years after that, and from that fact il was

wIrCHrs PLAGUn A BRIDE.
How a Young Wife Tries to Drive Away
Imaginary Dragons Which Haunt Her
Day and Night.


From the Neao York Morning Journal.
READING, PA, June 6.-Although
young and pretty, Mrs. Elizabeth Reich
/ ard is peculiar. A few weeks ago she
was married, but now she is in Jail. Her
/ husband declared in fearful tones that be
could not live with her longer. He be-
/ lieyed that his wife, whom he almost idol
lied, was bewitched. Gently the young
bride was led from her luxurious home
and placed in a comfortable room in the
jail. She made no resistance, but was
seemingly lost in deep reverie.
To-day Albert Rheilig, DR.. Rudolph b.
Schultze and Esquire Welble, of Strauss
town, who were appointed by the court to
inquire into her sanity, visited and had a
lengthy conversation with her.
They found that Mrs. Reichard was ap-
parently quite sane on every subject eX-
cept that of witchcraft. When this sub
ject was preached she talked in such a
wild manner that the committee had no
doubt that she is partially deranged.
They think with proper care and treat
ment she can be cured. The committee
Will present their report and testimony
taken at StrausstOwn to the court on
Monday. They found that Mrs. Reichard
had established a wide reputation as g
believer in witchcraft. Her husband
surrounded by legions of hideous imps.
She had everything possible to drive
away the evil spirits with which she
imagined she was beset. She accused
certain respectable ladies in Strauss
town with being witches and charged
that they used their spells on her friends
and killed them, and that now they were
trying TO bewitch her.
She resorJed to all kinds of methods to
drive the fn
which she resOrted was to fill pail with
ice water, take it out in the backyard and
place a hot tlat-iron in it to cool off. An
other method was to cut up live toad
into quarters, fry it well and eat it,. Still
another was to feed a black cat with
mothers milk and the witches would be
sure to disappear.
The husband testified that when he
went away to work he placed in her hands
some $40 with which to meet household
expenses. When he returned he found
the family suffering and hardly any money
in the house. He discovered that his wife
had been to this city and visited a witch
doctor, who had induced her TO invest S2S
in certain charms.
Mr.. Reichard found these had been
neatly sewed up in canvas bags, ana one
placed above each door in the house.
Mr. Reichard was so aggravated at his
wife's superstition that he tore down the
charms and burned them without looking
to see what they were composed of.
Mrs. Reichard says that the witches fire.
quently try to enter her soul. They sit
on her body and almost squeeze the life
out of her. Then they dance ON her head.
They have ugly-shaped witch wings, like
dragon, and she verify believes they are
imps sent from the bOtt0mless pit to annoy
her.

SHOT BY A JEALOUS WOMAN.
The Startling Murder of an Engineer by
His Sweetheart.
From TIE Ns,o York R.rnzd.

From, the Neao York Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June III have shot a
man and he is lying out there on the rail-
road track" These were the words that
startled few loungers about the door of
a private residence IN Belleville, ILL.,, at
9:46 O'Clock tonight. 1t was the resi-
dence of Henry Helmers. and some men,
bers of the family were sitting in the front
room and on the front door steps enjoying
the cool evening breezes. One of the party
had Just remarked that some one had shot
a pistol of somewhere in the vicinity, and
the parties were discussing the prOba-
biity Of It's being "a mistake when Nellie
Albrecht uttered the words above quoted.
The entire party started on "a run in the
direction indicated by the woman. They
found the body of George Baker lying
dead beside the Cairo Short Line Rail-
road track, about "a hundred yards from
where they had been sitting. The woman
who did the shooting passed into the front
door OF the house, whose inmates she had
startled, and walked right through and
out at the back door, since which time
she has not been seen.
At midnight the affair seems very mys-
teriOus. Several people saw Nellie Al
brecht walking along beside the man, and
all who saw them remarked that they
were In very earnest conversation. The
woman is not without notoriety locally.
Her family have lived many years in
Baileyille, and are eminently respectable.
While she was not considered spOtless as
70 character, anything said against her
virtue was uttered in whispers.
WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE?
Frank Baker was "a railroad engineer
aud man of good character. IL WAS
known by his friends and companions
that he had been cultivating rather inu-
mate relations with Nellie Albrccht.
When he was seen with her tonight IL
was supposed they We're simply taking
an evening stroll. 10 seems, though, the
girl had, or thought she had. cause for
jealousy. and that was the subject Of their
conversation. They were walking arm
in-arm. when suddenly the woman
stopped, stepped back one step and as
quick ms lightning leyeled a pistol and
sent a bullet crashing through her com.
panious heart. Her aim was accurate
and death was apparently instantaneous.
Al midnight the woman bad not been
caught.
