Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-07-19

rHE hazards of life on and
around the sea being what
y they are, inventors are
always trying 10 devise new and
better life-saving gadgets for the
protection of people who need
such aids TO continued existence.
During the past few years the
patent offices of every nation,
and especially the one run by
Uncle Sam in Washington, have
been flooded with sketches and
working models of so called life
preservers.
Some Of these contraptions
have been impractical pipe
dreams that would be worse than
useless in an emergency. Others
are sensible and have attracted
the keen interest of Government
officials and manufacturers.
The military powers-that-be
have been even more interested
than industrialists in these things
because our fighting men must
have them when they travel
under on or over the seven seas.
One of the newest and efficient
of life-saving get-ups is shown

Leopard Men Avenging Dead King

knowledge Of it. He said he had
bought the skull from a wander
ing peddler.
Then came a Doboro, member
of a nomadic TRIBE. whispering
fearfully that he had news.
It took hours before the police
officer could persuade the sweat
ing native that he would be pro-
tected if he would only talk.
Well he faltered. it was only
the day before Powys' body had
been discovered that he had come
upon a party Of Samburu war
riors. They were clashing blood
stained spears and chanting deep
throated songs. And they carried
the severed head and arms of a
white man.
Five young men were arrested.
For days they lay sullen and
silent. Then two broke and con-
fessed that at the order of the
witch doctor they had tortured
and killed the white man. They
had taken the head and arms for
medicine.
This is what happened.
Powys. unaware that he was
being stalked, was following the
spoor of the lion that had ma
rauded the Cole farm. He passed
below an overhanging branch,
usual perch of a man hunting
leopard.
With a deathly scream the
Leopard Man launched himself
like dive bomber upon the hum
ter, iron claws ripping at his
throat.
AS the victim struggled the
others joined the murderer in
mutilating the dying man; after
wards cutting off the head and
arms.
With their usual cunning they
made no attempt TO hide the
crime figuring that lion would
be blamed. 1t was.
That night in the witch-doc-
tors kraal there was a diabolical
orgy.
The witch-man squatted in the
freight with. before him, the
head and arms of the white man.
In a circle stamped the murder
ers and their women.
They drank Borfima, dancing
the dance of death, while the
witch-doctor leaped about them
bowling incantations and prom
Using them safety from punish
ment
They danced the unspeakable
Baringoe, the dance of spear
blooding. in which the girls
fawned and twined about them,
promising every favor in return
for the murders they must COM
init.
Many girls, arrested later, con-
fcssed to this.
The Killers improvised a song
telling how they had murdered
the white man. And the whole
party drunk with Borfima ended

the night in a frenzied saturna-
liza.
They were convicted and
hanged.
It was thought until that time
that the Samburus knew nothing
Of the Leopard Men. But they
were spear blooders" believing
that no one could call himself
man until his spear had drunk
blood" To prove it he had to
return to his kraal with the skull
of his victim.
At first it was enough to kill
native; so the Samburus would
waylay the peaceful Kikuyu and
drag them into the bush. There
they were lacerated in the tradi-
tional Leopard Men manner and
left to bleed TO death. The blood
attracted ants and beasts which
soon destroyed all evidence of
crime and the cleaned skulls were
taken to the kraal to be used in
the Inauguration of the murder
ers as men and warriors.
But the witch-doctors, embold-
cned by their success with the
timid Kikuyu. eXhorted their
young men to kill whites, prom
Using them extra honors If they
blooded their spears in white"
blood.
The murder of Mr.. Powys was
the first of that type.
THE society of Leopard Men
is an exciting sect to read about
in novels" said an official
spokesman Of the Government at
Nairobi, but all the members of
that resuscitated order are
treated by us as plain murderers
and criminals. They will be
flogged for torturing. fined and
imprisoned for stealing and
hanged for murder.
I'VE are going 10 make Kenya
a safe colony for both white men
and black"
1t has been decided that the
Leopard Men. who actually be-
lieve themselves to have ac-
quired the souls and hearts Of
leopards, achieve this state by
the constant drinking and anoint-
ing with Borfima. This deadly
brew is kept in special containers
watched over by high priests of
the Society who teach their fol-
lowers that the Borfima will lose
its power if. from time TO time,
it is not kept potent with the
blood and fat of a freshly killed
human.
Recently a British force went
into the bush Of Sierra Leone and
arrested over 400 powerfully
built natives. They found with
them quantities Of leopard hides,
masks, claw daggers and jugs of
the deadly Borfima
A French explorer near the
territory Of the Moroli Nabo re-
ported a strange experience.
He was walking along a mar
row trail near native village
when he saw a pretty girl filling

carried away by animals that
had shared in the kill.
There the matter might have
ended.
But for the Kikuyu.
They are a harmless, farming
tribe, who tend cattle outside
Nairobi and about the Kenya up
lands.
One of them whispered to a
Nairobi policeman that he had
seen the skull of a white man in
a Samburu witch-doctor's kraal.
Investigation carried a police
officer through elephant grass
trails to the Samburu village.
The skull was recognized, by a
gold capped tooth, as that Of
Theodore Powys.
But the witch-doctor denied all
