"W P|CTUBE PUZZI£ r*';- n: IS RELEASED Minister Is Paroled From tits Northern Indiana State's ,-i- Prison. ! ' ^r WAS SERVING A LIFE SENTENCE Marguerite Awaits Her Sister. Where Is 8he? TELLS OF TO GET Car Barn Murderer Seeks to Secure Money for His Mother, GAMBLERS PROVE EASY PREY Forces Dealer to Give Up 8atchel Containing $7,000 at Winnemucca, Nev., and Joins Crowd in Seeking for Bandit After the Alarm. Chicago special: Endeavoring for his mother's benefit to collect tho re­ wards offered in connection with mur­ ders and robberies planned and exe- cut«d by himself and his "pals," Peter Niedermyer spent Sunday in "winding up his business affairs," as he terms it. He hopes to secure for her $3,300. His calm announcement that he had held up a gambling house in Winne­ mucca, Nev., shooting the proprietor and getting away with about $7,000, while amid the clang of bells the whole town was in uproarious pursuit, astounded the police, and the informa­ tion that two of his followers, each as desperate*as any now in custody, are still at large, caused them new anxi­ ety. Tells of Crimes. After gaining the assurance of Cap­ tain Riley of the Chicago & North­ western police that his mother would get the $500 reward offered in con­ nection with the hold-up of the Cly- bourn Junction station and the wound­ ing of George W. Lathrop, the ticket agent, and hinting that he knew more than he mentioned, he told of several crimes, the rewards for which foot up $3,300. "I want to know that my mother will be cared for after I am hanged," said he. "I am guilty of crimes of which you know nothing and for which innocent men are now suffer­ ing. There are rewards offered for my capture and conviction. If you will guarantee me that these rewards will go to mother, I will convict my­ self. I will confess crimes that will startle you." He outlined the crimes he spoke of in a way that only one who was concerned in them could do. But he refused to divulge the names of his partners in crime, pending proof that his mother would get the reward. Stage Coach Robbery. By far the greater part of Neider- myer's "estate." however, is very much in "Spain." for the rewards of­ fered require the arrest and convic­ tion of the criminals. About nine months ago, he says, he and a des­ perado still at liberty whom the po­ lice fear, held up a western stage coach near Butler, Nev., taking the strong box from the Wells-Fargo mes­ senger. The representative of the express company refused to give the reward to Mrs Niedermyer, but the bandit still believes he may get it. He de­ clares that an Innocent man Is sus­ pected of being his accomplice, and the police, fearing that the real high­ wayman may come unknown to Chi­ cago and endeavor to free Nieder­ myer, would like to see the reward paid. The same situation exists re­ garding the train hold-up at Edge- water. His Greatest Exploit.

Bryan in fiis issue of the Commoner suggests John W. Bookwalter of Springfield, O., for the Democratic nomination for president and Inspector Lavin was his single- handed capture of a gambling-house In Winnemucca, Nev., shortly after the Butler job. Edging around to be as near the "bank" as possible, Niedermyer drew his two automatic revolvers, and, cov­ ering the roomful of brmed men with one weapon, menaced the lookout with the other, ordering him to descend. Scarcely had he complied when the young bandit put away one gun and made a grab for a satchel of money. The proprietor started to run for the rear door at this, and Niedermyer hit him in the back of the head, the bul­ let glancing. The man went down, but rolled to an alarm box, and, turn­ ing a switch, set a great gong on the corner to ringing. Escapes With Money. In the confusion Niedermyer reached the rear door with the money; ran down a dark street to an alley; tore off his mask, and trans­ ferred the money, amounting, as he Eays he found later, to about $7,000, to his pockets; walked calmly among the excited inhabitants of the town, making a pretense of joining In the pursuit in order to get safely away. A reward of $1,000 for the capture of the highwayman is said to have been offered by the Winnemucca authori­ ties. Special Agent W. Riley of the Chi­ cago and Northwestern railway prom­ ised him that Mrs. Niedermyer should be given the reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the Clybourn station robbers after Neidermyer de­ tailed the robbery to them and ex­ onerated Dolle of SU Louis, who Is now under indictment. Compliments