She took his hands in hers, rubbed them, saying, “These parts will give you no more trouble. She gripped his elbows, rubbing them, and repeating the words, then his shoulders, then his ribs, a nice little ceremony for each part, soaked his feet in salt water, then she joined Google her husband and drove away. A little later, D. Browning drove up to Rickey's house to see about buying a horse. Rickey told him, "I have just found my billfold is missing from my hip pocket. It had $260.00 in it.

The gypsies fled in their car. This was disastrous as it gave Browning a chance to overtake them at Smartville in a road blook. They were arrested. The woman had on four or five dresses and $400.00. Other gypsies showed up at the jail. Healing by laying on the hands ended114
