HINSHAW

Will He Hang, or Spend His Life in Stripes? Or Will He Be Acquitted as ; Preach Sinners to Repentance Aru ? The Strange Case of Rei. Hinshai Hoi On Trial at Dannie. The September term of the Hendricks county circuit court commenced Wednesday. The only casethat will be tried is the famous Hinshaw murder mystery.the detai's of which are familiar to the WorIvD-Courier readers. This is one of the most remarkable cases on record, and has attracted the closest attention, not only in thel Indiana, but throughout all the states. The principal metropolitan dailies of the country have given extended histories of the crime, and will give daily reports of the trial. John V. Hadley, an able and fearless judge, presided over the -tml, and each side ia satisfied to abid'.- by bis decisions. To those who have not visited the scct-o cf the tragedy, it is impossible for them to imagine the feeling of the citizens. The best families in the county are arrayed against each other, some believing the young minister innocent, while others "are just is persistent in the opposite opinion. One half the church people support their former pastor, and nine-tenths of the other citizens believe him to be a wife- - murderer. Hinshaw 's cell in the jail would net hold all the dainty eatables that his friends would send him. One old lady with good intentions sent him her only feather bed. Another estimable church member says that if they send her beloved pastor to the penitentiary that she intends to go with him. The best legal talent in the state has been employed on each side, and more than two hundred witcesses will be examined. The case will consume five weeks, and will cost thousands of dollars. The jury must do one of the four things: Hang the preacher, send him to the penitentiary for life, fail to agree, or acquit him of the charge. No one has ever been hung in Hendricks county, and it would indeed seem cruel to break the record with a minister of the gospel. Many believe that he will be given a life sentence, while not a few are of the opinion that he will be acquitted. Rev. Hinshaw entered the court room Wednesday, smiling good naturedly to all his acquaintances. It will probably take until the first of next week to secure the jury, as it will he impossible to find a man in Hendricks County but who kn ms something about the sad affair. The defense will try to prove that Mrs. Hinshaw was killed by two unknown men, and that it i would be impossible for him to have killed his wife and inflict the wounds upon his person. They will claim that he was a man of

stainless reputation, and that there j make the change but two councilwas no known motive for his ' !neo! Swindler ami Murphy' were committing the crime. 0r for r ' Tbus nB lhat rni. it . economy sometimes goes under the f he state will endeavor to prove t wrong Dame. a Tax Payer:

that there was another woman in the case, that the young minister was unduly amorous and that his actions toward certain young ladies arid elderly maidens have been annything but gentlemanly. But to prove this assertion will be quite another thing. Providing that he is guilty as

cnargea, a reasonable way to view the circumstances would be this: On the fatal r.ight the minister and bis wife arrived home about 10 o'clock. They talked over domes tic topics for perhaps an hour. Their conversation was not of the most agreeable nature. They dis agrted, they quaireled, the husband grabbed the wife by the wrists, as the prints plainly show The wife warded off the blows with
