In Louisiana, in slave days, the man who took a dislike ia an overseer sent for a con- Jurer to come and youtoo the ovomeer. The voudooist would ask $30, but finally reduce tha price to a pittance. Such practices are the be ginning of criminal voudaism, which carried limit in tropical countries, ends in muti- laten and all sorts of criminal practices as ordered by the voudoo priest of the neighbour hood. Crime, murder, and the sacrifice of human life are the climaxes.
Devout voudooiste will actually eat human flesh. According to many accounts they have hideous rituals of worship, including dances in caves and darkened temples, and often ending with the wildest forms of excitement and de bauchery.

A whisper was repeated from spectator to spectator that the goat without horns (a white. child) was to be sacrificed.
