jAiLLED AS a WITCH
Indiana Woman Accused of Caus.
ing ChiId's Death.
1t Is Alleged She Has FOrctold and
Caused Every Calamity That Has
Bcfallcn Evansville. Ind.

The filing of surety Of the peace
proceedings against Mrs. Margaret
Gilmore, of Evansville, Ind, makes
the latest case i'll which the law has
been invoked against anyone accused
OF practicing witchcraft. The speci-
fic charge was the causing Of the
death of n two-year-old SON Of John
Paris, and the incident lead to tho
unfolding Of the history OF the aged
woman.
In the last ten years she has been
transformed in the public mind from
Il mothcrly old woman into q vicious
minister Of cvil whose chief delight
is TO haraSS her neighborS and fiji
them with awe on account of her
predictions Of calamitics. In the i'm
mediate neighborhood Of Mrs. Gil
morc's shack nothing is too terrible
to be believed about her. The wav-
ing OF Il broom from her front door is
enough to drive all the children in
the community into their homes in
abject fear.
Ten years ago Mrs. Gilmore. now
50 years Of age, was known as an cX-
ceDtionally good nurse and was pop
nlar In the community. She was
poorer than most Of her neighhors
but managed to make her living by
selling vegetables she raised in her
garden and by raising chickens for
the market AS she grew older she
withdrew from intercourse with her
ncighbors and then stories Of her &c
ccntricitics began to crop out She
was alleged to have seen Visions: to
have predicted storms and nunda-
tons, sudden deaths and unhappy
marriages, ana in fact every calamity
that bcfcll the people individually
and collectively. She never proressed
to he claivoyant or a necromancer,
but her reputation was made by pop
ular talk.
The incident that led to the recent
proceedings was caused by the kill
ing OF a chicken. The Paris family
lives in the same neighborhood as
Mrs. Gilmore and her chickens annoy
cd them. One day the son threw
stone and injured a pullet, and Mrs
Gilmore Is alleged to have said that
If the chicken died one Of the Paris
cough and died within two days. The
chicken died in s hours and the day
following one Of the Paris children
was smittcn with whooping cough
and died within the specified time
The incident caused much comment
and finally the action brought by the
father.
The court ignored the charge, say
ing that these are not tho days in
which Salem witch massacres are
possible. The authorities have also
to give the woman special
protection against any possible hos
tility on the part Of the incensed
