When his parole was granted there was great rejoicing among Hinshaw's relatives and friends and wtihln a week after h'.s release from the penitentiary at Michigan " to- came 'h relfirst preach church, to Wayne county for r atives near Centervih Sunday he was there, I. ed a sermon in the Fr.c the first time he had delivered one sine:? nis arrest ior tne murder or his wife seven years before. There was a large congregation present and the alleged wife-murderer selectei what he evidently believed were appropriate scriptural passages, his endeavor being to impress his hearers with the idea that he had been grossly misjudged and had suffered punishment which should have been borne by others. Serious Charges Are Made. Hinshaw's violation of the parole which was granted him by. Governor Durbin is the alleged breaking-up of the home of George Freeman, of Wabash county. Ilinshaw and -Mrs. Freeman have been much in each other's company recently and they were at Lynn together within the past week or so. Sensational charges are made. A telephone message from Lynn to the Palladium last evening was to the effect that the Sheriff of Ran dolph county, armed with a writ from the governor, went to the Ilinshaw ' home north of Lynn at 11 o'clock yesmer minister. He was hurried to Winchester and taken to Indianapolis on a Big Four train. Lynn, where a sister of Mrs. Freeman resides, was in the midst of great excitement last night over the case. OPENS UP FAMOUS CASE. M Mrs. Hinshaw May be Ascertained j by the Authorities. Indianapolis, Ii:d.. November S. (Spl) The arrest of William E. Hin shaw, convicted of tne murder of his wife and sentenced to imprisonment for lif?, only to be paroled several years later, was made at Lynn, Randolph county today and Hinshaw is now in Indianapolis. The arrest promises to open up the Hinshaw cast? again, and throw further light on some of the mysteries of that famous murder. Hinshaw was a Methodist minister in what was known as the Belville circuit, Hendricks county. On the morning of January 19, 1S95. his wife was found murdered, and Hinshaw himself shot in two places and slashed with a razor. , Hinshaw was accused of the crime and after a long trial he was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. He was released by Gov. Durbin on th last day of his term of office, January 9, 190r. the parole being at the pleasure of the Governor. The parole was granted at the earnest solicitation of Union U. Hunt, now rauroau commissioner, wno nas oeen a lifelong friend of Hinshaw. At the time of the trial another woman was connected with it in an indefinite way. It is i-ught that the present developments will clear this matter up beyond all peradventnre and that the whole truth of this famous case will come to light at last. Breakup of Another Home. The present developments involve the alleged breakup of another home. The warrant was issued by Governor Hanly on a representation by George Freeman, Republican sheriff -elect of Wabash county, that Hinshaw h?d been intimate with Freeman's wife since his release from Michigan City, j Freeman is a brother of Will Free-; man. secretary of the State Board of ; Forestry. j Will and George Freeman have ; (CoaUnued on .Page Two.) v

Sol Fox went to Indianapolis yesterday to meet his son Simon who was removed yesterday from Christ's Hospital at Cincinnati to a hospital in Indianapolis. Mr. Fox was in the wreck on" the L. & X. rilroad which occured near Memphis, Tenn., four weeks ago, and he received a nervous shock and a slight concussion of the brain. He was in a critical condition for u time, but at the present he is rapidly improving, although his present condition is far from the best. The doctors who have been attending Mr. Fox, state that they cannot entirely fathom his ailment, and a few of them are inclined to think that he suffered several internal injuries, which have not as yet developed. Following the accident he was taken to Cincinnati and was yesterday removed to Indianapolis. Mr. Fox is well known in this city and has many friends who are anxiously waiting the news from his bedside, lis was for a long time connected with his father in the clothing business but later went to Indianapolis.

PAINT NUMERALS AT HIGH SCHOOL

Students Skillfully Evade Man on Guard and Use Red Paint Freely. WILL MEAN SUSPENSION SENIOR BOYS DECLARE THEY HAD NO HAND IN IT AND ARE WILLING TO TELL WHO DID PAINTING IF NECESSARY. i In spite of the fact that James I. Van Zant was on guard -at the high school building last night students at the school painted large red numerals 07 and '09 on the cement walks and pillars at the two entrances to the building. The numerals are for the Sophomore and Senior classes, but it is known that no Seniors took part in the painting and it is thought that no Sophomores had a hand in it. The Senior boys recently had trouble with the school authorities over the matter of wearing corduroy trousers. It might appear that they painted the numerals at the building as a piece of spite work, but the boys "fixed up" their differences yesterday and returned to school and last night after the painting occurred a number of the Senior boys declared they had nothing to do with it. They said that they knew some of those who did the work. They said they were Juniors and in case it was necessary for them to tell Principal Ellabarger who did the painting they would do so. The Seniors even went so far as to help Janitor William McGrew and Fireman Van Zant in their efforts to remove the paint. The numerals on the cement walks leading up to the building were erased but the paint sank into the softer stone of the pillars and it is doubtful if it can be washed off. As the painting of class numerals on the building is clearly a violation of school rules it is highly probable that the students engaged in it will be dismissed from school. Those who did the painting cleverly ejluded Mr. Van Zant, who was watching the building by painting the numerals on the south side while he was on the west side of the building, jid when he was finding the numerals on the south side they were busy with their painting on the west side.

WEST SIDERS WILL CONSIDER A PARK New Improvement Association Want a Beauty Spot Along the River. COST WOULD NOT BE BIG CITY NOW OWNS SOME LAND ON PROPOSED SITE OF PARK AS PLANNED IT WOULD EXTEND SOUTH FROM RICHMOND AVE. The West Side Improvement Society which has many projects under consideration for the betterment of that section of Richmond, will at its next meeting one week from this evening, consider the park proposition and it is believed by the members that they have a plan whereby not only the west side but Richmond as a whole can, with little trouble and little expense, add a beautiful public park and play ground to its chain. Attorney A. M. Gardner, a member of the society, spent considerable time yesterday in the office of the city engineer ascertaining just what ground the city owns on the west bluff of Whitewater river south of Richmond avenue. Sbme time ago, during the period that Harry Weber was city engineer, there was a general park scheme on, which included the building of a drive way about the city. West of the river it would have (been on the edge of the bluff, while the ground on either side of it from Richmond avenue to Kinsey street was to have been converted into a park. The West Side Improvement Society, taking its cue from this abandoned boulevard project, hopes. to have a "Riverside Park' which shall extend from Richmond Avenue south to Kinsey street and from the edge of the river's bluff west to West First ctrnot Hie Tir?iTr1 friro o n-rm w strip of ground four blocks in length and it not only would give the city a new and beautiful park, the promoters say, but it would be a step toward civic beauty that would be generally appreciated. The city now owns two or three lots along the river bluff and the other ground is held by various persons. The land will be appraised and at the meeting of the West Side society a report will be made showing what the cost to the city would be if this necessary land would be purchased. Sooner or later the society believes, there will be more or less building on this tract of land, and when this begins it would be difficult to obtain the necessary ground for. the proposed park.
