In the Eyes of 'ms‘ Ignorant. Follows no
In Pas-cued of Divine Attributes and
Under-tonal the Mystery
of Life.
About the close of the war a power-
‘ fully-built negro calling himself Elisha.
Broadeaux made his appearance in the
vicinity of Russellville, Ky. 5 At that
' time, says the St. Louis'Globe-Demo-
crat, he appeared to be about'seventy
years old, though vigorous as a. mule.
He established himself in the small
log but which he has occupied contin-
uously since.‘ The new arrival imme-
diately became a man of prominence in
a peculiar way among the negroes of
this entire section: of the country.
They were unable to pronounce the
old negro’s name.and it was corrupted
into “ ’Lige Broad Ax.” Before the
old man had resided in the ayicinity a.
year miraculous powerswere attrib-
uted to .him by‘the ignorant negroes.
A few of the colored people were too
intelligent’tobe :deceived, but his in-
fluence —- with the majority .was so
great that-those- better informed were
not anxious to assert:their skepticism.
To some ’LigeBroad Ax was a voodoo
doctor and controlled life and death;
to others he~ was the high priest of
black magic and in league with the
devil, communing at will with demons
and departed spirits. To all his race,
with few exceptions, he avas the ‘em-
bodiment of good “and evil as he-pre-
ferred to exercise his influence,.nnd a
terror- generally. Even to. the :white
population V“Unc1c_’Lige,"-’ as he was
commonly. known, was. always. an
enigma. In their presence he was
universally polite and humble, though
among his colored acquaintances ar-
rogant and commanding. To the white
children the aged negro was never
known to, be otherwise than kind,
though the fear he inspired among the
negroes by his reputation as a voodoo
doctor was shared in an exaggerated
form by them. He was known to do a
heavy. trafiic in charms, amulets, etc.,
among the negroes. The purchase was
supposed to carry good luck or impart
misfortune, as the 'old voodoo priest
dictated. , They did not doubt his power
to “trick” anyone who hadincurred
his displeasure, though when ques-
tioned by a. white person asto the
miraculous powers. attributed to him
by the negroes the old negro always
hastily denied such- claims and vehe-
mently protested that they were merely
the inventions of his enemies. To the
negroes, however, old ’Lige would do-
ny that he had ever told the “white
folks” that he was not a high priest of
voodooism, possessed of divine attri-
butes and familiar with the mystery
of human existence.
For the past quarter of a century the
locality has been disturbed periodically
by accusations against the . old wizard
by members of his race who believed
that they had been placed under a.
“spell” for some fancied slight or be-
cause he was paid. to do so by their
enemy. These complaints were of
various forms. In one case the victim
of the old negro’s pretensions alleged
that he had forced ._him to swallow a.
piece of corn knife in his sleep. He
could feel the point cutting its way
through his flesh. He was examined
by physicians and appeared to be suf-
fering all the tormen‘ts incident to - the
introduction of a. metallic substance in
the human stomach. . After lingering
several days in awful delirium, in
which he repeatedly claimed that he
had been “tricked” by old ’Lige Broad
Ax, the victim died. A post-mortem
investigation was made. The stomach
was frightfully swollen and‘ inflamed,
but if, as was believed, the negro had
been poisoned, the drug used was so
subtle as to defy surgical skill to de-
tect its presence. This only served to
convince the negroes more thoroughly
of the voodoo doctor’s" knowledge of
the black art. -
The old voodoo doctor’s influence
among the negroes of southern Ken-
'tucky has increased of late years. This
is partially attributed to the fact that
though he has resided here more than
a quarter of a century, he has not per-‘-
ceptibly aged since that time. He is
almost as vigorous now as when he
made his appearance in this locality.
The best authorities agree that. the
old negro is more than one hundred
years old. He is not positive as to his
age. Familiarity with, events early in
the present century indicates that he
was probably born in the last decade
of the eighteenth century. He was
brought to New Orleans in 1809 by a.
French planter who left Cuba.‘ at the.
outbreak of the war between France
and Spain. The old voodoo priest pre-
fers to be silent on this subject, as he
desires to impress his race with the
fact of his great age. - He declares
that he is one hundred and forty years
of age. and that he will never die. hav-‘
ing discovered the elixir of immortal-
ity. Many of these negroes assert
that the secret of his longevity is that
he occasionally takes the form of a.
vampire and repairs his shattered
constitution with the blood of his
younger victims. The power of old
’Lige to inhabit the body of animals at
will is not questioned by many of
' those under his influence.
