DIPPED IN VAT OF TAR
Brutal Treatment Accorded an

Victim Was Taken From Her Home,
showered With Blows and Kick Up.

Of the Town Being Turned Out, Il
Is Alleged by Village officials
State viii Investigate Outrage.
Never has Worcester county, Md,
been more stirred than it is over the
action of a gang of thugs, who, claim
ing official protection, dragged Mary
Holman, an unprotected woman from
her home in Ocean City, Md, showered
blows and kicks upon her face and
limbs and concluded their perform
ance by dipping her into a vat of tar
III the presence of her l1-year-old son,
who struggled to prevent the outrage.
Terrorlzed by her experience, the
woman has quit the town. She is
now being sheltered by Tom" Jones,
a negro, who lives out in the country
three miles.
One Of the most startling features
Of the incident is the fact that the
towns lights were out when the as
sault was committed Mrs. Holman
SAYS the switch was turned through
the connivance of town officials.
However this may be, the men
guilty Of the outrage boasted while
they were subjecting her TO the in.
dignities that their act had the sane
tion of the town council. Since then
the boast has been repeated by them.
Although the officials of Worcester
county seem to have given evidence
that they would be perfectly willing
to have the whole incident blow over
without taking action, they have at
last realized that this cannot be done.
Sheriff Hanson, acting under in
structions of State Attorney Johnson,
visited Mrs. Holman at the Jones
home where it was arranged that she
should be taken under protection to
Snow Hill, the county seat. She de-
mands an investigation saying she is
the victim of defamatory gossip as
well as a most brutal assault.
Mrs. Holman says the men who
assaulted her were fishermen. She
was known in the community as Red
Light" and resentment was aroused
against her because OF the charge
that was made that she harbored col
ored men. She declares there is abb
solutely no truth in the reports and
maintains that the offensive epithet
applied to her is entirely uniustifed
