VANCOUVER, B. C.—The Cana
dian iov»mmmt Is determined to
■tamp out witchcraft among; the
Nomad Indiana In British Colum
bia’s far northern wilds. They are
believed to be the last people on
the continent who practice It.
The first definite step In that di
rection already has been taken
with tbs arreet of five members of
the tribe charged with torturing; to
death a 17-year-dld boy and th*
brutal maiming of a young girl.
Both victims, contend the abortg
nes. were possessed of "evil
spirits,”
Arrival of a party of Canadian
Royal Northwest Mounted rollee
here with the prisoners follows a
thrilling hunt starting last June and
extending up to the froaen arctic
wattes, where even dog teams had
difficulty In traveling.
Pour of the Indians are men.
Th# fifth Is a girl with a bnhy In

to trial.
Last spring, rumors of the primi
tive cruelties of the till'# began to
reach the cars of the "watchdogs"
of the north.

INSPECTOR
Inspector T. V, K»ndy«-\Vunsch
rnd Constables P. W. Neville and C.
R. Martin were deleaated to make
the trip up to the Telegraph Hill
district to investigate.
They set out In June, making
their way first on horseback, then
by canoe, later by dog sledge and
finally afoot.
We ks later they arrived near
the Nomad's camp. It wasn't long
until the Indians discovered their
presence, for a bullet came whlt
xlng through the inspector’s tent.
Although a crack shot, the In
spector refrained from returning the
fire or saving anything shout the
shooting. To have done so would
have meant the failure of his mis
sion.
Through strategy, he finally was
able to obtain confessions that led
to the arrests.
And from thrm this much was
learned:
Early last spring the Nomuds
began to find fishing poor. Then
they turned to hunting with equal
ly us little BUcqae. Traps were set.
but they were always empty when
the h’tntara visited them.

Other members of the tribe began
executing a weird dance In a circle

But the young tree was weak and
it broke, throwing Atol to the

"STONE” AGE
Comes Back to Remote Rus
sian Regions
RlGA.—There are people In Rus
sia today living In a "stone age”
all their own, according to reports
of Professor Leon Tann, a Russian
ethologist, which have been receiv
ed here by Latvian authorities.
Professor Tann recently complet
ed a tour of the wilds of Russia
and It was tn the Jaraolav district
that they found the peasantry util
ising stone for Implements of num
erous kinds for every day usage,
where ordinary metal la now used
Lack of Iron and steel was attrt
ubted as the reason for this back
ward step, but Prof. Tann w-as of
the opinion that thla atone work
Implements turned out by man
thousands of years ago. The hatch
ets and axes of stone made by the
Jaraolav natives were particularly
well dene and serviceable.
In the district of Orlow, Prof.
Tann found several communities
where the natives vlrut*H;< live
without clothing of any kind all
summer, and tn winter hibernate
within their huts and dens and
exist on potatoes dried fish and
drted watermelon rinds.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"Well, no, mtsß. Yofi are. Miss
Raynor, now. ahe was on the stairs
behind where Miss Turner was—”
‘‘But that was after the shot. Miss
Mattie didn’t leave her room until
■he heard the report, then she

■ay It could have been fired by Miss
Turner, she could have hurried back
Into the house, and standing In that
north door between the house and
the sun room, she could have turn
ed on the lights—Just as we know
■he did do—after she had killed
her man.’’
‘‘Well, well—now, come, you do
make It sound plausible—but, no. If
■he had murdered Raynor, Miss
Turner would never have come back
here. She would have disappeared
entirely—yes. sir, so she would!’’
‘‘lt does seem likely,’’ admitted
Zlsl, "but I wanted to show you
that there was—there is a possi
bility of her being the criminal.”
"Oh, Lord, there’s a possibility of
any of those people who stood at
those various doors.”
“And each one so agitated, so
shocked, that no clear Recount can
bo got from any of them.”
“Thafa so. There'e Miss Turner
now—want to talk to her?”
Zlsl did, and Dobbins called the
nurse to them.
She was tactlturn but willing to
answer questions. She admitted her
attempt to poison Mr. Raynor, but
said she didn't mean to kill him,
only to make him 111 and then prom
ise to restore him to health It he
would give her a large sum of
moftey. Thla he had done and the
bonds she had received from him
were, she said, compensation tbr
her past Ills at his hands. •
She had feara for herself, for
though she had poisoned Mr. Ray
nor, his wife was In no position to
call her to account—nor was his
son, who had stolen rhe will. Miss
Turner felt sure the law would not
harm her even In the event of an
accusation.
“But, look here,” Zlzt said, “if
Mrs. Raynor’s tablets that she gave
to her husband secretly were harm
less, what were they 7”
’’Atropine—to counteract the ef
fect the morphine he was taking.”
"Well, why wasn’t the morphlna
discovered at the autopsy?”
"Because the atropine and the
morphine so counteracted each
other that all traces of both dis
appeared. Then they found only the
arsenic.”
"And you put the arsenic that
you had left in a vase In Mrs. Ray
nor’s room to Incriminate her?”
Zlsl'a black eyes glared at ttra
tranquil nurse.
"Not for that. I hid them there
to get them out of my possession.

