In all the trouble the witness saw no

fight, the only one he heard being the one
that awakened him. He even had no lnowl-

him, and the doctors had told him Ii was

would be safe in saying that 1t was not the
one who had ho,d of him. AS he does not
remember OF either of the men running
away from him, he thinks he must have
lost consciousness after he was shot. When
that sensation twhen he supposes he was
shot, came over him. he was near Tinchers

he came to he called for help. He has no
remembrance of calling for help White he
was fighting. When he came to ne thought
he would go to the doctors and he started
to his Office, and met people coming to him.

The witness then told how, on the Mon
day night before, when he and his wife
reached home, they found the kitchen door
open, but he could not tell If the house had
been entered. Mr.. Parker then ssked what
his wife had said when she spoke the sec

grabbed him about the neck and asked If

A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.
This ended the examination of Mr.. Hin
shaw, and the fact OF the warrant having
been issued for him becoming known around
town, there were many angry threats made
against the detective. Sentiment was very
strong for the minister. The detective was
evidently disappointed in the result Of the
examination. and he destroyed the warrant
and the justice revoked the constable's pow
er which ne had given the detective. Mr..
Hinshaw remained in Danville over Sunday,
attending church service, where he was the
center Of all eyes.
From this day the rumors that had been
whispered around began to be open charges.
and Mr.. Hinshaw's name was more and
more freely used in connection with the
murder. The fact that his wounds could
have been self-infiicted, that his own weap-
ons were used and many other little stories
were told, accompanied by doubtful shrus
of the shoulders that built up strong feel
ing Of his guilt. Soon he resumed his pas
toral duties, and the friends of his wife, who
was honored by all. decided to hold
memorial service in her honor. The church
at Bel.eville could not hold third of the
people who came for miles around to hear
the tribute paid by DR.. Sampson Tincher to
the memory of the beloved woman. The
venerable Doctors remarks also contained
a caustic criticism upon those people who
were uttering insinuations against the be-
reaved husband. These remarks caused
much discussion. but talk about Mr.. Hin
shaw did not decrease. but rather increased,
because. on this day of his wife's memorial
service he had preached, as was his GUS
tom. The memorial service was held In the
afternoon, and in the morning he preached
at Salem, his text being, Though He slay
me- yet will trust Him."
Mr. Hinshaw now resumed full pastoral
duties, and received the homage of many of
his people. At Stilesville he preached on
the following Sunday, his text being: Shall
Job serve God for naught?" This sermon
was generally admitted to have been one OF
the stronse est ever delivered in the county.
Mr.. Hinshaw referred to the tragedy fire.
quently in his sermons. and always with
telling effect, for fond memories of his wife
were easily aroused. On one occasion he
said, in substance: 81 could forgive the
man who murdered my wife il he came and
ask forgiveness, but 1 could not easily
forgive the man who has said aught against
her good name" This statement has caused
much talk, as it is claimed that no one had
ever hinted the least reproach against her,
and the first intimation, people said. came
thus from him. In the innocent pastimes of
a social nature Mr.. Hinshaw took a great
interest, and he was severely criticised for
attending parties and receptions so soon
after the death of his wife. His gayety was
a subject of comment. and those who
claimed to know him we'll say he was the
happiest of the merry throngs. He was
pleased to have the young ladies of his
congregation present him bouquets, and he
would preach with the flowers in the lapel
of his coat These things added fuel to the
growing flame against him. His friends
claimed vigorously that these things proved
under the circumstances; that, even know
ing he was under suspicion, his innocence
kept him buoyed up.
GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION.
In May the grand jury met. 1t was the
first grand jury to investigate the case.
The January grand jury did not inquire into
the tragedy, as the detectives were still
working on it, and 1t was thought best not
to interfere with them. At the March term
of court there was no grand jury. Hence.
the May term brought the first investiga-
tion, and 1t was the general impression that
