Mrs, Lord Forced to Mortgage
Her Household Goods to
Leave Bridgeport.

her recently, has had to mortgage her

~ filed in the town clerks office this
morning a chattel mortgage In the
sum of SIS on a number Of articles,
including piano and stool. desk and
chairs, four pictures. typewriter,
dressing table, Singer sewing machine,
table silverware and box
II was reported to-day that Mrs.
Lord had left the city and that she
had mortgaged her effects with which
to procure funds. The same report
had 1t that she would join Cameron,
who left the city Tuesday afternoon
following a reported attempt to lynch
him at Seaside Park few nights be-
fore.
Cameron had become familiar
figure on the streets, and the city was
getting too dangerous a place for him
to reside He felt uncomfortable and
unsafe, as we'll and his hasty depart
ure Is said to have been caused by a
fear of violence
Mrs. Lord also became well known
and she was pointed out by many per-
sons as the woman who had lost q
luxurious home through regard for a
colored servant 1t was uncomfort-
able for her as well. An unsuccessful
effort was made to-day TO locate Mrs,
Lord, but she was not to be found.
A year ago she had wardrobe Of
stylish clothes, horses, coachman,
luxurious home and all that a woman
could wish for. Since her divorce she
has been thrown upon her own re-
sources and has experienced adversely
for the first time IN her life.
The departure of Mrs. Lord is be-
lieved to he the closing chapter, local
