In 1933, the small village of Saline, Louisiana, had what newspapers described as the "Saline Slashing."  At a predetermined time, several conspirators drew knives and attacked around 500 helpless victims.  Sheriff Henderson Jordan (pronounced Jerdan), a member of the posse who put an end to the crime spree of Bonnie and Clyde, compared the incident to the murders committed by England's Jack the Ripper.  There is even a tie-in with our longest-serving president Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Hear the true story here.
