lOld Witch
Law Repealed
TV'
Dover, Del. UP) It's no long
er against the law to practice
witchcraft in Delaware.
The State Assembly has voted
to abolish Delaware s ancient
witchcraft law which read In
part:
"Whoever shall pretend to ex
ercise the art of witchcraft, con
juration, fortune telling or deal
ing with spirits, shall be fined
not exceeding one hundred dol
lars, and may be imprisoned not
exceeding one year."
The colonial law, one of sev
ral obsolete statutes discovered
by the state's revised code com
mission, could not be striken
from the books without express
approval of the Assembly. Its
exact year of origin has been
lost in the mists of legislative
antiquity.
