HO0D00 DOCTOR HELD
FOR HIGHER COURT.
Must Answer Charge of Cheating
and SwindIing.


For cheating and swindling, Jesse
Nash, the hoodoo doctor, who swindled
Robert Carter, country negro. out of
$1.05, was yesterday remanded to the
City Court by Recorder Myrick.
Nash sold charms" to Carter, that
were supposed to bring him good luck
One particular charm was to enable
him to make up with his wife, from
whom he had separated.
When Carter went to Nash for aid
about his trouble with his wife. he was
told to put dollar in his mouth. This
he did. The hoodoo doctor after few
funny passes took the money. The five
cents was secured in the same way. In
return a couple of little nails and a
small cloth bag were given. The nails
were to bring good luck in a general
way and the bag was to enable Carter
to make up with his wife. The police
say Nash has cheated many country
negroes before, but was sharp enough
to catch only those, who were about to
leave town.
