REV. WILLIAM T. dlNSdAW.
ular young preacher because of the tragic
death of his beautiful wife. The crime
was heraldcd abroad as the work Of des-
perate burglars, and for six weeks no sus-
picion whatever was attached to the
preacher.
But one man doubted his innocence.
That was Harry G. Webster, q Danville
detective. He said nothing, but labored
night and day, and during the third week
in February he applied for warrant
charging w. E. Hinshaw with murder.
The preachers trial commenced Sept. 4,
1895, and continued until Oct. 2. Expert
medical testimony went to show that it
would have been impossible for Mrs. Hin
shaw to have fought the burglars after
having been shot through the head.
The motive for the crime was supplied
by the attorneys for the prosecution, who
attempted to show that Hinshaw had be-
come infatuated with handsome young
woman of Belleville, and the preachers
own actions tended to further this theory.
The case made out by tho state was SO
strong that Hinshaw was convicted and
sentenced to imprisonment for life.
The case became q noted one. Many
doubted the guilt Of the prisoner. Others
firmly believed that he had killed his wife
for the sake of the young woman in ques
tion Many things happened to bring the
case to light after Hinshaw was taken to
the penitentiary, and when Baney's al
legged confession was made a short time
ago there were hundreds to say, II told
you So"
Baney sent for a lawyer and made such
a detailed statement of the crime that
there seemed to be no doubt of it's truth.
He offered to go over the ground and
point out the actions Of himself and his
two alleged confederates, Guy Van Tassel
and Kid Whitney, and for this purpose he
was released from the penitentiary under
guard for a period Of five days. His ex-
Iplanation was SO satisfactory that legal
steps were being taken to free the preach
Ier, when William Short, brother-an law
of Baney, stepped in and killed the whole
proceedings by an affidavit showing the
utter falsity Of Baney's confession.
Baney, 1t Is said, made overtures to Hin
SHAW, and took upon himself the RESPONSE
Utility of making q confession, with the
hope of being enabled to escape from pris-
ion. Hinshaw furnished q plan Of his
house and coached Baney in the details Of
the confession he was to make.
Ono remarkable feature Of the case Is
the separation It caused between the pa
rents Of Mrs. Hinshaw., Her father be-
lieved the preacher guilty Of the murder
lof his daughter. Her mother did not.
This caused an estrangement, and they
were divorced about q month ago.
