C2. castecan NEWS, Thursday

For years after Mary Bateman prac-
ticed her particular brand of sorcery in
lorthern Englan , many a child was
‘disciplined with the threatening phrase,
“Go to sleep now, or the Witch of York-
shire will get you. Even today Mary's
name appears on lists of the 10 most evil
women who ever lived.
Born Mary Harker in 1768 at Ainsenby,
close by Thirsk, to a hardworking, law
= abiding farming couple, she didn’t waste
any time letting her parents know that
she was different. By the time Mary was
six, she would lie at the least provocation
and would steal anything she could lay
her hands on, The Harkers talked to their
Mm little girl, but their lectures only seemed
to add fuel to the child’s already smoul-
dering hostility.

had taken its toll, The poor girl died
swearing that Mary Bateman was the
cause of her downfall. No formal susp!-
cion concerning her death was ever cast
upon Mary.

Once the Witch of Yorkshire had tasted
the fruits of the witchcraft business, she
realized she had found her niche. We will
never know how many frauds she perpe-
trated on the simple minded and weak
spirited, but the score might very well
exceed 100.

Threé Quaker ladies, a mother and two
daughters, were the next to fall under
Mary’s influence. The two sisters, the
Misses Kitchen, owned a drapery shop in
the heart of Leeds, Once Mary ingratiat-
ed herself with the sisters, she began
demonstrating her various skills to thi

convinced that their daughter was a bad
seed, saw to It that she was placed as a
servant in a good home in Thirsk. For the
next eight years Mary got into minor
scrapes, but by continually moving from
place to place, she managed to stay
out of the grasp of the law.

When she went to Leeds, the largest

conn realized he had a,tiger by the tail.
The pair had to keep moving to stay a
step ahead of the law. When Mary told
him of her plans to become a fortune
teller, John ed it was time to pull up
stakes and bid adieu to his true love. He
left Mary and joined the army.
Mary returned to Leeds, and in 1799 we
find her actively engaged as a fortune

charms. It was a meagre living and not
exactly what Mary had in mind. a
keen observer of human nature, and with
a growing confidence in her own ability,
Mary realized that, ‘piven the right vic-
tims, she could: graduate to bigger and

foods, in return for a charm guaranteed to
eep the man of the house out of direct
contact. with the other woman.

Word spread about the supernatural
powers of the Witch of Yorkshire. When a
young girl, a relative of Mrs. Stead’s,
came to Leeds several months pregnant
but without a husband, Mary said never
fear, she would cast a spell on the im-

pregnator of the young girl. The spell.

would bring him begging for the young
lady's hand in marriage.

Asmall sum was, of course, required to
take care of incidentals. Once this vulgar
formality was taken care of, Mary cast
her spell. Still, the stubborn lover did not
appear on bended knees. Instead, the
young lady’s condition grew more acute
with each passing day. More spells were
needed. Each required cash payments.
Mary bled the poor girl dry, but was
unable to produce the desired results.

In desperation Mary fed the simple girl
some medicine and managed to induce an

ible ladies that she really possessed cer-
tain mysterious powers. As time went on
they came to belleve that she actually

After Mrs. Perigo was laid to rest,
Mary continued to fleece the bereaved
husband. She hinted at the. resurrec-
tion of Mrs. Perigo and, incredible as it
appears to us now, Mr. Perigo continued
to pay to keep the charm alive. At the
expiration of the 18 months Mr. Perigo
thought there would be no harm in taking
