A negro in Bucklin, Missouri,
was a "Voudou," according to the superstitious belief of his
neighbors. An entire family died in one week, and he
was accused of killing them by witchcraft. A mob took
him out of his cabin at night, hanged him, and buried his
body twenty feet deep under huge stones. This was done
to prevent his getting out and harming his murderers. |
