HENDERSON CONJURED
Negro Evangelist Fined in
Felice Court Today
He Savw He's An Evangelist, Rut He
ciwore Last Xighc Wears All
Worts of Trinkets Which Girls Give
Him He Gets 30 Days.
In spite of the fact that J. H. Hen
derson's wife 'positively . declared that
he was so conjured and upset that he
could nut stand work. Justice Badger
tills morning fined Henderson 18. li, or
gave him thirty days on the loads.
Why Justice Badger Imposed this pen-
alty Is a short story Henderson was
arrested for disorderly conduct last
night In that he swore fearfully.
J. II. Henderson, colored, Is an evan
gelist preacher. He returned to Ral
elgh three days ago from Baltimore.
Klnky-halrcd, round-headed,. ' mahog
any colored, squat und heavy, he is a
lion among ladles who have pinned to
his blue 'varsity sweater all sorts of
trlnklets. which he declares are in
signia of the Lord. His wife believes
he is conjured, and when asked If she
did not think about thirty days would
act us an antidote, declared that only
a fortune teller could drive away the
spell.
" On his !u sweater, girded by a
bell, Henderson hud pinned a hat, a
cap, a blue checked hand kerchief, u
glided pipe, a cross of honor and a
Variety of other trlnklets. He wore
an Iron ring on his right arm and three
pcuter rings on his fingers.
Tomorrow Henderson he did nut tell
his given name has a date to go out
Into the highways and hedges to
preach the gospel, but he will not go.
Monday, however, he will go out on
the highways and wheel dirt.
As Henderson was led downstairs he
tore from his bosom the harp of
David and handed It to his wife. Pro
testing that he was a good worker and
that he could carry a hod filled with
slxtoon bricks up a three story gang
way without panting, he disappeared
through the door.
