. But for the priest’s Involuntary ketraynl of bl* sacred trust Impunity was assured to them, tor everybody had believed their story that tb£ old woman had fallen into the fire, as olt} women often do. The tears of the daughter hstd been so convincing.
