 "Friar Moises Santos, the parish priest, was at last able to sleep in peace, after General Blanco had taken from him the residents who were sowing the bad seed, and sent them into exile on faraway islands; but one day, as he was going on foot to the railroad station in order to take the train to Manila, and was ascending a bridge near the station, three natives approach him respectfully. Supposing they came to kiss his hand, he gravely held it out to them. Then one of the natives caught it and, violently drawing the priest towards him, struck him with his right hand a terrible blow with a dagger in the breast.
-"In an instant, the three men had disappeared, and in the middle of the road, bathed in blood, there lay the body of the last friar parish priest of Malolos, dying unaided, in those last days of the Spanish rule, shortly before the declaration of war by the United States and the destruction of Montojo's fleet at Cavite."
