letter said. They would say: He

educated man let him go to the
city. He may bring misfortune
upon u.s."
Then. whatever misfortune befell
the villagers, whether in the fields
or their home life, was ascribed to
the "accursed black magic of Sem
enov." He got the name of "Sor-
cerer."
The letter continues:
IF a COW died suddenly or
wagon broke down, the whole viii
lage would start whispering: THAT
is the sorcerers evil eye"
"One day recently Semenov was
on his way to the neighboring
village of Butzevo. He was carry

and his daughter Vera. Semenov's

Where are you going?' shouted
Malutin to Semenov.

Two shot were fired. Semenov

AT the investigation the Malutins

Yes, we killed the sorcerer. Is
that a sin? He brought harm to our

Departed With
Her $40 Bill

A young white man worked
a clever scheme yesterday to
get $40. He went to the home
of Mary Thomas. 1449 Church

he was a fortune teller. At
his request she handed him
$40 bill, which he placed in a
handkerchief.
The handkerchief was handed
back to the woman, and she was
told to wear it for three days
when he would return and tell
her her destiny. When he left
she discovered that the bill
