WHITECAPPERS LAST HOPE GONE Supreme Court Denies Petition for Rehearing Tobe Snoddy and Silas Adams must each serve a term in the state prison at Michigan City for the whitecapping of Harvey McFarland, as the supreme court refused to grant a new trial or give a re-hearing in either case. The peculiar part of the proceedings show how juries look at the evidence differently as in the case of Newton Adams, the third man to be placed on trial, he was found not guilty on the first ballot. Five others are yet to be tried. A few days ago Gov. Marshall stated that over $3,000 had been paid as a special allowance by the state to bring about the convictions, and he could see no reason why the men should not now serve out their sentences. Harvey McFarland, who was whitecapped, lives six miles west of town near the Harmony Church but was whipped in Salt Creek Township where he was taken from bed one night by a band of masked men, as it was his custom to stay on his Salt Creek farm for a week at a time. McFarland was severely whipped but not seriously injured. He testified that he recognized seven men who were later indicted by a grand jury. Each asked a separate trial. Snoddy was first convicted, then Adams. The trouble said to have caused the whipping was a controversy over a land trade in which Snoddy was interested and which McFarland bought at a school tax sale.
