Girl Killed 2l People;
Gets Sentence
Negro girl must Serve Life
time in Prison; Wholesale
Murders Spread Terror;
COnfesses awful Crimes

Lafayette, La, Oct. 28.-
Clementine Barnabet, who mur-
dered more than 20 persons, ac-
cording to her own confession,
was found guilty of murder to-
day. The verdict calls for life
Imprisonment. When the jury
delivered it's verdict the negress
was as Indifferent as at any other
time during the trial. She said
she expected more severe punish
ment.
The girl was tried for the Kill
ling of Mrs. Norbert Randall
last November and the evidence
showed that she was not guilty
of this crime, but that she had
put Il other members of her race
to death.
Her confession as presented to
the jury declared that she COM
menced her crimes at Rayne,
where she killed a woman and
three children. From there she
came to Lafayette, putting the
Andrus family to death, helping
to prepare the bodies for burial
and attending the funerals. Next
she went in to the Randall home
by night and slaughtered Mrs.
Randall and five other members
of the family. The girl used an
ak in committing these crimes
and carried about with her tails
man or "voodoo' which she be-
lieved rendered her impervious
to harm.
The wholesale murders spread
terror among the negroes. Glenn
entine's conviction therefore was
a relief to the majority of them:
in fact it is said that if the jury
had not found her guilty, it is
likely the negroes would have
taken the law into their own
hands and lynched her.

Great Gold Camp Near
Benson, AriZ.

That there is great gold
camp down the San Pedro river,
northwest of Benson, Ariz.,
seems now to be an acknowledged
fact. Tere was no putting about
it's discovery and no effort to
boom it. Like Topsy, it simply
"growed. " This is it's history: 1t
is only about Is miles from Ben
son, on the Ell Paso & South
western railroads. A gold field it
is, and SIDE by side with it there
are some of the finest copper and
gold showings to be seen any
where.
The camp is new. At least it
may be described as new discov-
Duncan Arizonian., 1912-11-06

and so tight that the figure is
boldly displayed at every step
with the highest heeled shoes
obtainable and stockings of the
thinnest and sometimes the
brightest silk, our girls present
an outlandish and improper spec
tacle. What has come to be a
common street sight today would
not have been tolerated ten years
ago, and, as Miss Mary M. Bart
cline, assistant to the judge Of
Chicago's juvenile court, has
said, the styles are growing
worse and worse each year.
When a girl dresses in this way,
says Miss Bartelme, 1T is her
fault. The old-fashion-
ed mother who was content with
simple gowns and frocks. would
not tolerate such attire on her
daughter. The old fashioned
mother is sadly needed now to
effect a radical dress reform. .

Can't Kiss Wife on train in
Bavaria

Is kissing on the train a matter
of personal privilege or has the
railroad a right to prohibit it?
The Bavarian railway system
has entered an order forbidding
passengers from kissing on it's
trains, platforms or station prop
erty, under penalty of arrest and
prose cution on charges OF distur-
bance. Los Angeles passenger
officials unhesitatingly condemn
the ruling, which is causing COM
ment all over the world among
railway and steamship officials.
The case which caused the revo-
lutionary ruling in Bavaria was
a simple one. A man and wife
were riding in a fIrst-class carri-
age. She being tired, put her
head on his shoulder. He put his
arm around her. There were
several spinsters among the other
passengers. They complained to
the conductor that the passenger
kissed his wife in public. The
conductor was a batchelor. He
spoke to the couple about the com
plant.
The man stood firmly on his
rights to kiss his wife. She stood
as firmly by him in the contro-
versy. She even added that it was
too bad, that some women had no
husbands to kiss them and said
she thought it was the height of
impertinence for a railway Off
cial to interfere when married
people wished to kiss each other
on a railway journey. The affair
was duly reported to the directors
of the road and a prohibitive
order was issued.
There is too much interfere
ance with personal liberty nova
days, and although such a law
might work in Bavaria, am
shure Americans would never
stand for it," said the assistant
passenger traffic manager of the
Santa Fe in Los Angeles. 1T is
ridiculous.
