after, the Constitutionalist died, and
the brother returned to the Curate to

ring his body, for during the night the
devils will come and carry it away, and
in forty days you, yourself, will meet
with the same fate.” The Spapiard,
not giving implicit credit to this dia- |
bolical visit, watched during the night
by the body of bis brother, with his
pistols loaded. Between 12 and 1
o'clock a knock was heard at the door,
and a voice exclaimed—¢ 1 command

God ; open, if not, your instant ruin is

by a window three able bodied devils,

land spiked tails, who set about carry-
tng the coffin containing the body.—
Upon this the Spaniard fired, and
shot one devil dead, the others took

morning when the people went to

devils, that one was the Curate, and
the other the Vicar, the wounded dev-
il was the Sacristan who confessed the
whole diabolical proceeding, This
singular case is now before the Crim-
