Trial by Ordeal In Russia.

A curious survival of ordeal supersti

southern Russia. When theft is COM
mitted in household the servants are
summoned together and sorceress is sent
for. Should no confession be made by the
guilty party the sorceress rolls up rs
many little balls of bread as there are
suspected persons present. She then
takes one of these balls, and addressing
the nearest servant, uses this formula:
@If you have committed the theft the oall
will sink to the bottom of the vase, but II
you are innocent it will float on the

Some people are SO susceptible to inn
