patches contained uii account of the confession of Xoah Haney. which charged two tuen uow Contimit for
short terms 111 the state prison with
the crime, hut ut that time the attorney uf Mr. liinshaw lield bach the

fession. This lie did, in company with
tin' attorneys uf Mr. liinshaw.
Bencv's eon fessiou was to the effect
that he anil two other men ilrove from thin city the night of the muriler ami coin in it ted the crime just as described
bj Mr. liinshaw. Tuesday night four

Attorney .lames 0. Parker ami a phv

over the route taken by the murderers, Haney doing the driving and describing the r"Ute on the w ay. AT THE 8 K N K M I HK IU MR.
When the little party reached Hcl'e-
ville they stopped at a place where
Kaucy said they had first hitched their
horse. This corresponds w ith the state
ment of a Mr. Asher, who say s he saw
a horse suiting the description hitched
at that place on the night of the mur
der After this the four men went to
the old liinshaw home, which Haney had previously pointed out as the house, although he said he might not In aide to recognine it. hecause it w as winter when thev were there. The horse was hitched where the murderers' buggy b'ft on the fata! night and the scene of the murder was uti red 11 on. Id Ham-v's confession he describe minutely the house and all the movements uf the three murderers. He 11IWed the house as he and his accomplices had done, through the kitchen. "A table stood there," he said, as he passed through the kitchen, wliich was true lie then poiiitedout the eupUoiird. or rather its position, from which the revolver and ra.r wer taken. He also showed when- he knock d overaeliii'r iu his movements. Passing into the next room Haney pdatd 1 nit w here a bed bedetood oa the uight of the murder, There is BOM there now, but there was at that time. In the next room lie found a lied, but said none was there ou his previous visit. Which was true. Then came the final test of the room ill he b the murder oeeurred. '1 wo beds now stand 111 this room. This was remarked by Haney when he entered. He said the room looked somen hat different, and that there 'Aas au addition of one bed. He then directed the movements of the furniture unt:! a bed hail been placed just win-re the bed stood in which Mr. ami Mrs. Ilin.shaw were sleeping mi the eight of the murder. Haney theu lay down iu the bed to show the position of the sleepers. When the murderers entered the room they secured a poeltetboofc from Mr. Hinshaw's coat, and. 111 taking silver from his trousers, they dropped a bunch of keys, awakening the occupants of the bed. Haney said he took the trousers ami carried theiu out of the house. He went out ami showed w here he placed then, which was where they were found. Hanev ran out when the sleep Of Were aw akened, and w hen he returned, he said, the other men were lighting with Mr liinshaw. KU MM Of UM! HINSii m . Haney then retrace. 1 his steps of the light of the murder. He went out of the west door of the shed room and aroii.nl the house When he reached the east door again lie .said that W hitney and Hiiishaw were lighting in the street. Van Taasell, the other meinIst of the trio. stood in the yard. .lust then Mrs. liinshaw came to the door, w here her body was afterward found, and Van Tassell tired at her at a distant f atxiut ten feet. She fell in the doorway. Van Tassel then went to Whitney's assistance, and Haney threw away the revolver which he had been carrying. It was found after the murdt r just where he said he threw it. According to the story, liinshaw had been so badly injured by this time that the other two men freed themselves, anil all started toward the buggy. On the way Jtaney threw away the pocketbook ami ra7.or. He pointed out the spots where they were found next day. All three got into the buggy and drove to this city, reaching here in the early morning. In many points this atory agrees with the testimony of people who saw enough of certain small details of it to corroborate the story, but not sfftcicnt to make their evidence of value by itself For instance, Lewis Asher was in Melleville the night of the murder to buy some stock. He says that ho saw a horse and buggy standing where the murderers' horse u us first hitched, about the tunc it w 11, there. Miss W on e'.: testified at the trial that she had seen men running- away f rom the house immediately after the shots were heard, but thcr uld be found no other peraon who heard or saw the men. ami no tracks could lie found in the light enow which was at that time falling, so her testimony was not taken at the time as amounting to much. She said the men ran in the direction given by llatvry. Asher also Kive a discription o4 the horse and buggy he saw. and it tallies with the -outfit used by the murderers. Ulnehawe attorney are highly elat
cd with the corroboration of Hnnev
confession by the little details w hieb
arc Known to ot ner w ltucsses, and t he think the result of the visit M .1 be to clear liinshaw ol the charge of murdering hi wife. One rather strange thing about t he affair is t hat Mrs. ilcr, the mother of Nlrs. Hiiishaw, has never doubted the iuiiocence of her sou -inlaw she always maintained t hat she knew him so well that she could not believe that he could do such a thing, and would not lelieve it until there was produced some direct evidence. She recently wrote him a letter in which she reiterated her belief in his innocence, and expressed the strong hojH' that he would soon Ik- free. HOLMAN'S SUCCESSOR.
