Five Witnesses Testify as to Hinshaw and aYoung Lady.Danville, Sept. 16.—The defense has opened its case in the Hinshaw murder trial and for the first time the state wasiinformed of just what its theory would be. Hinshaw will tell the same story that was told before the coroner—that burglars entered his home and shot his wife, which awakened him, and that then he struggled through the house and across the street, receiving seventeen cuts with a razor and two shots from a revolver. The defense will try to overthrow the evidence of the state as to the possibility or even probability of tracking burglars. Among the last witnesses examined were five who testified to the “woman in the case,” and their testimony was direct and positive.After Cyrus Callahan and Alvia Cornwall had testified that there were no tracks in the snow other than tho£e made by the defendant and those who had gone out at the alarm the sensational feature so long promised developed. Lennie Rushton, aged 13, swore that she had scon Allie Ferreo at her sister’s in Indianapolis. Hinshaw came there and she saw him and Miss Ferree sitting on the sofa. Hinshaw had his arm around Allie. The defense could not tangle the little witness on a single statement. Mr. and Mrs. Hufferd both testsfled that they saw Miss Ferree come out of an alley near Hinshaw*s house one night after 12 o’clock. Mrs. .Hinshaw .wasmjt oHaiwn at^this .time and Hinshaw^ was at homo.Miss Otia Rushton testified that about a year ago Mrs. Hinshaw went to Danville. Hinshaw was sick at the time. He sent the Rushton girl out after Miss Ferree, and was alone with her for an hour. Roscoo Winsted, a brother of Mrs. Hufferd, testified that ho saw Allie Ferree coming out of the back way from Hin-shaw’s house one night at 2 o’clock The state also put in Hinshaw’s testimony before the coroner’s jury, and with the exception of a witness who is absent restedits case. _nviTir nv .fnnv nr mm vnRfsi
