Summary

For many writers, one singular clue symbolizes the Dongo massacre and its rapid resolution by the Novohispanic judiciary. Written accounts obsess over one tiny bloodstain which plays a critical role in the events that took place from October 23 to November 7. This chapter continues to discuss the investigations of the murderers, including an array of different clues, not just the famous single drop of blood.
