99 people and scattered rail cars
across the track and iiito The
ravine below.
The train plunged off a bridge
and fell about 25 feet into the
• river early Wednesday while en
route from the coastal resort of
Mazatlan to the northern city of
Mexicali, on the border with
Calexico, Calif.
Passenger cars were jumbled
along the tracks like straws.
Some lay on their side in the
river.
Heavy rains Wednesday
hampered efforts to reach vic-
tims, and the search was
suspended during the night, but
the sky cleared Thursday morn-
ing and police, firefighters and
Red Cross workers returned to
the site.
Helicopters landed rescue
workers nearby and casualties
were taken out on railroad hand-
cars.
Officials said at least 107 peo-
ple were injured, including 30
seriously, and that the death toll
was expected to rise.
Torrential rains over the last
week were blamed for the crash.
Rail and rescue officials could
provide no immediate
breakdown on the nationalities
of the victims. Eleven victims
identified Wednesday night were
all Mexicans.
The train, popularly known as
“The Burro” because it stops at
almost every station along the
900-mile route, was patronized
almost entirely by poor Mex-
icans.
The train had gone about 250
miles when the accident oc-
curred" at about 4 a.m. Police
said they did not know how fast
the train was going at the time of
the accident or how many people
were on board.
Most people on the train were
apparently asleep, and the ma-
jority of the victims drowned,
said Javier Lopez, the Red Cross
duty officer in Los Mochis, 60
miles northeast of the crash
scene.
In Mexico City, President
Carlos Salinas de Gortari ex-
pressed his condolences.

Prayer vigil held
for Mickey Leland
WASHINGTON (AP) — With their hands linked and their
hearts heavy, dozens of people gathered Wednesday in inky
darkness at the Capitol to pray Rep. Mickey Leland is found
alive in the forbidden reaches of eastern Africa.
At the nnma time, day was breaking in Ethiopia as the search
for the congressman and his plane, missing since Monday,
entered its third day.
“Tonight we speak with a sense of hope, for it is midnight
here,” said the Rev. Jesse Jackson. “Beyond midnight there is
daylight. And we’ve been taught that weeping may endure for a
night, but hold on and hold out. Joy cometh In the morning.”
Sitting on the marble steps of the Capitol before the hushed
and somber candlelight vigil began, Jackson said he was “hop-
ing and hurting.”
Leland, the chairman of the House Select Committee on
Hunger, was en route from Addis Ababa to a refugee camp near
the Sudanese border when his plane disappeared Monday mor-
ning. Taking off in bad weather, the plane never arrived at its
destination 480 miles away, and the pilot’s last radio contact
was'15 minutes out of the Ethiopian capital.
“We have not had any sign of the plane. There is not the bad
news of the crash, thus there is a margin of hope. We will keep
searching and hoping and do everything we can to reach out to
the family and try to sustain their spirits,” Jackson said.
When he talked with Leland Friday, the Houston Democrat
was in a “great state of ecstasy,” having learned his wife,
Alison, was pregnant with their second child, Jackson said.
“All we do now is hope against hope,” Jackson said in a quiet
voice, the dome of Capitol behind him ivory against the cool
night sky.
“Tonight we cannot hear his voice and yet we can. Tonight we
cannot see his face and yet we can,” Rep. Floyd Flake, D-N. Y.,
told the crowd, which held green florescent “Lightsticks.”
“We pray thee thou would not let his voice go unheard nor let
his pleas go unheeded,” Flake said. “Truly our hearts are
heavy for this brother of ours and they who have gone with
him. ” _ ._———' ' ■ ■ - —:—~
NEW YORK (AP) - Pocket
Books announced it will publish
a paperback on the Mexican cult
murders in April, including an
interview with the “Godmother”
of the bizarre group charged
with killing 15 people.
The book, to be titled, “Across
the Border: The True Story of
the Satanic Cult Murders in
Matamoros, Mexico,” will be
available Sept. 1, the publisher
announced Wednesday.
Author Gary Provost was
commissioned “in response to
the intense public curiosity
about the gruesome Mexican
killings,” the announcement
said.
Fifteen people were killed on a
Matamoros ranch by a drug-
trafficking cult that believed
they would obtain supernatural
protection through the slayings.
One of the victims was Univer-
sity of Texas student Mark
Kilroy, who was kidnapped from
a Matamoros street while he was
on spring break with friends.
The book “will give the inside
story” on the slayings, including
“an exclusive, extensive inter-
view with Sara Maria Aldrete,
the girlfriend of the cult’s alleg-
ed “Godfather,” Alfonso de
Jesus Constanzo, the publisher
said. It will also tell about the
drug smuggling operations of
the group and their bizarre '
ceremonies.
