TARRED & FEATHERED
TREATMENT OF SOCIETY WRITER IN VIRGINIA. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. WASHINGTON. June'2s. Because they objected to some of his items, a group described as aristocratic Virginian sportsmen kidnapped Count Igor Cassini, a society columnist, and drove to a backwoods road, where they stripped him, smeared two tins of tar and emptied a box of feathers over him and turned him loose. Count Cassini was taken to hospital bruised and suffering from shock. Doctors worked on him for three hours with kerosene and ether.
Count Cassini, who is a grandson of a former Russian Ambassador to the United States, is demanding the men’s arrest on a kidnapping charge. The Virginian penalty for kidnapping is death.
