A HooDoo COIN.
A Twenty Dollar Gold Piece That
Brought Bad Luck.

Brought Bad Luck
An old resident Of Carthage tells a
reporter for the Press strange story
Of a cursed coin. Among some money
turned over 10 Dick Griffith. treasurer
of Jasper county years ago, was a $50
gold piece with a singular design cut in
It. The design represented a cross with
snakes coiliGg around it. The old resi-
dent" says that when it was passed
across the hand it caused a peculiar
squsamishness' to pass over cue.
Now. the singular part Of the whole
thing" he continued was that every
man who held that coin in his hand had
a long spell Of sickness afterward. and
some died. ! saw Griffith year OF two
later. aud he said he mad never fully re-
covered. and never expected to.
Griffith got interested in that coin
when ne heard what il had done. and be-
gan to trace back its history. He remem-
bered Cal Davis had paid il 10 him, and
asked where he got it. Davis had got il
from a nan named Holt, and Holt got il
from the guerrilla chief sam Hide
brandt.
"H;Idelrandt got the coin from a Span
lard il d stage robbery The Spaniard
told him the coin had been cursed by
the Pope. as il was part of an American
booty captured by pirates in Chinese
waters and sent to Rome as a peace Of
feriug. This coin was stolen from Rome
by a Spaniard, and he. fearing to pass
It. gave it TO his friend, who was coming
to America. Hildebre adj nearly died OF
fever while carrying il, and Holt died
from some peculiar ail.Hent which BAT
fed tne doctors
What became OF the coin I do not
know, but every word of this story Is as
true as anything l ever told. Carthage
