The details of the suicide show that Moral entered an inn at Torrejos, and the condition of his boots and his general travel-stained appearance suggested that he bad tramped the country.

The latter summoned a poliaeman, named Vego. ' Moral became alarmed, and his curiosity was aroused. He paid hi? bill and confronted Vego outside the inn. When his papers were demanded, Moral calmly replied: "I left Jthem at Madrid." He offered to telegraph for them. Vego's proposal to go to the mayor was accepted with alaority. When turning the first corner of a lonely road, Moral shot Vego dead. The sound of the shot was heard in the tavern. The peasants rushed in pursuit of Moral across the field.
