DREW BLOOD FROM CH1LD'S
tB0DY TO EFFECT CURE OF
SICK WOMAN.

HAVANA, Dec. 2G.LThe murder
OF the six-year-old white girl, Eu-
gcnia Hernandez, on November 25,
at ArtemisG, in the province of Ptnar
Del Rio, in connection with the prac-
tice of v0odOoism, is attributed to
two negroes, Joseph La Cruz and Eu-
gcnio Cardenas, now under arrest.
According to those who investi-
gated the crime the negroes obtain
cd the consent of the parents to draw
blood from the child's body, for the
purpose Of curing a sick woman
named Salvadora Arizona, They went
through the usual wierd ceremonies
in the presence OF the parents pre-
paratory to taking the blood. The
little girl was seized but managed to
free herself. and ran to her mother,
elfifgahg~to her skirts. This was re-
pcated each ting she saw the knife
in the wizards hand. The negro
then. decided to wound the girl by an
explosion of powder but the eXpIo-
sion proved so violent that it killed
the child.
