TIE STATES SIDE.
The State will be represented by o. z.
Guiley, prosecuting attorney; Thomas J.
Cofer, c. c. Hadley and Henry Spaan, of
Indianapolis The State will move upon the
theory, it is believed that there was a
woman in the case, and that Hinshaw killed
his wife on this account. 1t is believed that
the State will agree with the defense in
that Mrs. Hinshaw was shot in bed, the
State claiming that he carried her body
where it was found. Both will agree that
the woman was lying on her face when
shot, and the State will ask why sleeping
woman lying on her face, should have been
shot by burglars who had secured their
booty and had nothing to do but to depart.
The State will insist that to have been shot
by burglars, the revolver must have been
held over and behind Mr.. Hinshaw, placed
on a level with her head and then carefully
fired, and the burglar to have jumped away
in time to escape Mr.. Hinshaw's notice.
The State will introduce the pillowslip upon
which Mrs. Hinshaw slept. 1t bears two
distinct powder burns. They are about
three and a half inches apart. 1t will be
claimed that one burn was made by the
flash from the chamber of the revolver.
while the other was made by the flash
from the barrel, the distance between be-
ing the length of pistol barrel. The State
will insist that had the pistol been held at
greater distance there would have been only
one powder burn. The State Will endeavor
TO show that there were no tracks found.
and that the snow was srcrsy deep enough
for tracks to be easily seen. 1t is asserted
that the State will introduce a witness who
will claim that he was in a position to look
down the street across which Hinshaw says
he fought with the burglar directly after
one; that he changed his position and lost
sight of the street for a minute or two,
and that when he looked again he saw Hin
foundation the State will argue that Hin
shaw ran across the street after firing the
shot himself Within the last few days
the States attorneys have sawed out a
portion of a sill in the Hinshaw wood
house. This sill was one that formed the
lower part OF a window looking upon the
u.
articles found out of this window into the
street. 1t is argued that from here
Hinshaw threw his trousers. What is on
this sill that the State should want it is
not known, but some assert that human
blood has been found on it, 1t is said that
there will be evidence that Hinshaw was
State seems to be resting easily. 1t is
said there will be evidence that Hinshaw
has told several stories about the ARRAY,
these stories differing in essential points.
CLAIMS OF THE DEFENSE.
The defense will be represented by Enoch
G. Hogate, James l.. Clark James o. Par
ker and John S. Duncan, of Indianapolis.
They are confident Of the acquittal of their
client, and are fully as easy over the pros
poets of the trial the State. They will
urge Hinshaw's unquestioned reputation as
a man in all ways. From his Randolph
county home they will bring the best peo-
pie to testify in what high esteem Mr.. Hin
shaw was held. This evidence will be cor
roborated by good citizens Of this county.
They will urge the happy married life of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hinshaw, which no cloud ever
darkened; that, indeed, SO fond were they
of each other that their attachment was a
matter of laughing comment by their
friends. No one. it is claimed, can be pro-
duced who knew of trouble between them
in any manner. His wife was Of great as
sistance in his church work, and greatly
beloved by all. 1t is claimed that Mrs.
Cornwell, resident of Belleville, will test
ify that she saw Mr.. Hinshaw fighting with
two men, just as he swears he did, and
that she saw them leave, as he says If
she so swears, her evidence will be in di-
rect contradiction to that Of the unknown
witness upon whom the State is depend
ing so much. 1t is said to be fact that
Mrs. Cornwell locates the two men where
Hinshaw did, and that her story agrees
with the surroundings in so far as 1t Is
possible The defense will try to show that
the snow fell after the tragedy, and that
for this reason tracks could be found.
On the matter of amount Of snowfall there
will be some fat contradictory evidence.
The defense, it is believed, will urge that
some one saw Mr.. Hinshaw display his
money thoughtless1y in some public place.
and thus the burglars knew he had money.
The defense will claim that to use Mr..
Hinshaw's own weapons would be the act
of amateur thieves, as no one claims that
the guilty persons were more than novices
in crime. The location of the various ar
ticles found in the yard. the defense will
urge precludes any possibility or Mr. Hin
shaw having committed the crime. The ra-
zor was some thirty feet down the road
from the trousers, and the pocketbook
