are all true!
John Lee was an Englishman who refused to be hanged! In 1884 the police said Lee had killed an old
woman who he used to work with. There was nothing to show that Lee had killed the woman. Lee told
the police he hadn"t done it, but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged. On the day of the
hanging, however, the door in the floor, through which Lee"s body would fall, did not open. They tried
three times but each time the door stayed closed, even though it had worked well the day before. In the
end they sent Lee back to prison, where he lived for the next twenty-two years. At all times, John Lee
said he hadn"t killed the woman, and he believed it was the "hand of God" that had saved him from death
by hanging.
The police in Venezuela (委内瑞拉) in South America followed a man home one night. He was the
thief they wanted to catch. However, half of his house was standing in Venezuela and the other half was
standing in Colombia (哥伦比亚), Venezuela"s neighbor. When the police entered the house, the man
ran upstairs to his bedroom, which was in Colombia, and called his lawyer (律师). The Venezuelan
police were not allowed to enter Colombia so they could not enter the bedroom. They asked the police
in Colombia to help. The Colombian police refused to help because the man"s crime (罪行)was not a
crime in Colombia. In the end, the Venezuelan police gave up and went back to the police station.
