On the year 1736
Ignacio
On May 5th died violently, beaten to death with war clubs and stones Ignacio “fiscal” (the official church secretary) of this town, husband of Luisa, the traitress who conspired with a wicked person to kill her husband. He was then hung in a tree after he was dead like if he had hanged himself. Being unaware of the treachery, his body was buried where it was found. When it was later discovered the truth, we brought the body for holy burial.
