The preliminary hearing OF harry
Rynds. who shot and mortally
wounded Walter j. Dinwoodey in the
formers home early Sunday morning
took place before Judge Wenger yes
terday. and resulted in the defendant
being bound over to the district court
with bail fixed at $4,000. which was
promptly furnished.
There were some new features
brought out at the hearing which We're
not generally learned on the previous
day on account Of the refusal of par
ties who were in the house to talk for
publication. Notably among the new
facts was the statement of Miss Annie
Greene. the colored servant girl at the
Hynds residence. who testified that
from five TO eight minutes transpired
from the time Hynds first discovered
Dinwoodey until the fatal shots We're
fired.
Another point which, if substanti-
ated. will be of material Importance,
was the statement of Mrs. Hynds, who
believed the husband had no gun on
his person when he entered the house,
but upon discovering Mr.. Dinwoodey,
went INTO his bed chamber and pro
cured it, Outside of this the story
brought out by the hearing yesterday
did not differ in any particular from
that published through these columns
yesterday morning.
Although the time of the hearing had
been set for 10 o'clock in the morning,
it was fully II 80 when all was in readi-
ness. The defendant who had spent
the night in Chief Pratt's private Of
flee. came into court with his attorney,
Judge Powers. The prosecution was
represented by Assistant County At
torney Harrington. and John NJ. Zane,
while James H. Moyle acted as counse-
lor- Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Pratt was also present during the early
part of the hearing, but did not take
much active interest in re prosecu-
ton
After the complaint had been
amended by inserting the word ''un-
lawfully and adding an initial to Din
woodey's name, it was read. Mr..
Hynds rose to his feet and in firm
tone uttered the words mot guilty"
when asked to plead. The taking Of
testimony was then begun before a
crowd that packed. the court room.
COMMISSIONER NOBLE.
The first witness put on the stand
Twas eX-CornimSsiOner w z. Noble.
fT5is story was substantially as printed
{ - inc
his daughter called him he went over
TO the house and met Mr.. HyndS on
the front porch. The latter was agi-
+ated and said he found Walter Din
1voodev in bed with mis- wife and he
had shot him. Mr.. Noble then went
inside and met Mrs. HyndS, who was
crying and .nervously pacing up and
down the hallway, talking IN an IN
coherent manner and bemoaning the
awful tragedy. Upon asking Mrs.
Hynds where Walter was. she pointed
back TO the bathroom and going there
found the man in a cramped position,
his head leaning against the frame
work surrol nding the bathtub- The
wounded man was uttering terms OF
endearment such as ''Oh darling Maude,
come to your suffering boy" He kept
this up continually.
Witness said he asked Mrs. Hynds
for some pillows and she brought them
which were placed under Walters
head after he was Strengthened out
Then the doctor was sent for and he
arrived on the scene shortly afterward.
Mr. Noble was closely questioned re-
garding the attire of the deceased, TO
which he stated that he had on his
shoes, pants and vest, but the latter
was unbuttoned. He did not wear
collar and his necktie was clutched
in his hand. Mr.. Noble then remain
ed there until young Dinwoodey was
taken 10 the hospital. When the am
bulance drove up, witness asked Mrs.
Hynds for Walters clothes and she
produced them from the closet in which
the unfortunate man was attempting
TO hide when the husband surprised
him.
