fifty farmhands, all foreigners, armed
with pitchforks n similar weapons,
held up the automobile of Mrs. Abra-

OF a wagon-load of tomatoes that had
been spilled upon the ground by a rum
away team frightened by the Whitley
machine.
In vain Mrs. Whitley tried to reason
with them. Every effort to crank the
machine and start was the signal for
a demonstration. Four young women
who accompanied her became hysteri-
cal in the lonely road with darkness
coming on, as the remarks of the crowd
became coarse.
Another automobile passing, Mrs.

chine II at full speed to Hackensack.
U~ndersheriff Heath and Detective
Blauvelt accompanied her to where
her car was, still surrounded, and the
crowd was threatening to jab pitch
forks through the tires unless some-
thing was lone about the. payment
for the vegetables.
The u~ndersheriff and detective tried
to persuade the crowd that if there
was any case against Mrs. Whitley
the remedy was through the law. and
not by violence. The show Of force
made by the two officers of the law
with revolvers nae no effect for a
time.
Using the telephone of $. b. Garri-
son, who lives nearby. word was sent
to Sheriff Conklin for more help.
Whether il was the knowledge more
deputy sheriffs had been called that
was responsible for the crowd weaken
ing in its attitude is not known, but
soon after Undersheriff Heath sue
in getting those who were hold
ing to the machine to let go.
