The Arguments and the Decision.
Prosecutor Gully began the argu-
ment for the State in the Hinshaw trial. Mrs. Sarah Oylet, mother oi the murdered woman, who has stood by and assisted Hinshaw in every way possible since his arrest was absent, as was also the brother-in-law of the minister. Mr. Gully went into a thorough review of the case from beginning to end. After describing the relations between the minister and Allie Ferree, the Prosecutor
turned to Hinshaw and said: “That is the kind of love this mon-
ster, clothed in a minister’s garb, bore for that good Christian woman.” Twelve hundred pairs of eyes were riveted on the prisoner as the attorney made this remark, and Hinshaw drooped his head, unable to
face the gaze of the audience. The most exciting scene by far that
has occured since the beginning of the trial was when Gully went into a graphic description of the scene of the shooting, and used the powderburned pillow in illustration . This caused such great commotion that the attorney was interrupted by the murmurings of the audience. Mr.
Gully occupied the entire day. Front seats in the courtroom were
sold by the bailiffs this afternoon for $2 each, and those who were fortunate enough to be comfortably located this morning did not forsake their seats during the noon recess, but either did without their dinners or partook of a cold lunch that they
had provided.
As the prisoner was being taken to the jail this evening, he was loudly hissed by the crowds on the streets. The excitement is at a high pitch, and should the jury fail to convict, the people m.iy attempt to take the
law into their own hands.
Owing to the hostility of the audience when it became exited during Prosecutor Gully’s argument four extra bailiffs were sworn in before court opened, and the least attempt at a demonstration was promptly sup-
pressed.
Mrs. Oyler was here this morning and sat at the minister’s side during
the entire day.
Attorney Enoch Hogate began the opening argument for the defense and he dealt the theories of the State some telling blows. He pointed out many contradictory statements made by the witnesses for the prosecution and arraigned the detectives severely. He termed them “damnable tools of this vindietive prosecution.” He said that the placing of Hinshaw’s j weapons in the places where they Cin- were found was the work of the real murderers, who wanted the minister convicted in order to shield themselves. He caiei’uiiy reviewed the previous good reputation of the de-
fonrlanf. n rwl
premeditatedly murdered that goed
Christian woman?”
A young lady who w as sitting in one of the Sheriffs $2 seats was noticed to answer him by an afhrma-
ion nod of the head.
Mr. Hogate endeavored to show hat it was impossible for the miniser to have placed the revolver where r was found, fie closed bv giving a description of the happy life that the defendant and deceased enjoyed from their marriage until the nitcht of the murder, and as the attorney took his -tent, tears were flowing from the eyes of the minister and his family, while he jury was also visibly affected. At 3:30 o’clock Cassius C. Hadley tegan speaking in behalf of the State. The hour he occupied prior to adjournment he devoted to the numer)us stories related by the defendant, ind pointed out their'many variations, lie (ievoted some little time to scoring he Coroner for the manner in which le conducted the inquest. He said hat during the inquest Hinshaw

was represented by his attorney, who
‘ ' t
isked him 594 questions which were ■ululated to support his story, while r he Coroner only asked 17. He said: ‘Imagine this holy son of the Creator 'oing to the Grand Jury and demandng his revolver, saying ho was going to carry it. Imagine this teacher of the divine law instructing his flock from his pulpit with a loaded revolver in his hip pocket, the same one with which he murdered his wife.” Mr. Hadley said that the State’s heory of the tragedy was that the murdered woman had censured the defendant for his actions with Miss Ferree, and that she had threatened him with exposure and disgrace; that while she was lying on the bed with her face buried in the pillow, he murdered her, and pointed out many circumstances calculated to support
his theory.
This afternoon Hon. John S. Dun-
mn of Indianapolis began an argument which will probably last until
half of tt
oil Tuesday in behalf of the minister it the bar. He began by paying an daborate tribute to the court and jury, after which he passed to the home life of Mrs. Hinshaw and the pastor. He spoke of the manner in which she had assisted him in his
church work, and said their conduct toward each other remind him of that toast so popular among the officers of the navy. “May the sweethearts soon become wives, and the wives always remain sweethearts.” The rest of the afternoon tho speaker spent in his attempt to explode the motive the State claims prompted the minister to commit murder. The defendant’s parents were greatly affected during Mr. Duncan’s description of their son’s past life, but Hinshaw never changed color. Attorney Spaan made the closing argument for the State, and it was a telling one. He spoke on the absurdities of the defendant’s story regarding tho happenings on the night of the murder, and, referring to Mr. Duncan’s explanations, said: “Consistency, thou art a jewel, but evidently thou art not fastened to John Duncan’s shirt front. Why, the burglars had no reason to commit murder, for the preacher himself says that they had already secured the money. Duncan, your story is a lie. Your client is a murderer, and you know it. You realize that the facts .ire against you, and now you are hiding like cowards behind the doctrine of reasonable doubt.” After a thorough review of the testimony of the medical experts, Mr. Spaan said: “The laws of gravitation will not permit blood to run up hill, even to save the neck of a Methodist minister, regardless of the fact that Dr. Stein, a man who was willing to swear anything for the almighty dollar, tells you it did.” On Wednesday, after the judge’s charge, the jury retired to consider the case, anil in the afternoon they returned a verdict of guilty, fixing the punishment at imprisonment for life. The verdict was well received by the people, but it was a surprise to the prisoner and his attorneys. Hinshaw’ plainly showed by his countenance thathew’.is stricken heavily because of the result of the trial.

The Banner, published at Nashville, Tenn., iu noticing a concert given there, says: Miss Rose Marquis, iwho so charmed the audience with her violin last night, is connected with the Tennessee Female college at Franklin. She has played before great audiences in Chicago and other cities and is a' mistress of the bow. The first notes drawn by her bow from the violin in the rendition of an adaptation from “11 Trovatore” convinced the hearers that there was a treat in store for them. They were not only not disappointed in that number and the polonaise by Vieuxtemps, but they were constrained to pay her the tribute of a hearty recognition of her genius. She plays with great ease and grace, and has in her playing the soul of music. It is to be hoped that Nashville audiences may frequently have the pleasure of hearing her.
