Chapter 15:

The Sacristans

(The Summary of “Noli Me Tangere”)

Crispin and Basilio are sacristans of the church at San Diego.  The two are worried since the Sacristan Mayor and the Curate has accused Crispin of stealing two gold pieces and he was to remain in the church until the money is returned.  Crispin also complains about the frequent beating and whipping that he receives.  After ringing the church bells, the Sacristan Mayor beats Crispin to make him confess his crime.
