DANVILLE, Ind, Sept. 13.-There is
rumor of attempted bribery in the Hinshaw
Investigation. The story is that Prose-
cutting Attorney Gulley was told if certain
things were done he would be rewarded, not
by SO or $50 or $1o0, but literally. Mr.. Gull
ley was asked about the matter and he
said: Il have nothing to say"
When asked if the attention of the court
will be called to it, he replied: mot that
1 know of, but should the grand jury be
appraised Of it, it will probably be investi-
gated
Judge Hadley was seen and replied to
a question asking him what he knew of
the affair: Il have nothing to say, either
to affirm or deny"
]. o. Parker, Hinshaw's lawyer, declares
that he knows nothing whatever about the
affair. Mr.. Parker said: 'E G. Hogate
spoke of something of the kind which
Judge Hadley had told him. You should
see Mr.. Rogate.''
Mr. Hogate was found and said he had
been told by Judge Hadley that Prosecutor
Gu1ley had told him (the judge that he
had been approached with. indecent
proposition. In other words If he would
surrender his office during this investiga-
ton and allow person, whose name was
not given, to conduct the examination, he
would be literally rewarded.
This has been a feverish day in the in
vestigation among those interested in the
grand jury, and what tomorrow may bring
forth no one knows. Hinshaw himself Is
expected to go before the grand jury and
the developments may be sensational
Mrs. Short sister of Noah Baney, the
Indianapolis convict, together with ner
husband, was examined to-day by the grand
jury. Jacob Dunn, of the Sentinel, was ex-
amined as to what he saw at Belevlle the
night Baney was there H c. Cox, Baney's
attorney, came in at noon. Mr.. Cox had a
list of names which he had left with
Mr.. Gulley. They were the names of people
whom he wanted called before the grand
jury. Mr. Cox said: "Baney and Van
Tassel will be here when wanted. They are
poor boys and l have to pay their way
mere"
When asked why Baney told the story he
did, Mr.. Cox replied: Mr.. Baney has never
made any confession. Matter was dictated
in his presence and he nodded assent. The
only thing he signed was a statement about
the dates of his arrest. II anything else is
in the statement it was added since"
He said that Baney is an invalid and was
led to believe that six months would be
added to his sentence for his attempt to es
cape, and one of the inducements held out
that this six months would be taken off
if he told about the Belleville matter. Baney
believed this statement, and also believed
that he could not live six months longer in
prison Mr.. Cox continued: 1.-THE offer of
few days release from prison to go to
Beleville was in itself something of an in
ducement for him to do he has done.
Besides, there was consideration, as men
toned in my interview in Sundays Jour-
nal
Mr.. Cox animated that there had been
an effort to have Baney leave the country,
and said: Il firmly believe Baney could
receive $500 within twenty-four hours if he
would leave"
Mr.. Cox expressed himself as believing
that everything would be explained to the
satisfaction of every one when the boys
are before the grand jury.
