Daily Times [Leavenworth, KS], September 20, 1860
One night last week a number of citizens of Romulus, Mich., took from her bed a woman whom they charged with immoral and cruel conduct, tarred and feathered her, and rode her on a rail! She was living with a man in whose family she formerly resided as a domestic, and whose wife being dead, she is alleged to have cruelly treated her orphan children. She recognized a number of her assailants, and thirty-nine have been arrested.
