ing TO Van Tassel the scheme was
hatched which Baney is trying to car
nv OUT. e., to cast deep suspicion on
the verdict under which Hinshaw was
sent to prison, and eventually to lead

Van Tassel will be indicted early in

add a sensational chapter to the most
celebrated criminal case in the history
of the state 1t promises to revive the
tense feeling that prevailed during Hin
shaw's trial. Every man and woman in
Hendricks county held an opinion as to
the guilt OF innocence Of the defendant
preacher. Families fell out over the
case and lifetime friendships were sun

one subject of interest. Now that
Baney has confessed" the old conten-

lilies, not only in Hendricks county, but
throughout central Indiana, and many
newspapers are in a ferment over the
possible outcome of the second trial.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 9-At Q gen.
cral meeting of the Cotton Manufac-
turers' association yesterday it was
voted unanimously to reduce all wages
in the mills Of the city, the amount
and time of the reduction being left
to committee which for some time
has had charge of the matter. 1t Is
understood that the cut will be not
less than 10 per cent. and that it will
go into effect on Jan. /. The cut will

The price of print cloths for a long
time has been the lowest in the his
tory of the trade. while the demand
has been only fair. Under these con-
ditions the mills have been selling at
loss. and the stock of goods has been
increasing.
The manufacturers committee OBJ
tained the signature of every manufac-
turer in the city except one, who Is
understood to be ID. A. Brayton, of the
Durfee mill, a private corporation. As
no reduction could be ordered without
the consent of every mill. the commit
tee decided to report back to the as
sociation. This was done at the gen.
eral meeting yesterday, and the COM
mittee received the unanimous ap-
proval of the association upon its sug-
gestion that reduction be made.
The attitude of the employees on the
matter can hardly be stated until they
have had "a chance to talk 1t over, and
none of the labor leaders will say much
about the subject until meetings have
been held. The feeling Is prevalent
that before the matter is settled there
will be a strike.
