miraculous power.-; attribute t. him
"by the negroet, the old negr, ahvav.
hastily denied such claims and vehe
mently protested that they v.vr.- merely
the inventions of his enemies. To the
negroes, however, old 'I.ige would de
ny that he had ever told tho -white
follcs' that he wai, not a high prkvst of
voodooism, pos.scs.-ed of divino attri
butj and familiar with the my.itery
of human existence.
I-'or tho past quarter of a century t!u
locality hat. been disturbed periodically
by accusations against the old wizar '
by members of his race who believed
that thoy had been placed under
-speit " tor some laneiett slight or tc
uause he was paid to do so by their
t-neray. Thew comjdaint;. were of
rariouR forms. In one case tho victim
ii tho old negro's pretensions alleged
Ui.rJ3.e'nacl forced him to .swallow a
'piece of corn knife in his sleep, lie
could feel tho point cutting its way j
through his fic.ih. He was examined I
bv phy.'.icians and aptxxircd to W sui-;
feriug all the torments incident to the
introduction of a metallic substance in
the human stomach. After lingering
several days in awful delirium, in
uhich he repeatedly claimed that he
had been "tricked" by old 'Ligo Jiroad
Ax. the victim died. A post-mortem
investigation was7nudo. The stomach
v:a.-. ivightfully swollen and inflamed,
but if, as was believed, the negro had
been poisoned, the drug used was
subtle as to defy surgical skill to de
tect its presence. This 011I3' served to
convince the negroes more thoroughly
of the voodoo doctor's knowledge of
the black art.
Tho old voodoo doctor's influence
among tho negroes of southern Ken
tucky has increased of late years. This
is partially attributed to the fact that
though he ha . redded here more than
a quarter of a century, ho has not per
ceptibly aged since that time. Ho is
almost as vigorous now as when he
made hit, appearance in this locality.
The best authorities agree that the
old negro is more than one hundred
years old. He is not positive a:, to his
age. Familiarity with events early in
the present century indicates that he
v.'as probably born in tho last decade
of the eighteenth century. Ho was
brought to Xew Orleans in 1S00 by a
French planter who left Cuba at the
outbreak of the war between J'Yanco
and Spain. The old voodoo priest pre
fers to bo silent on this subject, as he
desires to impress his race with tho
fact of his great age. He declares
that he is one hundred and forty year:
of age, and that he will never tile, hav
ing discovered th elixir of immortal
ity. Many of these negroes assert
that the secret of his longevity is that
lie occasionally takes the form of a
vampire and repairs- his shattered
constitution with the blood of his
younger victims. The power of old
'Idge to inhabit tho body of animals at
will is not questioned by many of
those miller his inllueiice.
