Third Scene. On the evening of March 31 last, at a time when Father Moisés, confident and defenseless, headed towards the Barasoain railway station to bid farewell to other priests who were trying to see him off, as he had been appointed to a position in Manila, three heartless individuals encountered him in a wooded area of the road and inflicted eight tremendous stab wounds on him. He succumbed to his injuries an hour later. As for the assassins, they remain a mystery until now. What is not a mystery to anyone is that when immediately sought in Malolos and Barasoain, Torres and the deportees, it happened that none of them were found in the town.</small> | Third Scene.
