I'rlwmor In >1 Lssouri Works the Sheriff for $1 and Hi.s C'hurfge Is Lighten?>d. The uverasc Southern nrcro nro fiTh thi? services of u "conjure" man to those ol' a lawyer when he is arrested and placed in prison. It cost Sheriff Hall, of Macon, Mo., $1 to learn this fact, and now he is investing another dollar to find how far the "conjure" ruan and his charms can go. George Christian, an Alabama negro, was arrested and placed in a cell. Sheriff Hall went to him to ask if he desired a lawyer. The negro replied that ho did not. but he knew a man who could help hint more than all the lawyers in the world put together and that all he needed was to bring the help. The sheriff gave the dollar and Christian wrote to Blue .Jacket for help. In a few days he received a small sack, to ho hanged In the center of his cell. The district attorney has reduced the cltargo from one of burglary to petit larceny. Now George is after another $1 in the hope that it may he the means of purchasing his freedom. Sheriff Hall has agreed to purchase the experience. The "conjure" man or the "doctor" as he Is sometimes called, is a most important man in some colored communities and once he gets a reputation he is sure to have his own way for years to come. One day last spring Blue Jacket was called by a distressed client to charm away the evil spirit that led his wife to receive attentions from another. Blue Jacket sniffed around the premises, remarked that it would cost $20.60 to remove the cause of trouble and stated there was a rusty nail preventing a house vine from growing. He found the nail, removed it and the client was happy. All would have gone well had not the man's wife eloped that night with the man who was to have been charmed away. Blue Jacket made another hit in Macon when he caught the man who was stealing coal from the Baptist church. Tracks and looso coul were his clews. iilifs. llUjmilKS >1 WICIOW, 111 me same city, was an unlucky and religious woman. I lor calf died without an apparent reason, one of her children was injured on the railroad and other mishaps caused her no end of trouble. Finally she called the "conjure" man, a sorjt of oasis in a desert, a rock in a weary land, or a lighthouse to a shipwrecked sailor. For $;t0 she revived a sack which was to charm away the evil spirit that beset her. Hut her cow was killed and the "conjure" man declared some devil had been in her house. The contents of the sack showed a stick of pine and a slice of Irish potato. "it is remarkable how strong a hold the 'conjure' man has upon some of the negroes, particularly in the South," remarked t4io Uev. A. F. Jenkins, who was formerly pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal church, at Keota, another mining town of Macon county. "One of the most noted whom 1 recall just now w.i* HIWWII JIM IHIIHOr uoorgo .IOI10S. "lie practiced all through Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. A 'conjure' man with a reputation sets calls from a wider territory than most physicians, and ho charges just what he wants and generally gets his money down before he turns a peg. Once he turns a trick which gives him standing it is mighty hard to discredit him." On one occasion the Rev. Mr. Jenkins tolls how ho challenged "Dr." Jones to bring down all his worst cures upon him. "Flrother Jenkins," he said in a pitying tone, "I have the groat ok t J ambiguity for you, I really has. You | will be given a while for nccolera| tion, and if you don't submit to the I tergiversation of tho spheriods you will bo struck dead?next year!"

Young Irish Laeenmker Says Shf He? llcves That There Were Knock* out Props in Iloverage. The sensational Wellington Hot**) bathroom attack incident was reached in the trial of ICllu Gtngles in cotirt at Chicago Wednesday. The direct examination by the defense of the young Irish lacemaker, accused of the theft of lace from her erst w nilo employer, Miss Agnes Barrette, was resumed to bring out the defendant's life story. Justice Brentano threatened to photograph every woman and scores of women turned away. Miss (Jingles testified that she came from Ireland on a ticket bearing the name of Kiln Raymond, though she never lived under that name. She was in a hospital at Relleville, Ontario, being taken there by Mrs. Thornton, "for whom I worked." Sho said that when she went to the Wellington to collect eighty-three cents from Miss Arnold in room [>45, she know Miss Arnold was not there. "What happened?"

