Negro Fiend Makes Start
ling Confession.
ADMITS KILLING II PERSONS
Fanatic Says She Sought In
This Way to Gain
Immortality.
HEADs"CHuRcH OF SACRIFICE"

Lafayette. La, April Acting
on her own amazing confession that
she killed II persons with her own
hands. and directed the killing of 23
more that she might gain immor-
tally by sacrificing human life, a
grand jury will at once return an
indictment against Clementine Bar
nabet, 10 years old, half-blood ne
gress. Furnished with convicing
clews, the authorities. are now in
vestigating one of the most as
founding series Of crimes ever com
mitted.
For weeks past the authorities of
Southwest Louisiana and Southeast
Texas have been completely baffied
by murders of the most brutal de-
scription. Whole families were
slain in their homes, the assailants
invariably using axes and appar-
entity always making the slaughter
a bloody orgy. No less than 40 ne
groes have been murdered in this
manner.
To-day Clementine Barhabet, sus-
Drcted of having been implicated in
he most recent killing. confessed
lat It was she who directed the
slaughter. BY her own admission
rte is the head of n cult known as
he Church of the Sacrifice, "
which IS composed OF negro relig-
,ous fanatics, Who believe that by
taking human life alone they can
reach Immortality.
The cult has no regard for the
law.
1--WE weren't afraid of being ar
rested" said the negress to-day,
because | carried 'voodoo,' which
protected us from all punishment"
From the woman's story it was
apparent that there never was any
motive but fanaticism behind the
murders. The homes of the victims
were seldom robbed, and many Of
the victims we're not known person
ally to the assailants. AS many
women belonged to the cult as men,
and they shared equally with the
men in the sacrifice of human lives.
1t is regarded as significant that
most of the murders were commit
ted on Sunday nights, presumably
after the negroes had worked them
selves into religious frenzy at their
meetings.
1t is believed that the victims
were chosen Unfortunately.
Usually the head OF family |
would be marked for slaughter and
every person found in the house |
when the members of the cult de-
scended upon It would be killed. All
the victims were horribly mutilat-
ed Heads and limbs would be sep
arated from the torsos and strewn
over the house. From the Barna-
bet woman's story it is evident that
whenever every spark of life in the
cottage had been extinguished and |
the degenerates had completed their

Elisha Martin of South Coven- try was in the automobile with Parker and both escaped injury.

It is the best way to get such various ornaments as tin plates, Hooking glasses, ; twine strings, empty barrels, wind-mills, etc., we'll arranged for the crows en- tertainment before the corn sprouts.

The story told above is true in every

Why use face creams if you only off
set their beneficial properties a NOM

skin drying face powders of often
doubtful origin? Powders blow off,
soil your clothes and give your face a
chafed appearance at once indicating
their use.

Being advised to give Doan's Kidney
Pills trial, did so, procuring sup
ply at McRobert's Drug Store. They
helped me from the first and l was soon

The above statement was given March
