"?tr culprit aoout ivuss iviary v,ua,uiuc:i!ain whom masked men and hoys tarred and feathered on a lonely road at Shady Bend, near here, a few nights ago. A correspondent visited Miss Chamberlain at her father's home on the outskirts of Beverly. The girl is pretty, slight of figure, gentle, refined in manner; it seems incredible that members of the best families of, Lincoln county, now in jail or under bonds, could have been guilty of the cowardly act to affright and humiliate' her. It is a ccJmmon report at Shady Bend that prominent women incited the attack on Miss Chamberlain by falsely informing their husbands,! brothers and sons that she had told malicious lies about them. "If those accused of the wretched assault are guilty," said Miss Chamberlain, in a calm tone, "they are men and boys who have known me for years and who pretend to be 'my friends. Not a hint of prejudice j came to me in Shady Bend before the attack on me. , "After the assault I had no suspicion of the motive for it until I asked the man who had tricked me into driving with him that night. Even now I cannot understand it, for I never have been guilty of any act that I need be ashamed of or that might make me an undesirable person in any community." Edward Ricard asked Miss Chamberlain' to go driving with him. He was arrested, gave bond, got out of Shady Bend, was arrested again and is in the county jail. It is said he told friends he was paid $500 for his part in the conspiracy. . So horrified was she that Miss Chamberlain cannot clearly describe the shameful scene'when her assailants partly undressed her and tarred and feathered her. v "After the masked men appeared and seized me I was so frightened that I can't recall much else," she said. "My recollection is that I screamed and called for Ed Ricard to come to my aid. I do not ire me mhAr hr?w T er>t hank in the buefiTV nor | much of. my return to my boarding house. I did not recognize the masked men." To prove her spirit is not broken, Miss Chamberlain asserts that she expects to return to Shady Bend and resume her position as clerk in L. V. Green's store.
