of fanaticism has reached me from the

famous In the village as a prodigy, and
was admired almost as a miraculous be

in tne same locality there lived a
rich Slid "religious" peasant called the
"Saint," who was believed to be a
prophet.
Tills "Saint" grew Jenlous of the
cniu s popularity, and bcan to spread
rumors that should he be allowed to
grow up he would become the anti
Christ and bring untold woe upon the
peasants.
On July 80 the 'prophet" called a
meeting of the 30 richest peasants in
the district, to whom he explained that
If the boy was killed they would be
made happy and prosperous, and the
village would become the capital of the
country.

and distributed lighted candles amongst
his follower.
He headed the nrocesslon tr th
child's home at 11 o clock at night, and
demanded that the parents should hand
the boy over, as ha wanted to nrv with
him.
The "prophet" washed the youngster,
saying prayers meanwhile, and then
choked him by placing his foot on his
neck. In front of the parents.
Subsequently he ordered the awe

The horse waa started, and the peas
