where the one commenced and the
other ended. His clients cause was
his individual cause, and no legal lore

RITES OF WITCH
DOCTORS IN CVBA
Brutal and .Supersffsious Prae-
ficef Revealed In Mur-
der Trial.

On Nov. 10, 1904, Zoila Sanchez child
Of Francisco Diaz Sanchez and Anna
Peres de Sanchez, twenty months old,
disappeared from her home on the. out
skirts Of Guira de Melena, q town
about thirtJ-tive miles from Havana.
The mother had left the child tn a
banana patch while she went back
to the house about her work, for the
Sanchezes are poor white people. The
parents made a frantic search for the
baby, but were unsuccessful tn tracing
her, says a Havana correspondent.
Then It was recalled that few days
before Virginia Perdomo, aged three
years, had been enttced from her home
by a negress, but had been recovered
The cohored settlement was watched,
as It was a well known fact that sew
eral notorious witch doctors were prac-
tcing their rites tn the community.
Nothing was discovered until Nov.
26, when the body Of Zoila tn good
state OF preservation was found In q
thtcket near the Zuniga farm. An IN
cision bad been made between the ribs
and the heart removed, presumably
while the child was still alive
A great cry went up from the people
to send Judge Gonzales Landa, a ia
nous criminal expert, to the scene Of
the crime to dtsentangle the mystery.
Judge Landa was appointed to invest
gate and went at once to Guira. The
result vas the arrest Of twelve persons
Of both sexes and the detention Of 125
witnesses.
Domingo Boucourt, an old African
negro Of powerful physique, Is the chief
witch doctor, and be Is accused Of hav-
Ing planned the murder. The chief
witness for the prosecution Is Luisa
Leal q m1latto, who testified that she
lived tn the house of couple named
Tabares and had heard that Boucourt
ordered pouttices prepared with the
blood Of q white person for Juana Ia
bares. The reputed witches were
brought to tri2l On March To- four
months from the date OF the crime,
with Judge Landa presiding. Five
other Judges sat With him.
Judge Landa ordered the clothes Of
Victor Molina and hyperion Ponce,
who were accused Of abductng the
child, sent to the national laboratory
to be chemically analysed, and the
stains thereon were found to be t2:ose
Of human blood. Two knives idend-
fed as belonging to Molina and Ju-
liam Amaro were afso stained
It was proved by the prosecution that
Juana Tabares, who had given birth
TO st1 children, none Of whom bad liv-
ed, being about to be confined again,
sent her husband, Pablo Tabares, to
consult with Domingo Boucourt A

Lines Affectionately Dedicated to tht
Memory of Our Dear Brother
2 NJ RamberQ.


F. NJ. Bamberg.
Time and again during the past four
weeks have I tried to write few lines to
the memory of our dear good brother, but
each time binding tears would fill my
eyes and the pen would have to be lala
aside. 1t is natural for US to magnify
the virtues of our loved ones, but after
all we knew them better than any one
else, then why should We not with pro-
priety speak of these things.
His life so fully demonstrated the pos
sibilities of American citizenship. Young
men can find encouragement and lnsplra-
ton in the fact that he made his way
from a penniless orphan to man OF
wealth and influence. And those who
are nearing the boundary of life can find
consolation ard example in the superb
manner in which he fought his final
battle, his courage and his fortitude in
the closing days of his life, recalling the
bravery he showed as soldier. DE was
a man of immaculate purity. No stain
was upon his escutcheon; no syllable OF
suspicion was ever heard whispered
against his character; he walked in noble
and perfect self control. BE had great
and generous love for his fellow man; he
knew their labors, struggles, and necessi-
ties, and was ever ready to help them
with his money and good advice.
From early manhood he had been a
member of the Methodist church. 1t was
the church of his parents, the church
where he had been trained from child
hood and where was laid the foundation
of that solid symmetrical character Tor
which he was so distinguished. And to
his church and educationl institutions his
purse strings were always united.
Domestic happiness has never been
better illustrated than in his life, a life
that closed so quietly, so peaceably that
we scarcely knew when he breathed his
last. Oh! what sundering of strong warm
manhood's friendship, what bitter render.
ing of sweet household ties. The wife OF
his youth whose whole life lay in his.
Six lovely daughters to whom his devo-
tion forms one of the loveliest and purest
pictures of the past, and two sturdy sons
Just springing into the closest companion,
Ship, how they will miss his wise and
loving counsel.
But we'll cling to the links of broken
chain.
With the tenderness of love,
And patiently wait as the bright days
Wane
That at last we can gather them up again
In fields that bloom above.
