Tucson (AZ) Daily Citizen, March 25, 1907, p. 1. STRUCK DOWN IN PRESENCE OF DEATH Corydon, Indiana, March 25-Dr. John Battarff was called late last night to administer to two women who had become prostrated in a most peculiar manner. Henry Peper, a farmer, had died during the day. While his daughter, Emma, and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. William Peper, were sitting with the corpse, they were assaulted and knocked down simultaneously. They seemed unable to give any definite statement as to what really occurred. All they know is that some black object dealt them heavy blows and felled them to the floor. Dr. Battarff reports that he had much difficulty in restoring the women to consciousness.
