About my cousin, my grandmother told me that - that's been round about twelve years ago, ten or twelve years ago. (Here - here in Vicksburg?) No, sir, that was in - up here in Shelby, Mississippi. (Shelbv, Mississippi.) Yes, sir, and she'd taken sick. Well, she and a lady friend was living together. Well, you see, she didn't know this girl had no grudge agin her; in fact, she could have did it for someone else, you see, got it for someone else. Well, she's a very beautiful girl and lotsa people liked her and some disliked her, you understand. Well, she was - dis lavatory was a good piece from de house and she would do what she was going to do in de house and take it out. So one day she did it and she didn't take it out except de girl did, and got part of it and stopped it up in a bottle, and so she'd taken sick from it. So, well, they never did take it to no two-headed person to find out what it was about; she went to a medical doctor. But her bowels was tied up - she could not do anything. And this bottle - after she was dead my grandmother saw [two- headed person] concerning of it. And she was told to go to her back steps, up under a board she had going to her lavatory, that bottle was buried with some of her in it; and say, when that stopper blew out, that's de cause her death.
(I see.)
So she died. They never did find it out till after she was dead.
