Lafayette, La, April 2.-Clementine
Barnabet, a half blood negress, told
a story here today that the police au-
thorities say they accept as clearing
the mystery yelling the killing OF
twenty negroes in southwestern Louis
lana and which it is said gave clues
that will fix the guilt for fifteen other
night assassinations of blacks in
Louisiana and Texas.
From Clementine' story, it appears
she led mysterious negro cult, the
members of which performed the
rites of human sacrifice The ne
gress declared she killed seventeen
of the victims with her own hands.
Murdered Thirty-Five.
Lafayette, La, April 2.-The police
declare Clementine told her story OF
wholesale slaughter with no apparent
apprehension that the taking of hT-
man life was crime.
Without reservation, she told he
part in the thlrty-five assassinations
but declined to reveal the names of
numerous members of the cult that
helped her.
The murders have been committed
in the last year. AS one series of kill
ings was added to another, in differ
ent towns of southwestern Louisiana
and southeastern Texas, the authori-
ties concluded one mind directed all.
Today the negress confessed she was
the directing head of the cult that is
known as the Church of the Sacri-
flee" which has for its feature creed
the belief that by life sacrifice alone
may a person gain immortality.
Had a Voodoo.
| Before engaging in any of these
crimes, Clementine armed herself
with a "Voodoo' which she got from
preacher, and which she and other
would protect them from the law.
While the exact reason Tor the El'lr-
| ders is not explained to the satisfac-
| ton of the authorities, it is believed,
/ Clementine and her companions were
degenerates and that their weakened
| brains evidently were affected by the
eXhortations they had heard in the
! Church of the Sacrifice" The grand
jury, it is said, will indict the woman
Immediately.

clinton, Aug. 15.-That Clinton Is to
have another railroad terminal here
Is evidenced thru the filing in Chi
cago of first mortgage gold bond
Issue for 100000 on the Iowa North
ern railway, the mortgage being for
the purpose Of providing funds for the
construction Of 100 miles Of main line
from Turkey River junction thru the
towns Of Luxembourg, Farley, Cascade
and Maquoketa, south to Clinton. The
company's charter requires amending
to conform to the ccw bond issue and
the changing Of the southern terminal
from Bellevue to Clinton.
Important Project.
All appearances, say Chicago dis
patches, point to this movement as
being one of the most important rail-
road projects on foot In recent years
in Iowa, from the standpoint of rail-
road strategy, in that it will cross
, and recrosS the lines Of a large num-
Der of other transcontinental railroads.
AS a result Clinton will be placed in
railroad communication with num-
Der of towns with which there is now
no rail connection and railroad SER
vice will be given several towns to
the north and northwest, now with
out that convenience.
At Turkey River Junction, north of
Dubuque, the new line will connect
with the Milwaukee railways north
and south line. Luxembourg is with
out railroad srvice. At Farley, the
line will cross the Chicago Great
Western and the Illinois Central rail-
roads. At Cascade. it will meet
branch Of the Milwaukee railway and
ut Maauoketa 1t will connect with
the Northwestern railways Midland
branch and the Milwaukee railway
branch. At Clinton the Line will have
connections with the Northwestern,
Milwaukee. Burlington and Rock Is
land railways.
