CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 1.-Two
hundred years and more have passed
since the outbreak against witch
craft occurred at Salem Village,
Mass.
But now IN the twentieth century
another instance Of alleged witch
craft has made front page news with
the killing the other day Of Mrs. Ida
Rose Cooper by Mrs. Martha Wald-
man, IS. in Cleveland.
Both Mrs. Waldman and her ped

1882 there were $50 victims. "1van
the Terrible" Of Russia, had one Of
his grandmothers executed in a bru-
tai and terrible manner for supposed
wttchcraft. He also suffered from
decisions OF persecution.
Other tortures and executions took
PLACE legally. Supposedly learned
men decreed death not only for
witches" but imprisoned persons
who declared they did not believe In
witches"
Americas Reign on Terror
In the United States the terrorism
directed against women began with
the hanging. In 1856, OF Anne Hib-
bins. for ~witchcraft, at Danvers
CSalem Village. Mass.)
In all the cases of witchcraft the
victims were accused OF having had
intercourse with the devil and were
credited with ability to assume the
appearance Of various animals such
aG a bat, a dog, a snake. a cat. or In
fact almost anything they wished.
They we're also believed 10 have the
power to create storms Of all kinds,
rain. hail and other tempests.
Witches were commonly supposed 10
ride on broomSticks. especially IN
France. The broomstick unques-
tionably was a symbol OF eroticism.
Aged Chief Victims
In those old days any old crone or
bag or aged woman was suspected OF
Witchcraft. Sometimes. however.
yer young girls were also suspected
or carnality with the devil or the
powers OF darkness"
AT the end OF the reign OF terror
nc Salem, 10 women and five men
had been tried. convicted and exc
cuted by hanging. for witchcraft, in
one year-between June and Sep
tember. 1892. And $50 others we're
imprisoned. although they were re-
leased in May. 1893. while 200 others
were suspected. but were never
brought TO trial.

But the total number executed In
the Colonies for witchcraft during
the seventeenth century probably did
not exceed % persons.
When 1t is considered that the
Colonials we're strongly religious, and
that anyone who denied the posi-

seventeenth century and prior TO
that time. considered by the majority
