Turns Out To Be Only Hoax
' LOS ANGELES (UPD-A man,
his wife and the woman they are
accused of tarring and feathering
in an elaborate hoax "to stir up a
racial incident" were in police
custody today on charges of arson
and conspiracy.
llrs. Katherine Harwell, K. in
serious condition at General Hos
pital with severe bums ehe suf
fered when she was left tarred
and feathered in a burning house.
confessed the hoax Thursday and
implicated Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Lewis of suburban Walnut.
Firemen rescued Mrs. Harwell
from the burning Lewis house
Tuesday night At the time, she
toid investigators that three white
men had burst into the house, ap
plied tar and feathers, bound her
and set the place ablaze. She said
the men, whom she did not rec
ognize, called her a "nigcer
lover" and tore olf her outer
garments.
Mrs. Harwell said Thursday she
permitted the Lewis couple to ap
ply tar and feathers to her body.
All three were booked Thursday
night on the arson and conspiracy
charges.
Although the Lewis couple re
fused to discuss the incident,
sheriff's investigators theorized
Lewis, 38, had thought he could
gel a previous condemnation of
the hm:se rescinded by creating
a "racial incident.

Acclaimed by
"TIME" & "LIFE"
"Inn La Douce'' is totally frank, 'wildly comic, and
honestly romantic. Director Billy Wilder lays on his
slapstick villi a trowel but it is still one of the most
talented trowels in Hollywood. Jack Lemmon's per
fnrmance is brilliantly funny.""
Lie Mag.
"A very funny motion picture. Shirley MscLaine is
an adorable galliwog, perfect foil for the bumbling
Lemmnn. IRMA'i sexiness is played for belly laughs,
not snickers."

Auto Mishap
Injures Two
Two people were in satisfacto
ry condition at the Klamath Val
ley Hospital today as the result
of injuries tliey received in
one-cor accident on Highway 97,
near Wocus, about 3 o'clock this
morning. Oregon State Police
reported.
The injured were Dcmorle Jo
seph Fitzpatrk-k, 23. Whittier,
Calif , w ho was admitted to sur
gery about 9 a m. with lacera
tions and a dislocated hip, and
Mrs. Joy Ann Crume, 21. Box
212, Chiloquin. The extent of Mrs
Crume's injuries have yet to be
determined, a hospital spokesman
said.
The accident occurred as the
car was southbound along High
way 97, near Milepost 2fi9. It
went out of control, veered along
a ditch bank and into a gravel
pit, and went over an embank
ment: finally coming lo a stop
upside down about 53(1 feet from
where it left the highway.
Fitzpatnck was pinned in the
automobile and remained there
until Mrs. Crume, apparently
thrown clear of the wreckage,
went to the highway and s u m-
moned assistance from a passing
motorist. The vehicle was re
moved from the scene by a local
towlne company and its two oc
cupants were transferred to Klam
ath Valley Hospital by Peace
Ambulance.
Firemen Quell
Fire Near Park
City firemen were called Thurs
day afternoon to two grass fires
one of which briefly threatened to
spread into Moore Park.
The city's new four-wheel-drive
fire truck responded to both calls
The first fire was at 12:03 p.m
in the 45no mock ot my street.
Firemen battled flames in grass
near the lake for an hour be
fore bringing them under con
trol. At 6.53, firemen went lo a field
off Lakeshore Drive. A fire had
started in grass behind the Mari
on Ziegler home and was spread
ing toward the park before it
was stopped by tho fire-fighters.

woman tarred and feathered and apparently left to die
in a flaming house is shown here as she tells newsmen that
her "torture" actually was part of a hoax to stir up racial
incident. Still in serious condition, Mrs. Harwell had
originally said three men tore off her outer garments, tied
her and smeared tar and feathers over her. She almost
lost her life when a prearranged plan to call the fire de
partment did not attract firemen as soon as she expected.

state's payments for the care of
the elderly patients were not
enough to cover costs.
Polk County Welfare Adminis
trator Ruth Hardy said the the
oldsters would be placed in other
quarters.
Mrs. Draheim said that (lie wel
fare payments ranging from $101
to $179 a month were not enough
to meet costs of staffing the Ma
donna nursing home.

cision to evict the welfare patients
came last week after a doctor
hired by the welfare commission
canceled a prescription of heart
medicine lor a patient and sub
stituted an antacid in its place.
