Days of Witchcraft Recalled

craft were recalled in the probate court
when Lena Tonow, resident of the
ination as to her sanity. On all sub.
jects but this one the woman is perfect
ly bright and apparently in her right
mind, but on this she is decidedly off.
The delusion is not new, however, as
the neighbors say she has suffered from
it more OF less for the past fifteen
years. Her brother also, with, whom she
has made her home, the two living on
the farm together, has had the same de-
lusion to some extent and once was sent
to Rochester, but was kept there for
only a couple of weeks before he was
released. ..a as-
Miss Tornow, who is fifty years old,
is in a trying position at the present
time as she is alone on the farm.
About two weeks ago her brother was
bitten by their dog which gave appear
ances of suffering from the rabies. The
head was taken off and sent to the state
board of health for examination and the
report has not yet been received. Fear
ing that he might contract rabies from
the bite and wishing to prevent such a
possibility he has gone to the Pasteur
institute at Chicago for treatment, leav.
ing his sister alone on the farm.
Miss TornOw is unable to speak Eng
lish and the neighbors and town consta-
BILE who brought her in preferred that
some person she did not know be SO.
cured as her interpreter, and accord
ingly Joseph Lins was called into seq
vice. In talking through Mir. Lins of
the way in which her live stock became
bewitched Miss -Tornow became quite
excited. She said their dog and cat were
both bewitched and their best cow also
was bewitched last October so that for
six months she gave such thin milk
it could not be used She said she had
gone to Germany some twelve years
or so ago, and while there had consulted
a lady doctor who had given her pre-
scription against witchcraft, but it did
not seem to work very well. She said
the trouble on the farm dated back to
the time strange dog not belonging to
any of the neighbors, with long silky
hair passed that way. If the lady could
be found with hair the same color as on
this dog she believed the witchcraft
troubles -on the farm could be ended by
killing her.
According to the testimony of her
ncighbors Miss Tornow is good house
keeper and looks well after the stock
on the farm. In all ways except on the
subject of witchcraft she is perfectly
sane, but she sometimes dumps refuse
on neighboring farms and tries other
methods which she says she thinks will
overcome the witchcraft spell.
1t developed that both Miss Tornow
and her brother had assaulted several
people in the belief they were bewitch-
ing their stock, and at the time of as
sault had acted as if they wanted to
get rid of these people.
The taking of testimony was before
Drs. E. s. Muir and n. S. Lane and
occupied over an hour. 1t was decided
to be best to commit Miss Tornow to
the hospital at Rochester, where it is
hoped under treatment she can recover.
She was taken there this afternoon.
