HINSHAW WILL TESTIFY
THE CONVICTED MINISTER TO BE
TAKEN TO DANVILLE TOMORROW.
Grand Jury to Investigate Baney
StOry-PrOsecutOr GuIIey's Attitude
Carrie James Is Distressed.

The Hendricks county grand jury, which
is to investigate the story of Noah Baney
the ex-convict, who asserts that William
&. Hinshaw is innocent of the murder of
his wife, will take up the case tomorrow
or Friday. Hinshaw himself is to go before
the grand jury, and for this purpose he will
be removed from the northern prison to
DanVille tomorrow. 1t is expected the
jury will hear him on Friday. Hinshaws
lawyers feel that his appearance will be
point in his favor. A considerable preju-
dice was aroused against the preacher
during his trial, because he did not take
the witness stand. His attorneys say he is
now anxious to subject himself to this
grand jury examination. 1t is said that
Hinshaw wished to testify at his trial. but
did not do so on the advice Of his att0r
neys.
J. o. Parker of Danville, and Union B.
Hunt of Winchester, the convicted minis
ter's attorneys were in the city last night
looking up evidence to place before the
jury. Attorney Parker is not very well
satisfied with the stand taken by Prose
cutor Gulley, of Hendricks county, in reia-
ton to the case. The prosecutor insists on
conducting the examination of Noah Baney
when the latter is called by the grand jury,
instead of having an assistant appointed
by the court. as Hinshaw's lawyers have
requested him to do. The attorneys con-
tend that Gulley, having aided in the pros
ecution of Hinshaw during his trial, can
not now conduct an unprejudiced inVestlsa-
ton before the grand jury.
The Danville attorneys assert that Pros
ecutor Gulley some time ago was inter-
viewed by the representative of an Indian
inGnqof9d n
proved the manuscript before it was sent
in to the newspaper office. This inter-
VIEW said Attorney Parker last night,
led us to believe that the prosecutor ex-
poets to do all that he to tear down
the Baney story We had about made up
our minds to consent to his presenting this
evidence to the grand jury until that inter
view came out"
Hinshaws attorneys say they met Prose
cutor Gulley by appointment last SATURDAY
when he fatty declined to appoint an assist
ant for this case The attorneys say IT Is
understood that Judge Hadley, or the Hen
bricks Circuit Court is disposed TO take Is
sue with the prosecutor, and is In FAVOR or
appointing a special lawyer to examine
Baney and the other witnesses produced by
Hinshaw's attorneys. Judge Hadiey, II is
said has suggested that an Indianapolis
LAWYER be selected for this duty. Mr.. Far
ker says the feeling in Hendricks county,
as far as he can learn, is against GuIey III
MS U6ClSlOII.
Mr. Parker has not had an interview with
Baney since the latter was here on nve
days parole, four weeks ago. Baney mas
declined to see the Danville lawyer once or
twice lately, but has politely referred rec !, nun I'M
to II. C. Cox, who, Baney says, is ms Jaw
YER Baney and Van Tassel will both be
taken to Hendricks county and given wen an mop OPP
portunity to go into the grand Jury rooI I
A number of other witnesses Will De sun

+,,Sa of Carrie James the former sweet
heart Of Noah Baney. Mr.. Parker says her
testimony is important, but it IS not certain 1
that she will consent to go before the grand
iury. In fact, the woman has already re-
belied. and it is said she has threatened 70
commit suicide if attempt Is MADE 10

She is married, and lives In West lndlanap-
oils one of Hinshaws lawyers says tnat
tte woman's husband has declared ms IN

that the case will have to be presented a,. 70
