Wennpuun iy SOLVE MYSTERY OF - “COTTON HILL” WITCH (By United Press) Springfield, Ill., Sept. 9.—Sangamon county’s big witch mystery was declared sglved today. Authorities reported that the phan- tom, white-robed figure that has been striking fear nightly to the hearts of motorists on the “Cotton Hill” road, is that of a country girl, who is “partly out of her head.” Under this explanation the dram- atic actions of the ‘“Cotton Hill Witch” who has sent scores of badly “seared” motorists speeding to this city with reports to the pdlioce, be- come only the caprices of a farm girl. The figure appears almost nightly near midnight. Motorists passing “Cotton 'Hjill” suddehly find their path blocked by a white figure astride a wiite horse and carrying aloft a long rod. “Danger lies ahead—turn back!"” the figure cries, then whirls and dashes off into the night. Motorists, thus confronted, prompt- ly attain a degree of fright which brings them dashing back to Spring- field. i The authorities doubted these istories at first, but finally decided to investigate. Sheriff’'s deputies drove to “Cotton Hill,” were confronted by the white figure and followed it, they say, to a farm house where they learned the mysterious person jwas a young girl. They did not mo- lest her, and will not, they say, un- less some real harm comes from her practice. ‘/It’s* hei® play—Ilet her have it,” is the view the investiga- tors took.
