HANGING OR ACauITTAL.
No Medal Verdict IL Wanted in the
Rinkard Murder Case.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Feb. 1S.-For the first
time since the beginning of his trial John
Rinkard. the Marion wife murderer. to-day
betrayed nervousness and excitement under
the excoriation of the attorneys for the
State. Prosecutor Amsden, of Marion.
opened his address this afternoon with the
language Of the verdict he desired the jury
to return. He asked that it find Rinkard
guilty of murder in the first degree. and
that the death penalty be inflicted. He
then reviewed the life of Rinkard from the
time of his marriage until after the muir
der, and his references to savagery which
marked his domestic career deeply affected
the crowd in the courtroom In concluding
his address Prosecutor Amsden made a
highly dramatic exhibit of Rinkard's cloth
Ing, worn on the day of the murder, and
OF the heart. containing the bullet hole.
The speeches of Mr.. Peterson, OF Deca-
tur, and Mr.. kersey, of Marion. for the
prisoner this morning were impassioned
pleas Tor acquittal. Both lawyers declared
that there was no intermediate punish
ment-that If the jury found Rinkard guilty
they must hang him, while II insane he
should be acquitted and committed to an
insane hospital. This position was regard
ed as remarkable by outside lawyers, and
If the jury concludes to hang Rinkard tile
impression is that IL will be because the
attorneys refused to demand life imprison-
ment. Mr.. kerSey spoke two hours and
Mr.. Peterson hour and half. This
afternoon Prosecutor Amsden made his ar
gument. He closed soon after 3 o'clock.
and brief recess was taken. At 3:40
Judge Shively began reading his charge.
which consumed forty minutes. It COW
cred the law points in the case fully, and
instructed the jury in the consideration of
the question of insanity. The jury retired
at 41o. and it is not thought likely the
verdict will be reached tonight
