Blood Money
Money paid to a person for giving such evidence as shall lead
to the conviction of another; money paid to the next of kin to induce
him to forego his “right” of seeking blood for blood; money paid to a
person for betraying another, as Judas was paid blood-money for
showing the band the place where Jesus might be found.
