LOOPHOLE FOR WILLIS.
He May Not BE Held - the Murderer
of Lawyer HuItz.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, JAM. 4.-There has
been delay in the work of the grand jury
in the HultZ assassination because two Of
the jurors were found to be related to the
family of ex-Sheriff Willis, who is accused
Of the murder. The testimony of the wit
pesses is said not to be as positive as it
was expected to be in Identifying the arti-
cles the assassin threw into the pond after
committing the murder. The Sullivan Union
of to-day says: "Wflis's attorneys claim
that it is pos sible that another committed
the crime, ard argue lat the history OF
Jurisprudence is full of cases of mistaken
Identity, and that many an innocent man
has been charged with crime with the cir
cumstances overwhelmingly against him.
Their theory is that another with vengeance
against the unfortunate nan may have
taken the opportunity of inflicting so terri
bic a punishment, for it is said that Hultz
had caused trouble in more than one fam
ily."i
Prosecutor Hamill, of this county, and
ex-Judge John G. Robinson, of this city,
have been employed by the friends of Hultz
TO assist in the prosecution.
