When the Evidence of (.boats Sufficed
to Hnnit Men.
The testimony of n ghost would not
now count for much In n court of law,
but the day lias been when It 1ms
sufficed to lump a man. There was a
ghostly accuser In n ease with which
the readers of Scott arc familiar. Soon
after the "45” an English soldier wan
dering near Brnemar met a violent
death. Years passed and then came a
story of a communication from another
world.
A farm servant declared that In the
night a spirit had appeared to him de
claring Itself to he the ghost of the
soldier, whose hones, It Is said, lay
still unhurled. The highlander must
see to their decent Interment and
have the murderers, two men named,
brought to justice. The highlander
promised, hut did not keep Ills word,
and a second anil third time the spirit
appeared and upbraided him for his
breach of faith. Alarmed at last and
no longer daring to delay, the man
called a companion and went to the
spot which the spirit had Indicated
and there found the hones of the mur
dered warrior concealed In n moorland
trnot called the hill of Christie.
The story of the highlander came to
the ears of an nntl-.Tacobltc. who caus
ed the matter to lie brought to trial
before the court of Judiciary, Edin
burgh. There the tale was corroborat
ed by a woman who had seen n naked
figure enter the place on the night I
spoken of by the man. It was an age
of superstition In a district more than I
commonly given to superstition, and 1
the Jury seemed disposed to find the I
two men charged guilty of the murder, j
but It happened flint the principal wit- I
ness spoke only Quelle. “Now.” said
the counsel for the defense, "in what j
language did the ghost speak?” "In
as good Quelle as 1 ever heard In Loch-
aber." was the reply. "Pretty good for ;
the ghost of an English soldier,” said
counsel, and that question and com- i
ment saved the necks of the inen at the
bnr. The Jury could believe In n ghost, i
but not In an English ghost speaking
