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!"

The latter cause was

"What happened?"
"A man knocked at the door, entered
and said. '.Miss Arnold is expecting
you. She is in bath room.'
When I opened the door lie pushed
me in. lie put something burning
on my face, and I did not remember
anything more until Miss Barrette
and another woman entered. I was
undressed, except for n night gown.
My head hurt in the back. When
they went out of the bathroom I
found an envelope and wrote, 'Come
quick. Klla,' addressing Miss Joyce,
and threw it out of the transom.
"When .Miss Barrotte came in the
man a-sked hor: 'Why were you
Into?' And she snld something about
jcards keeping hor and opened a bottle.
They talked about mo and he
handed roe $f?0."
Miss (tingles nearly broke down.
She added: "Before the women
came the man said: 'Didn't Miss
lhirrette tell you not to tell what
happened here?'
"Sorno one threw a bottle over
the transom, and said It was to heln
me. It had an awful taste. The man
said there were no 'knockout' drops
in it. The stuff had a greenish tint
and they took the label off."

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
