MINISTER CAUGHT IN A LIE.
Murderer Hlnshaw's Scheme to Escape
Punishment Fails.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept 2S-The
Danville grand jury has filed it's report
on the recent investigation which had
for its object a pardon for the Rev w
E. Hinshaw, who murdered his wife
two years ago and laid the crime on
alleged burglars. All the testimony
was made public and it shows that the
eX-preacher was caught in a lie by the
grand jury, being completely trapped
when he told his story. 1t was attempt
ed by Hinshaw's lawyers to make it
appear that convict Noah Baney, on
his own confession, was with a gang
Of burglars who entered Hinshaw' S
house the night of the murder. Baney
denied the truth of his confession and
said he was offered 81 900 if his story
would free Hinshaw. He slept at the
prison three weeks side by side with
Hlnshaw and was coached in his story.
Hlnshaw also drew diagram of his
house and showed it to Baney. This
diagram Hinshaw also showed to DR..
Spinning, the prison physician, telling
him Of the Baney incident. To the
grand jury, however, Hinshaw denied
that any one had ever seen the plan
save DR.. Spinning, who, it seems, had
been expected to help the Hinshaw
people. The grand jury's report has
caused sensation, as the case had
been discussed throughout the state
and HinsEaw's friends have been con-
fident the minister would at last prove
his innocence. 1t is now believed he is
worse off than when lie was sentenced
for life.
