Dey claim dat a person yo' know could take a black cat, see, without havin' any spots on him atall - let him be a solid black cat, yo' see. An' put chew on a pot of water yo' see, an' dump dat cat in dere alive yo' see, an' scald 'im dat way. An' dey tell me dere's a certain bone yo' know is in dat cat. Yo' see, yo' take all dem bones yo' know, an' yo' go to a runnin' stream yo' know, where it's good an' clear - yo' know, where yo' kin see yo' know, de surface of de bottom. An' throw all dem bones in dere an' watch 'em, an' dey tell me de swiftest one yo' know, dat moves about, say if yo' kin git aholt of dat, dey tell me yo' kin do all kind of witch- craft dat way, yo' know. Yo' take dat bone yo' know an' git outa sight of people yo' see, an' go in any kind of places dat chew wanta go in.[ Waycross, Ga.,
(1069), 1730:1.]
