Indianapolis, Aug. 24. - Noah Baney, an ex-convict, it waiting in the Marión county jail for a Hendrícks county grand jury to indict him. He says that he, with two others - Guy Van Tassel and "Kid" Whitney - were the real slayers of Mrs. Thurza Hinshaw. Van Tassel is in jail with him, both having been rearrested recently upon the expiration of a term of prison life brought on by stealing. Van Tassel says Baney is a common liar and that he (Van Tassel) had nothing to do with the killing of Mrs. Hinshaw. He expresses the opinión that the real killer was Rev. William Hinshaw, who is now in the penitentiary serving a life sentence for the crime. Hatchiner of the Sehme. Hinshaw and Baney were in the prison hospital together and there, according to Van Tassel, the scheme was hatched which Baney is trying to carry out - i. e., to cast deep suspicion on the verdict under which Hinshaw was sent to priscn, and eventually to lead to the pardon of Hinshaw. Baney and Van Tassel will be indicted early in September, and their trial promises to add a sensational chapter to the most celebrated criminal case in the history of the state. It promises to revive tha tense feeling that prevailed during Hinshaw's trial. Every man and woman in Hendricks county held an opinión as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant preacher. Families feil out over the case, and lifetime friendships were sundered by the difference of views on this one subject of interest. Now that Baney has "confessed" the old contention has been aroused and many families, not only in Hendricks county, but throughout central Indiana, and many newspapers are in a ferment over the pcssible outcome of the second trial.
