Taylor told Judge Noble that he had been sick from last Sejptem : &r until January of this year and his wife had told him that it was possible that he had been “hexed" by her Aunt Julia, who had some thing of a reputation in that de partment. Sgt. Taylor told Judge Noble fur ther that he did not strike Ajint Julia, but had merely warned her of what he would do to her if she put a “hex” on either he or his wife. Two Marine Corps officers who had escorted Sgt. Taylor to the trial set quietly as their non-com missioned officer told Judge No ble that he certainly did believe in “voodoo.” After hearing the testimony at some length Judge Noble took the legal “hex” off Sgt. Taylor by find ing him not guilty of assault upon Aunt Julia.