SAYS HE DID IT Unexpected Confession Made in Murder Trial. HORRIBLE DETAILS , Iloh lioirbiv, Ono of the Mm Charged With Slaying Ofllocrw is Oconee on tIio Night of March H, Claims llo Kind (lie Shot* That Proved Fatal. "Yes, I killed the Corblus." With these startling words did Hob Bolcher clear up Tuesday the mystery as to who 11 rod the fateful shout that removed forever Deputy United States Marshal YV. 15. F. (Sorbin and and hia deputy, "Chris" CJorbin. Four persons, J. B. Palmer, Charley Palmer, father and son, and - Lou Belcher and Hob Hotelier, mother and son, stand charged with murdering the two oflicers near Walhalla o? the night of March S, 1909. Their case was begun in the Sessions Court. Although nearly a score of witnesses had been examined, not before Holr was placed on the stand had the author of the shot been repealed. Belcher, nervous and perspiring, told the following story of the event, of that night: "About 2 o'clock that night soui? one knocked on the door. I smarted to open it, but my grandfather said: 'Let me open it.' He asked who was there. The reply was Corbin.' Open the door or I will bust it down.' Pap, J. B. Palmer, unbuttoned the door and the Oorbiu's the old one (W. B. K.), came Into the room where we weru sitting about thf lire with a cocked pistol In his right hand. 1 did not run and hide. I did not know who they were, uoi what they wanted. I backed into a room to the left, and W. B. >\ Oorblu glanced at me, but said nothing. Pap asked him IiIh business, and ho made no answer. He went into the cook room, took up a lamp there, and climbed up on the stove. Lou told him to get down, as wr had stolen nothing. Ho said: 'That's all right.' Lou said he could not walk around the house with oocked pistol. Again he replied: 'That's all right.' Lou and Charley Palmm, my uncle, followed hitn. He search- ' ed around in there about flv? minutes. I stayed iu the front ol the> house watching Chris Corbln, who was standing with a pistol drown In the front door. Bill Corbln came back into the big room, and without a word walked up to me and put his big pistol barrel right over 111 V* hi?o r* Ck??l . - ? ..... ...... i. v>iiuj ley KUOCKetl ttlO pistol to ono side just as it was fired lit) wanted to kill mo, but did not have tlino to tire. 1 dodged. (Thris then ran in and grubbed my hand, ' and in jerking loose from him iny elbow knocked a board from the d side of the house. Chris grabbed iue by the coat, and pulled mo toward the front door, tiring again. Just then l>ou said: 'Oh, you shot me,' and I grubbed the pistol to protect my mother. He dragged me out of the door and tired twice at my head, but I turned the pistol, lie dragged me out doors toward an apple tree. About that time, when Charley and Lou were hogging them not to kill me, 1 hoard Charley say: 'Oh, Lord, you lui\e killed rr.e,' ami fell. 1 jerked loose from Chris to run to Charley, when 1 saw Hill Corbin trying to chop my mother with an axe. I ran in the house and got my shotgun. It'll kept coming with his axe as If he meant to kill either mo or Lou, so when he was three feet otY, I shot and he fell. Chris Corbin then fired again at me, and I returned the flro and he fell. I thought Charley was dead on the ground. I shot hoc \use I saw iri**y were trying to kill mo I never did know what they wero trying to kill nio for. I saw 110 papers I could have escaped through the window when they came." If there was ever any doubt as to the plea of the defendants it is now removed. Illegal Invasion of a man's house and firing to kill all the defendants will bo charged against the two dead men. On crossexamination by Solicitor Bonham, the witness was considerably confused, it was truly a gruelling examination. Court adjourned for the day with the ^ witness still on the sand. The State rested Its ease before tho dinner hour. It was evident tli.it they will try to prove a conspiracy to prevent the arrest of Boh. Judge Dantzler admitted testimony going to show that the defendants knew that a wnrr-m for Hob's arrest for shooting into a mall box would be issued. "Witnesses wore in trod need to prove and disprove that some one had boon in the loft, where, the State contends, Hob was told by the others to hide. Many gruesome objects were of- f fered in evidence, Including bloody gun wads and shots, taken from the lungs of the dead man; bloody skirts, trousers and waists worn by the defendants. The crowd overflowed from the court room Into the square and streets nearby. Many women were present. . t u A jJj g si
