Here is where
they held the inquisitions. The idea was to "inquisite" rich men,
the richer the better, and the more the "take" would be. They
never let facts or the truth interfere in the least. Not in the
slightest degree. And so they fabricated charges out of thin air
and without element of truth whatsoever, against any man,
provided he was rich. . . Cut off his head, confiscate his lands,
sell off the Herefords and the old mule team, take their 10
percent "cut" and send the balance to Spain. They never fooled
with poor people. They were like Robin Hood, only far more so.
A VISIT TO THE INCA RUINS
The city has a museum of Inca civilization and it is a honey.
Many original big long pointed stones with their carvings have
been removed from in front of the temples, brought down and set
up here. Big and little stones of very hard structure were worked
into human heads, dogs, cats and so forth. Mummies, burial sacks,
elaborate and fine fabrics of wearing apparel are everywhere.
There are thousands of square feet of pottery of every shape, and
still showing the original delicate colors. It would take weeks
to even take a rather hurried look at the things that museum
contains. Incas were a great and cultured people.
