Twelve men, wearing white masks
and disguises, took Jack Myers from
the house of Henry Myers at Pownal
Center Tuesday night, dragged him to
the woods, gagged him, tied him to a
tree and gave, him fearful horse
whipping. They then warned him to
leave town or he would fare worse.
Myers was unable to go home and
was half dead when found. His al
legged intimacy with a married wo-
man was the reason for the outrage.
