MRS. KUHN ON THE STAND.
She Made Good Impression on the
Minds of the Jurymen.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind, Feb 27.-In the
Kuhn murder case, to-day, the defendant
testified in her own behalf She showed
emotion and gave way to her feelings, and
was the only witness who cried on the
witness stand during this important trial.
She was cross-examined by Judge Hord. but
he was unable to entrap her into any con-
tradictions. She returned emphatic mega
tives to several pointed questions to her
knowledge of strychnine being in her house
or having been brought there by any one.
she spoke quickly and without any hesta-
ton whatever and left very favorable inn
preston that her story was consistent with
innocence. She said she was nearly TWEEN
ty-three years old, and had known her hus-
band all her life. They were married the
list of September, 1892 and she said she
married him because she loved him. Her
mother opposed her marriage, but her mar
ried existence was the happiest of her life.
With this witness the defense rested.
The State created a sensation by placing
Charles Kuhn on the stand TO show that he
was the Kuhn that DIR. Drake. of Shelby
vile. had prescribed the pepsin and nux
vomica for. DR.. Drake was recalled and
still insisted he had prescribed for Edward
Kuhn. Both closed their evidence and the
court adjourned until tomorrow, when the
arguments will begin. The general feeling
is that Mrs. Kuhn will be acquitted.

WINCHESTER, Ind, Feb 27--Coroner o.
H. Barnhill, of Danville: DIR. T. f. Dry
den, of Clayton; DIR. ]. r. Weist. of Rich
mond, and DIR. j. E. Markle, of this city,
to-day made post-mortem examination Of
the remains of Thursey Hinshaw wife of
Rev. William E. Hinshaw, of Bellville The
examination was to have been made yester
day. but owing to the frozen condition of
the body had to be deferred until to-day.
The result of the examination shows that
the ball which caused her death entered
from the right side of the head just in
front of the middle parietal region,
and left the head three and one-half inches
above the opening of the ear and two inches
behind the external border of the orbit,
passing directly through both anterior lobes
of the cerebrum in a direct line. The skin
on the right side of the head for diameter
or one and one-half inches was found dark
and was burned. Also, a slight perforated
wound, with margin of skin one-haf inch
about it discolored, on posterior part of
head an inch and one-half to the right of
the middle occipital protuberance. A clot OF
blood about two inches in diameter was
found under the dura mater the right
side over the anterior part of the frontal
lobe of the brain.
:. A careful examination of the lungs, heart,
found healthy and normal. The examination
was made by DR.. Weist whose prominence
and skill as surgeon are well known in
the presence of Coroner Barnhill and Drs.
Dryden and Markle, and was thorough and
complete Each of the doctors, John Oyler,
the father of Mrs. Hinshaw, and Otis Oyler
brother, were examined The testimony of
DR.. Weist, corroborated by each of the
other surgeons, was to the effect that a
wound of the character of the gunshot
wound would produce shock of great sers
verify, most probably immediate uncon-
seriousness, and ultimate DEATH Some rare
examples were mentioned however, of per-
sons similarly wounded who had retained
consciousness the power of locomotion, and
who had ultima tely recovered.
The importance of the testimony of DR..
Weist and his associates on this line lies
in the fact of whether it does does not
tend to corroborate the statements of Mr..
HinShaw in relation to alleged acts of his
wife Immediately after the shooting. The
testimony of Otis Oyler the brother of Mrs.
Hinshaw, was to the effect that he was
quite frequently at the home of his broth
er-in-law, and that the relations between
him and deceased were pleasant far as
he knew, although he had heard rumors
to the contrary. The. father thought. their
relations were generally pleasant, although
he had heard rumors to the contrary, and
had known of one instance or two when in
their home when their relations were not
the most pleasant.
