Death Claims Man
Who Jailed Fatima
Children In 1917
LISBON, Portugal, Sept. 3
(NC)—Death has claimed the
man who jailed and threatened
the three children to whom Our
Lady of Fatima appeared in
1917.
It has just been announced
that Arturo de Oliveira dos San
tos, former administrator of the
district of Vila Nova do Ourem,
died here at the age of 71.
Senor Santos had always
maintained close silence on the
events at Fatima. It is not
known whether he died recon
ciled with the Church.
Lucia, now a Carmelite nun,
is the only survivor of the three
children. Francisco died on
April 4, 1919, and Jacinta on
February 23, 1920.
In a brief summary of the
Fatima story written for the
Catholic Encyclopedia, Father
Cyril C. Martindale, S.J., of Eng
land, described the administrator
of Qurem as a Freemason. The
following is the account he gives
of the imprisoning' of Lucia and
her two companions in an at
tempt to make them divulge the
“secret” imparted to them by
Our Lady:

ministrator of the region order
ed the children to be produced at
Ourem, the headquarters of the
district. Only Lucia went, but
would reveal no secret. On Au
gust 13, he actually kidnapped
all three, . locked them up, put
them next day in a foul jail
(where they soon had all the
prisoners praying), fetched them
out, and said he would fry them
in oil if they would not reveal
the secret.
. “Jacinta was taken first; the
guard returned to say she was
dead. Francisco followed. Final
ly Lucia was brought; she found
the two alive. The children were
then taken home , , , In compen
sation the children saw the
Lady on August 19 at Valinhos.
She said the kidnapping would
render the miracle (for which.
Lucia had begged) less grandi
ose, but that on October 13 they
would see St. Joseph and the
Holy Child, and Our Lord bles
sing the people. Coins left at the
Cova, she said, should be used
for the Feast of the Rosary and
for building' a chapel.”
