BLOOMINGTON. Ind, June 2-Prose-
cutor Miller filed new affldavits this morn
ing against the six men accused of white
Gaping Joseph ShiveIey and, the Stephens
women, several weeks ago, and Judge Will
son ordered the rearrest of the accused men
and required new bonds. The men charged
with the whipping say they are ready for
trial now, but the State is not ready and
the case will be continued for the present
Prosecutor Miller expects to have the trial
set for one day during the present term, but
probably not until the last week of court
A. M. Hadley and East & East, appointed
by Judge Wilson to assist Prosecutor Miller
In the trial, have Withdrawn from the case
because the court is without funds. There
has been no meeting of the County Council
for the purpose of making the appropria-
ton, and these attorneys do not feel dis
posed to donate their services. In the trial,
however, the State will be assisted by Dun
can & Batman, who were retained by the
Good Citizens League.
To-day Mrs. Hopper, who is a prosecut-
ing witness in one of the alleged white
Gaping cases, knocked the bottom out of
allegation that any such an affair took
place at her home. Mrs. Hopper states
that no effort was made to whitecap any
one, and that the men involved were not
masked. The trouble was between some
neighbor boys and her son, and when they
were quarreling she went to her sons de-
tense. Further than that there Is no truth
In the report, and Mrs. Hopper will, she
says, so testify in court.
