FACTS DlSPR0VE OLD LEGEND
Seems a Pity to Spoil Good Witchcraft
story Long Believed by Mexi-
can Peasants.

one of the strange legends of the
City of Mexico is that Of the Mulata
de Cordoba 1t is told, and believed
among the lower classes, that beau
tiful mulata who lived at Cordoba
came to have the reputation of
witch, and by the sale of love charms
and forecasts she amaSsed so much
money that the Holy Inqulsition seized
her and charged her with witchcraft,
with an idea Of thus Selling her for
tune. She was locked In u cell and
sentenced to be burned but on the
morning of her doom priest report
ed that he went to her prison to give
her last chance to confess, and
that he found her putting the finishing
touches 70 chalk ship drawn on the
walls.
He afterward Swore that the woman
laughed at him and jumped on the
chalk lines as II It were a real ship,
and then, before his eyes, the ship
sailed along the wall and through the
end Of the cell and disappeared, with
the beautiful woman laughing mock
ingly back at him The facts in the
matter are that beautiful young
woman was held and about 10 be
burned, and was freed Before the
execution, but investigators declare her
escape was not Via chalk-Grawn ships
but via the aid Of priest who proved
more susceptible than his office war
