WORK OF WHITECAPS Take Farmer from Home, Tie Him to Tree and Whip Him Nashville, Indiana, April 28-A double whitecapping occurred early this morning in Johnson, sixteen miles from here. The victims were James Moffatt and Elsworth Harmon, living one mile apart. Shortly after midnight a mob consisting of 40 masked men surrounded the door of Moffatt's home, broke in the front door, dragged Moffatt from his bed, tied him to a tree in the yard and gave him 40 lashes on the bare back with hickory switches. He was carried back into the house and in the presence of his wife was told that unless he stopped his visits to a certain house of unsavory reputation in the neighborhood and quit beating his wife, the punishment would be repeated. Moffatt promised. The mob quietly went to the Harmon house where the same programme was repeated.
