disposed to abandon the new policy
of putting the motor cycle men out in
civilian garb on certain days
The Commissioner said Maj Sullf-

MANY INDICTMENTS
STIR MYERSV|LLE
Tar-and-Feather Probe Has
Sensational Turn as News
Reaches Public.
BY a Star Corresnondent.


FREDERICK, Md. September 90
A score of special deputy sheriffs are
securing the mountain country west
of here for eleven men and women
who have been indicted by the Fred
erick County grand jury in connection
with the tarring and feathering of
pretty Dorothy Grandon at Myers
Vile last July.
These persons are to be taken be-
fore Chief Judge Urner in Circuit
Court here and charged with crimes
ranging from felonious assault down
to violating the State riot law. Nine
persons originally held are Mrs.
Mary Shank, who admitted last July
that she had applied tar and feathers
! to Miss Grandon; Roma Shank, her
fatherinlaw; Calvin Shank, Alvin,
Arthur and Irving Rice, Harry Leath-
erman, Paul GrossniCkle and Grayson
Doub.
1t was originally planned to have
the grand jury submit its report
Monday morning and every effort
was made to keep secret the result
of its findings. News of the latest
| indictment leaked out, however, and
| the deputy sheriffs were hurried to
| Myersville section to round up the
! alleged offenders this morning before
where their arrest could be accom-
| plished only under the greatest diff
| culties.
Countryside Is Stirred.
! The entire Myersville section.
! which is in the mountains between
| here and Hagerstown, is wrought up
! over the stern measures the State 5
attorney is adopting to avenge the
| attack on Miss Grandon. Evidence
| has been found, it is said, indicatin &
| that the tarring and feathering of
| the girl really resulted from her con-
tinued refusal to accept the unwel-
| come attentions that group of
young men attempted to press upon
| her.
States Attorney Storm has an
| nounced his intentions to prosecute
| the principals to the utmost, and de-
| clared that he already has sufficient
| evidence to send a number of those
| indicted to Jail for from to 20 years
1t is believed that the special dep
uty sheriffs will have completed their
| hunt some time this afternoon, and
| Chief Judge Urner is holding himself
in readiness to give the prisoners an
| opportunity of posting bail imme-
diately after they are brought before
him. Hearings will not take place
until Monday morning.

the consent of the South Manchurian n