and I thought they’d never be dis
covered. I'd no Idea the detectives
would make such a thorough
search.”
"Miss Turner” —Zizi looked
straight at her—"who do you think
fired that shot?"
Eva looked puzzled.
"Honestly, I don’t know,” she
said: "I can't help thinking it was
Mrs. Raynor, yet it may have been
Mr. Finley. It was surely one or
the other, as I've said all along.”
“You didn’t do It yourself?” ask

“Gracious, no!” she said: "I’m

how to handle firearms at all.”

"Besides,” Miss Turner went on,

the door and turned on the lights."
"And saw?” said Zlzl; "tell me

and Mr. Finley holding the pistol.
Is more needed to convict either
one of those two—or both?”
"Yes,” Zizi said. "I have tithed
it, and I know it must have taken
you at least a full minute to get
from the pantry to that <dpor and
to push the light button. In that
minute much could have happen
ed.” ,
"All right,” said Eva Turner,
"then you ought to get those two
off with a not proven verdict.
There is no possible doubt, but if
It can't be proved, then they can
go free, I suppose.”
"As you put it,” Zizi said, slow
ly, "it would seem that those two,
at the east and west doors, were
the actors of the drama, and you
two at the north and south doors—
you and Mr. Kent —were the au
dience."
. "Mr. Kent didn't come till three
of four minutes later.”
"What did you all do in the mean
time?”
"I don't know—nothing much, I
think. I found Miss Raynor at 'my
side, and, I think I grasped at her,
we rather clung together. Mr. Fin
ley continued to stare at the pis
tol —and he kept on rubbing it with
his handkerchief; Mrs.- Raynor
didn’t do anything, Just stood and
stared—”
"You said she was going out.”
"She turned and came back, and
stood in the doorway. Then Mr.
Kent came and he flew to» hev
side.”
"Without looking at Ms. Ray
nor?”
"He didn’t seem to—as T recol
lect. He rushed to Mrs. Raynor, and
put his arm around her —for she
looked as if she would faint.”
“You like Mrs. Raynor?” Zlzl
asked this quite casually.
"I don’t know,” Eva returned
slowly. "When I first came here I
hated her. She was Raynor’s wife
—she had everything that he had
long ago promised to me. You can

out of Douglas Raynor. I wanted to

sufficient doses to scare him and
to make him ill—but I didn’t mean

what awful misery that man heap
ed on her head. If Nancy Raynor
is accused—if she is tried, I will go
on the stand and testify to cruelty
she received, to Ignominy and scorn
that was heaped on her, and to
brutality unspeakable that she en
dured, until no Jury In the world
would give any verdict but full and
entire acquittal. Yet even with all
that, even though I pity her from
my heart, I can’t say I like her. We
are not congenial, she doesn't like
me—but my sense of Justice will
make me witness for her. if It ever
comes to that.”
“Good for you, Miss Turner,” Zi
zi cried. “Now, will your sense of
Justice go so far as to answer a few
questions?”
’’Certainly.”
"Then, knowing Mrs. Raynor fair
ly well, as you must, da you think
she Is a woman who would take
her husband's life—no matter what
he had done to make her miser
able?"
"No, I do not. But—”
"You’re going to say we can’t
vouch for a desperate woman. But
I want your honest opinion. Aside
from the facts of seeing Mrs. Rad

"Nancy Raynor Is a woman who

“Nobody could be very fond of
that old maid,” Zizi said, in a tone
of pity rather than reproach. “And
It’s her own fault—she’s so prying
