New Mexico Witchcraft Tale From a Boston Observer
A Boston visitor reports a New Mexico incident where a native justice of the peace suspects witchcraft in a malaria patient. A woman accused is brought before the court, evidence shows the youth did not swallow foreign pins or needles, and she wins a $50 judgment plus three months in jail for the father’s defamation. The piece jokes that a possible import of manufactured pins would violate the McKinley bill, urging revenue scrutiny.
