...dismembered bodies were found. In that barn the police also found a crude altar of stones and seashells, a hideous statue of the Goddess Chango, and 28 half-crazed Negroes, two of them with bloody robes and blunt stone axes. The most intelligible of the prisoners, one Jose Delgado, described what had happened...
