to The Gazette from Winchester, Ind, gives
the following interesting particulars con-
cerning the trial of B. G. Henshaw for the

shaw reformed gambler and brother of
the defendant, drew some money from the
bank for wheat he had sold. Meeting an
acquaintance he was persuaded to take
drunk, contrary to his habits, and soon was
engaged at the gaming table. After win
ming all the money from his opponent the
nor efnnnn6 n q ehnrt fipnQ no "
called from the room by some one un-
known, knocked on the head and robbed
of all be had. His brother B. q. Henshaw
was sent for and was making arrangements
D remove the insensible man home.
At this point the most important ques-
ton in the case is raised. IL is claimed by
the defense that Heaston said off you will
get the whiskey out of the damn son of 8
bitch, he will be all right" Henshaw ad-
vanced towards Heastop, demanding re-
II action, when the latter drew knife, and
was stabbed by the former in self-defense.
The prosecution claim that Henshaw ad-
vanced towards Heaston and without
word being said by either party stabbed the
latter twice, severing the iugular vein.
They also claim that Heaston didn't draw
his knife, but that his knife was found shut
up about two rods from the scene of the
murder, next morning. The case attracts
special attention from the fact that the par
ties are wealthy and have employed an i'm
mense array of legal talent. There are
about 35 witnesses, and the case will
probably continue three or four days.
