BELIEVE SHE'S A V0OD0O.
But Mrs. otsingstaH Indignantly De-
MES the Charge.

hACS thC
Voodooism played an important part
in an investigation held by Magistrate
Bevans yesterday, and a verdict was
rendered by the justice in favor of
those who made the contention of
things mysterious and uncanny. The
hearing was preliminary examina-
ton in a breach of the peace case.
Mrs. Margaret OtsingstaIl had peace
warrants issued against John Hinges,
Mrs. Katie Hinges. his wife, and Sam
Pellet, all living near the toll gate on
the White Bluff road, and neighbors
of Mrs. Otsingstall. They at once de-
manded a preliminary examination,
which was granted by the magistrate.
Mrs. Otsingstall alleged that she had
been cursed and that her life had been
threatened by the crowd. She was in
mortal dread, she affirmed, that she
would either be killed, or done bodily
harm, and decided that it would be
wise to have the warrants sworn out.
so that the parties would be required
to furnish bail. With this in view she
went before Justice Bevans and had
the warrants issued, alleging among
other things, that an AK was thrown at
her last Sunday.
Mrs. Otsingstalrs story was that she
was sitting in her room, as she had
a right to do, when one of the party
under arrest sent an ak crashing
through her window. The weapon
passed dangerously near her head. She
declared that there had been no prov
ocation and that the attempt to take
her life was a wanton one. She pro-
duced an ak, which she said was the
one which was thrown through her
window.
The defense denied most emphatically
all of the allegations, and entered a
plea as interesting as it was unusual.
1t was alleged that Mrs. Otsingstall is
a witch of one kind or another, and
that none of the scenes that she de-
scribed happened. 1t was claimed that
in her frances she probably saw the
things which she believed happened,
but which in fact were only illusions.
The defense charged that they could
not be held responsible for the things
that she saw in frances, and that when
she communicated with the spirits it
was with those below, and not above.
1t was argued that her communications
were held with the Devil and that
when she had her pipe dreams she saw
the evil, which in the real did not
exist. 1t was held that her spiritual
istic stunts caused her to believe that
her neighbors ment her harm when no
such feeling of animosity or enmity
exists.
Mrs. Otsingstall denied that she is
a witch, or voodoo doctor, of any sort,
and was positive that she could not

had brought She declared that she
knew perfectly we'll what had happen
ed, and that she has nothing to do
with roots. or other things supposed to
be connected with the black art AL
though her statements were positive
the warrants against the defendants
were dismissed by the magistrate.

of Mrs. Pearl Slater, the contracting
parties being Mrs. Slater and DR.. ]. NJ.

by Prof. Charles Lane, of Helena, step

by a number of relatives of the con-
tracing parties. After the ceremony
an informal luncheon was served and
the bride and groom left for New York
on the night train to spend couple
of weeks in the metropolis. The parties
are among the most prominent people
in the city, and the event has been the
signal for a general expression of good
wishes from a host of friends.
At. noon to-day, at the residence OF
Mr.. c. S. Bondurant, Miss Julia Pal
mer, of Monticello, Fla. and Mr. l..
Marstellar, of Gainesville, Fla, were
united in marriage, the ceremony being
performed by Rev. c. c. Carson, of the
Presbyterian Church. The couple left
this evening for their future home at
Gainesville. The bride is a sister of
Mrs. Bondurant, while the groom is
one of the most prominent citizens of
Gainesville. Both are Well-knoWn
throughout this section and Florida.
Mr.. Reiner L. Denmark of this city,
has gone to Savannah to live and will
have law office adjoining that of
Adams, Freeman, Denmark & Adams.
Mr.. Denmark is a son of Col. E. p S.
Denmark. of this city. and is a nephew
of Mr.. Mills B. Lane and the late
Brantley A. Denmark of Savannah. He
graduated from the university a short
while ago, with high honors and starts
in life with the brightest prospects be-
fore him. He leaves many friends here
who wish him every success in the For
est City.
At Ousley station yesterday morn
ing, negro named Reddon Jones sent
his boy out to feed the horse The boy
built up small fire near the stable
and went in to shuck some corn. While
he was shucking the corn the fire COM
municated to the building. The barn
was quickly consumed and the horse
was burned to death before he could
be gotten out. The young negro
escaped from the flames by a close
shave.
The November term of the Superior
Court is in session here and Judge
Estes of Gainesville is presiding. His
charge to the grand jury yesterday
morning was unusually strong. The
business of the court was taken up af-
forwards, but nothing of interest has
been done as yet. The criminal docket
will be reached tomorrow and there
are two or three murder cases to be
disposed of. There are twenty-one
criminals in Jail to be tried.

DOUGLASS WAS IN vALDosTA.
Clerical Fraud Married aWife There
Also.

Valdosto, Ca, Nov. 1s.-James L.
Douglass, the white man who is so
badly wanted in Lithonia for deserving
his wife, is evidently the same man
who was married in this city under
the name of Hamilton some time in
June or July. The Lithonia man is
said to be alias Hamilton and his pic
ture is exactly that OF Hamilton. The
picture was recognized here at once.
and the name only confirmed the be-
lief of those who remembered him.
He came here with a young lady from
White Springs, Fla, and they were
married at the Methodist parsonage
Two days later he was here on his
way to Jacksonville, from which place
he said he was going to Scotland to
see about fortune which had been
left him. His baggage was levied upon
here for money borrowed on the day
of his marriage, and it was intimated
then that he was planning to desert
his wife. He conducted religious meet
ings in Florida and said that he was
a graduate of the University of Edin-
burgh.

"A Day and a Night" Before a Pleas
ed Audience.
The last play written by the lamented
Charles Hoyt--"A Day and a Night
was the attraction at the Theater last
night. There was no matinee perform
ance, and the very inclement weather
kept some away at night, but there was
an audience of fair size. IT was
thoroughly satisfied audience, too, for
the performance went well and the
specialties, most of them, were encored.
"A Day and a Night is like most
of Hoyts plays. 1t is simply vehicle
for introducing bright hits and special
ties. Some of it is very clever and the
dialogue is bright and entertaining.
The performance is made up Of al
most continuous specialties, and
among them were several new and
clever ones. THE Honey Sucker and
the Bee" Annie Laurie" and the
whistling specially were among the
best.

The sale Of seats for The Two Vag-
rants" which comes Saturday, opened
yesterday. The play scored a success
in New York last season, and comes
well recommended by the newspapers
of the cities in which it has played.
Arthur Dunn, the diminutive come
dian of "A Runaway Girl company,
which plays here next Tuesday, stands
four feet two whether he has his stock
ings on or not. and in consequence he
has considerable trouble in making
people take him seriously. About the
hotels and restaurants he is taken for
a precocious boy and frequently shovs
ed and jostled about when he gets in
the way. But in Denver he had a new
experience.
The train upon which the Runaway
Girl" company. arrived from Salt Lake
City was several hours late and did
not reach Denver until in the after
noon. The players were told that they
would have TO be at the theater for the
matinee at 3. and that there would
have to be some tall hustling Mr..
Dunn admitted that he would do the
hustling,: but insisted that II would
not be OF the tall variety SO when he
got off the train he took a cab for the
Brown Palace Hotel. accompanied by
Clara Belle Jerome, the Coincidence,
and asked the driver 10 hurry. When
he arrived at the hotel there was a
crowd at the desk, and Mr.. Dunn stood
