This is the last episode of the series; and we follow the axe to its last swing. Or perhaps, just to a another murder?

The axe whispered first in Seguin—and the rails carried its echo.

We are getting closer to the beginning, which in our case should point towards the end. In this episode we go all the way back to a potential beginning, where we listen to a possible first whisper from the axe.

Between 1911 and 1912 nearly 50 souls were taken by the axe-man. The number of death's forced action by the government, and in the fall of 1911, Clementine Barnabet was arrested. In this episode we look at the one suspect who actually got scentenced for the spree of murders. Was she guilty?

For a while, it seemed like the killer went everywhere all at once. One day a family wiped out in Monmouth, and a week later, the murders in Colorado Springa. About 1400 km away. He is never seen covered in blood, he never let's a drunken confession slip out. In this episode, we stop the train, to dig where we stand.

In this episode we take the train back to 1911 and the horrendous murders in Colorado Springs. We also pass by the rail junction of Seguin, Texas; where a disharmonious hum is detected.

In this episode we follow the expanding railway as it stretches out like iron veins over the American body of land. Disrupting the axis of time, as with modernity, both progress and danger follow. We begin tracing the journey of evil, back across the American heartland. This time the tracks lead to Villisca, a town where traditions and values of old, are held in high regard.

The podcast series "Decades Of The Axe", will bring you along as we travel on the early American railway, and eventually, crossing The Atlantic by ship. We are looking for what might have been one of America's earliest and most frightening serial killer, and we do this to the tunes of music, written especially for the podcast. The podcast is also accompanied with an album by the same name, downloadable from any music platform under the artist name: OddBeauty.
