FRANKFORT, Jan. 15.-Special.-Jas-
per Hull who was convicted and SEN
fenced to nine years in the penitentiary
last week for larceny, made his escape
from Jail this morning by playing a
cute trick on the officers.
This is the way it was done: Last

one of them was about his size and
makeup. concluded to trade clothes
with him. After having their breakfast
this morning the sheriff turned out what
he supposed were the tramps, and as the
two walked out, Jasper thanked the
sheriff for the nights lodging and warm
breakfast and they were gone.
The other tramp, with Jasper's clothes
on, was still in there and kept still until
later, when he made known the mistake.
The county is being secured by a posse
of men. but up to late this evening there
is no clew.
Arrangements had been made to take
Jasper to the pen this morning. but he
left without a guide. The tramp with
Jasper's clothes on is still in jail and
may do time for him.

MUNCIE, Jan S.-Special.-There is
much bad feeling in the congregation Of
the African methodist church of this city
and Elder Smith of indianapolis has
been here for some time past vainly try
ing to pacify the colored brethren.
There seems to have been some oppo-
sition to the action of the last confer
ence in returning the Rev. ]. Bundy to

Rev. Mr.. Bundy has been wedding out
the rebelling faction by dismissing it
from the aggregation. The members
discharged allege that the reverend gen.
tlemen is attempting to draw the color
line by dismissing all the black members
and congregate the yellow complexioned
members to themselves. 1t is also al
legged that Bundy is not truthful man
and that he has put young men in as
trustees who frequent gambling-rooms
and have no regard for religion.
Some of the members refuse to be
fired and insist on attending meeting
saying their prayers and taking part in
the speech-making. Some of the scenes
and incidents enacted are truly amusing
TO a spectator. The warning factions
say that there will yet be some danger

AN ALLEGED CONFESSION.
Methodist Preacher Said 10 Have Com
fesSed to the Hinshayv Murder.

RICHMOND, Jan. 15.-Special.-The
Item publishes the following startling in
formation tonight:
Readers of the Item will no doubt re-
member the particulars of most afro
cious murder that was committed in
Randolph county. close to Wayne's bor-
der line, two years ago last June.
William Hinshaw. young man living
in the county three miles east of Win
chester. had been paying attention to
Miss Minnie Boyd, who lived south Of
Lynn on the Richmond turnpike. On
the Sunday Of the murder Hinshaw had
been to the house, remaining until quite
late He started home, down the dark
road, driving his horse at pretty lively
gait Before ne had gone a great dis
lance he was shot 10 death and the next
morning his body was. found along the
roadside. His pockets were rihed and
money and watch gone. This seemed
conclusive evidence that robbery was the
first intention of the murder But sub
seQuent facts made things look in an
other direction, and it was supposed
that the murder was committed from
some other motive. Sheriff Buck
Fletcher of Winchester assisted by
numerous detectives worked on the case,
but found every detail clothed in mys-
terry. and while suspicion rested upon
several persons there was nothing that
would Justify an arrest being made.
Thus the affair went on to be soon for
gotten by people generally. This morn
ing there came a rumor from Fountain
City and Lynn that another chapter in
the crime had become known and the adj
ditiOnal matter is very much on the SEN
sational order 1t was stated that the
Rev. Benjamin Baldwin, a methodist
minister who formerly occupied the pull
pit at Fountain City, had made full
confession of the murder. He is now at
Troy, O., and has been brooding over the
awful affair until he felt that to make
clean breast of the murder would ease
his mind. Ii is said that Baldwin was
sutton to Miss Bond, who did not admire
him, but on the other hand was partial
to young Hinshaw The father of Miss
Boyd favored the minister and they to-
gether cOncOcted the plot to murder the
young man. Baldwin in his confession
duplicates Bond as his helpmate in the
crime.
THE Item telephoned to Winchester this
morning 10 learn the facts I'm the case,
but nothing is known definite. The rU-
NOR there is to the same effect as here.
Buck Fletcher is not in Winchester. but
# is thought went to Troy. o., TO arrest
Baldwin, and will then proceed to Cali
fornia where Bond now lives and arrest
him. Everybody from Fountain City and
Lynn, who happen tn be in Richmond
today, are very laxative upon the sub
iect and say that those towns are thor
