  1. Some years ago two men had a fight and one killed the other and buried him in a fence. Later on the murderer went to America and made a lot of money. He then returned, bought a farm, lived the life of a gentleman and followed the hounds.
    Once, when after the hounds, the fox carried the dogs and horses over the place where the body was buried. When the murderer over the spot where the body lay, a drop of blood sprung up and touched the murderer. When he saw this he acknowledged his guilt.
