GROUP TAR CASES
TO SPEED JUSTICE
Frederick Court to Arraign II
Defendants at Once, FOL-
lowing Rice Conviction.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

FREDERICK, Md. October 1G-
Following the conviction late yes
terday of Arthur Rice, second of 19
cen to face trial for aiding Mrs.
Mary Shank in tarring and feather
ing Miss Dorothy Grandon at Myers
vile, Md, last July, conferences
were held this morning and it was
decided that jury trials would be dis
pensed with. No statement was given
to the public, but the inference was
generally drawn that the remaining
defendants, who have been notified to
appear in court tomorrow, would
either be tried together or would
plead guilty and accept minimum sem
tences
The case of Alvin Rice. brother of
yesterdays defendant. was to have
been called. and Sheriff Albaush has
summoned the venire from which
jury was to have been drawn today.
But the States attorney, defense
counsel and judge conferred and the
summonses for veniremen were
called off. Another conference was
held and the decision was reached
which resulted in adjournment of
court for the day.
WOman'x Story UnShaken.
Mrs. Mary Shank pleaded guilty at
the opening of the trials three weeks
ago, charging that the men under in
dictment. including some of the most
prominent citizens of Myersville, had
urged her to make the attack and
threatened bodily harm if she refused
to avenge herself upon the women
accused of receiving the attentions of
her husband. Her sentence was de-
ferred, and the case of Harry Leath-
erman, said to have been the man
who carried the tar bucket and
feathers, was called. Leatherman de-
MED any knowledge of the plans laid
for the tarring or any part in the af-
fair, except as a casual onlooker, but
the jury found him guilty, and the
case of Rice was called. The pro-
cedure was very much the same as in
the Leatherman case, in which sem
tence also was deferred pending dis
position of the other cases. Many
witnesses were on hand to tell of the
good character of the indicted MEN,
preachers, bankers and farmers being
among those heard.
Convicted Men Prominent.
Both Leatherman and Rice were
church members and stood high in
their community, the court was told.
The Rice jury deliberated but a short
time when the verdict Of guilty was
returned. Rice had testified that he
was driving past the scene of the at
tack with several companions, follow
ing long sick spell, when he stopped
his auto to witness the scene. He said
he had nothing to do with the case.
Mrs. Shank, who accused the men
individually, was on hand in each case,
to tell her story over and over, and
Miss Grandon. the victim, who has
been held in Jail as material wit
ness, appeared each time, with some
of her tattered garments in evidence.
There was no surprise when the jury
trials were called off today. 1t is be-
lieved that an end will be brought
to the case promptly, and that Miss
Grandon will soon have her liberty,
greatly appeased by the firmness of
the court.
