Tho full dinner pat! pledge made to
tho workmen of tho country by the
Bepublloao campaign managora four
yoaia ago, In the plea for rotes to coo-
tinoo tho Republican administration,
has proved nothing more than an un
fulfilled promise. Trade stragnatlon
and attendant armies of Idle workers
are evident In all of the busincps cen
tres of the country.
Pacts gathered by The World from
every Industrial section of the nation
show that there are hundreds of thou-
sandhi pf empty dinner pails, a larger
number of half-filled dinner pails and
a rapidly shrinking proportion of full
dinner palls.
The pledge that good times would
endure so loog ss the Republican
'party was kept at the helm was splen
didly exploited. Thp full-dinner-pail
promise was etouted in the ears-of-tbe
workingmen from every 'speakers
stand treated during the campaign.
It wse a bait that appeared aUdilng-
ly In all of the campaign 4lter*ture.
The workingman was to have cease
less work. There wse to be ^either
idleness nor want The mills were to
he kept running every work day In the
week and on full time every day. ' It
was to be four years of plenty and
abundance.
Business was to boom. Failures were
to decrease. Tbs wheels of trade and
commerce were to whirl at their at
most capacity.
It was a splendid word picture that
the Allied orator* so artfully paluted.
All that the workingmen had to do to
bring to htmielf four yean of gllfc-
edged prosperity was to vote the Re
publican ticket. Then he need worry
no longer about the dinner pall for
himself or family. 4 -.*■

Notwithstanding the fact that over
160,000,000 of American gold has been
sent abroad sinoer April 1, there Is
stnra plethora Of idle capital here.
Were business going Along at a nor

idle. It would be requl ed by the

remarkable crimes in Indiana history,
and, fltbcugb Hlnshaw was convicted
and tbe Supreme Court approved the
finding of the trill court, there are
many persons who cmtlnue to believe
Hlnshaw innooent of the crime.
The muader occurred at Belleville,
Hendricks tounty, a few miles south
of Danville; about 1 a. m., January 10,
1895. Hinsaaw’s story was that bur-
glxrt got into the house, and that he
aud bis wife had a desperate fight
with them. Mrs. Hlmhaw was found
dead on the back steps of the par
sonage where they lived, and Hln
shaw was slashed eighteen times with
a razor and shot twice.
The trial occupied five weeks, the
theory of the pn seoutlon b. ing that
Hlnshaw and his wife quarrelei over
another woman, that Mtg. Hlnshaw
threw herself down on the bed and
was shot by her husband, who in
flicted the wounds on himself tq carry
out the burglar story; that he carried
her to the place whre she was found
ahd then gave the alarm.
After tbe penitentiary, doors had
dosed on Hlnshaw his ft lends- and
relatives hired Pinkerton detectives
in an effort to run. down the alleged
burglars and then by prove tbe inno
cence of the convicted man^ After
working tor several weeks without ac
compllsblng anything the detectives
informed those interested In tbe case
that It was useless to search further
f r the robbers, that there was not
the slightest clew from which to
start. Tbe kililog had been done with
Hinabaw’s revolver. Hlnshaw had
been slashed with his own razor—there
was not anything on which an in
vestigation could be beg*l.'
Hope was given tq the convicted,
lean’s friends abuut three years ago
when a notorious burglar who bad
been coofloed in tbe Michigan City
prison made an alleged confession in
which be stated that be was a mem
ber of a gang that entered the Hln
shaw home on the night of the crime
and that they perpetrated the murder
of Mra Hinsbsw and the assault on
the minister. This led to a reopening
of the celebrated case. Hlnshaw was
brought baok from prison and tbe man
who made tbe confession was brought
to Indianapolis and subjected to a
rigid 4Nas examioation. After tbe
fullest investigation the authorities
were convinced thaMhe confession
was a pure fake concocted for the. pur
pose of obtaining notoriety dr a pcs
stole release'from the term of Impris
onment toe-was then serving. Hln
shaw wse returned to the penitentiary
where, he remained until last fall,
when he was given a sixty-day panda
by Governor Durbin, that he might
visit his aged mother, who was than
though! to be on her deathbed. *
