"embalmed" beef, cold storage vege.
tables and foods preserved through |
the medium of sterilization, When |
the test is completed, Or. Wiley hopes |
to prove that food cannot be preserv-
ed to advantage longer than one year,
and some descriptions much less than
this
"ln M opinion, under no oiroum- |
stances should food be preserved for
a longer period than one year." says |
Prof Wiley. In lha first place, it is
not fair to agriculture Nature fur
nishe5 us with a fresh supply of ev.
erythirg once a yeac md why should
we preserve that s.pG'y to last more
than twelvemontl.'
Those who are to De guests at Dr.
Wiley's feasts will give their services
voluntarily They will live with the
scientist and subsist exclusively On
the diet prepared in his own kitchen
At the end of the year their judgment
as to the quality, taste and condition
of the various kinds of preserN ed food
will be taken, and their physical con
dition throughout the test will be a
matter for careful note,
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 2S.-The
principal matter before the quarterly
meeting OF the board of pardons, in
session at the capitol today, is a peti.
ton for the pardon of William e. Hin
shaw, the Methodist minister who is
serving a life sentence in the state
prison at Michigan City for the muir
Ter Of his wife. The petition is signed
by persons of prominence and intlu.
ence throughout the state, and strong
hopes are expressed that it may result
in the release of the convicted man
The Hinshaw murder is one of the
remarkable crimes in Indiana history,
and. although Hinshaw was convicted,
and Tie supreme court approved the
finding of the trial court, there are
many persons who continue to believe
Hinshaw innocent of the crime.
The murder occurred at Belleyille,
Hendricks county, a few miles south
of Danyille about l a. m, January 10,
1895. tlnshaw's story was that burg.
lars got into the house and that he
and his wife had desperate fight with
them Mrs Hinshaw was found dead
on the back steps OF the parsonage
where they lived, ayd Hinshaw was
ti'. with a razo'
and shot ,wice. '
The trial occupied five weeks, the
; theory of the prosecution being thai

threw herself down on the bed and
was shot by her husband, who inlici

The burglar story; that he carried her
to the place where she was found AMI
, then gave the alarm.
After the penitentiary doors had
nlo- ! on Hinshaw, his friends anc
atiyes hired Pinkerton detectives
n an effort to run down the alleged
burglars and thereby prove the limo
cence of the convicted man. After
working for several weeks without ac.
complishing anything the detectives in.

tnat it Wa useless to search further
for the robbers; that there was noJ
The slightest clue from which to start.
The killing had been done with Hin.
shaw's revolver. Hinshaw had beed
slashed with his own ra2or-there was
not anything on which an investiga-

Hope was given to the convicted
mans friends about three years ago
when a notorious burglar who had
been confined in the Michigan City
prison made an alleged confession in
which he stated that he was a member
Of gang that entered the Hinshaw
home on the night Of the crime and
that they perpetrated the murder Of
Mrs. Hnshaw and the assault on the
minister. This led to a re-opening Of
The celebrated case. Hinshaw was
brought back from prison and the
man who made the confession was
brought to indianapolis and subjected
to a rigid cross-eXaminatiOn After the
fullest investigation the authorities
were convinced that the confession
vas a pure fake, Concocted for the
purpose of obtaining notoriety or d
possible release from the term of i'm.
Drisonment he was then serving. Hin.
shaw was returned to the penitentiary,
where he remained until last fall,
when he was given a sixty-day parole
by Gov Durbn that he might visit his
aged mother, who was then thought
to be on her deathbed.
