TARREO AND FEATHERED.
How Some New Jersey People Served
a had Husband,

New YORK, April 2S-Peter Concamon
lived with his wife and three children in
North Bergen, N j. Although he never
worked he always appeared to have plenty
of money, which, it was learned, was
taken from his wife, who was a hard
working seaniStress About a month
ago the mans wife fell dead over her sewing
machine, and the children said that when the
husband came home he rifed her pockets of
what money was in them, and then continued
his dehauch. The neighbors buried the
woman decently and then took charge of
the children. Abont week ago Concannon
returned to the village with Ann McGonnigh,
with WHOM he went TO live after securing
possession OF his children. The latter
were frequently seen running and crying
from the house, and the neighbors found that
CoHcannon was in the habit of beating them
brutally. On Wednesday night a party Of
citizens, all masked, went to the mans house,
and calling him out took of his clothing, de,
pite his piteona entroaties,: ana while several
soaked lis flesh with tar the others emptie q
bag OF feathers over him, rubbing them IN
well. He was then led to the Hackensack
plank road and told to leave the neighbor-
hood. The masked men returned to the house
and toli the woman that unless she left the
village she would also he tarred and
featheroi, The next day she disappeared
The children are now in the care of wealthy
v!lIG.-nr
