Montgomery was not invited to the garden party in Washington for the British King and Queen earlier in the month. Why did they do this? Because the Montgomery boys, Ian and Colin, took exception to Cassini writing that their father R.H. He swore out warrants for the arrest of the Montgomery Brothers and Alexander Calvert. Turns out that on 25 June 1939, 'Chit Chat Columist' Igor Cassini got a coat of tar and feathers. In looking to see what became of Austine McDonnell, I stumbled across an article about a tar and feathering in Washington DC. Cassini was a writer for Hearsts' newspapers for years. Austine was married to Count Igor Cassini for a time before she married William Randolf Hearst II. She screen tested for the role of Melanie in 'Gone With the Wind' and was signed for a seven year contract with MGM. She was 'discovered' dancing in a Washington hotel. While reading an article about the death of Ruth Etting's step-daughter, I saw the picture and caption about Austine McDonnell.

Through a series of coincidences, I happened upon newpaper pages with stories of people who turned out to be connected. Though no longer common, the practice has occasionally resurfaced in modern times, and is associated with vigilante mobs. The punishment is not necessarily fatal, and with the exception of its appearance as a 12th-century sentence, tarring and feathering has never been a legitimate legal penalty. (Though not for the victim.)В The act of covering a person in hot tar and feathers is a method of public shaming that dates back to the Crusades.