Victim. Night Operator M. E. Dougherty and Ticket Agent George W. Lathrop, the victims of the robbers at the Cly­ bourn station hold-up, were present during Neidermyer'8 confession, going over with him in detail the robbery and the shooting. "Lathrop. you put up the gamest fight of, any man I ever met since I was in the business," said Niedermy- er. "Well, it's hard to own up that I was mistaken when I identified the band of Dolle as the one which shot me," Lathrop returned. "But I know now for certain that Dolle was not implicated and that you are the man." After enacting the entire robbery as a play before Chief O'Neill, Inspector Lavin and Assistant Chief Scheuttler, Niedermyer, showing where he stood and how he shot and wrestled with Lathrop, just as on the night of the robbery, Niedermyer said to Special Agent Riley: "Now, how about that $500? You've seen the show. Does mother get it?" Promise of Reward. "Well, I want you to have it," said Riley, "but technically I don't see how you can get It. The reward is for the arrest and conviction. You didn't ai> rest yourself and I don't see how you can convict yourself." "You deceived me," Niedermyer be­ gan, when Chief O'Neill interrupted him. "Don't worry now, Niedermyer," said the chief. "You've had a prom­ ise. No one will commit a breach of frith. Mr. Riley, it's worth $500 to your company, this confession. It frees an innocent man under convic­ tion. Niedermyer should be shown sontie consideration." "He will be," said Riley, as he left the station. "Here's another little stick-up I hap­ pened to think of," said Niedermyer, Just before he went to his cell. "A fellow on Irving Park boulevard tried to beat me up one night a year ago. He said he'd lick me. I put a gun In his face and took about $2 away from him, and his watch." Germans • Annex Territory.

Had Been Convicted of Slaying Hlk ... Wife, Although He Claimed She Was , the Victim of Men Who Had Invaded His Home. Indianapolis, Ind., dispatchi " jfcvJ William E. Hlnshaw was released oik parole Friday from the Northern pris­ on, where he has been serving a life, sentence for the murder of his wife. This is probably the closing chapter in one of the most sensational dnmeii tic tragedies that ever occurred In diana. y In 1895 Hinshaw was the pastor ot the Methodist church at Belleville, Hendricks county. He was a pulpit orator of much ability, and had many friends among the members of all de­ nominations. On the night of Jan. 15 he preached'to a country congregation, and at the door of the church one of the members invited him and his wife to his home for the night. The min­ ister declined the invitation, but in­ sisted that his wife accept it, but she refused with so much vehemence that it attracted attention at the time and was recalled afterward. About 1 o'clock the next morning the people of Belleville were startled by a cry of murder, and when they reached the parsonage they found Hin­ shaw in the yard bleeding from a bul­ let wound in the side and a number of knife cuts. "His wife, Thurza, was ly­ ing in the kitchen doorway with a bul­ let in her brain. The minister said he had been awak­ ened by a pistol shot as Mrs. Hln­ shaw exclaimed, "Oh, Will, I'm shot!" He sprang from the bed and grap­ pled with one of two men in the room, and Mrs. Hlnshaw engaged in a struggle with the other one. The fight was through the house into thct street, where the man who had been struggling with Mrs. Hinshaw ap­ peared and fired a bullet into the minister's side. The men then es­ caped. The furniture in the house gave evidence of a struggle. A diligent search for the murderer was made, and, though a light snow bad fallen that night, no tracks could be found leading to the scene. The next day the minister's revolver and razor were found in the yard. These facts excited suspicion, and it waa said he and Mrs. Hinshaw had had frequent differences over his atten­ tions to a member of his congrega­ tion. A detective swore out a war­ rant against the minister, but the people were so indignant they drove the detective out of town. The grand jury subsequently took the matter up and Hinshaw was in­ dicted. Protests from the church peo­ ple followed, but the conviction of his guilt grew daily, and many of hie best friends deserted him.. Though the law gave Hinshaw the privilege of testifying in his own behalf, he did not go on the stand, and this was construed into a confession of guilt. After sentence his friends began to work for his release. Governor* Matthews and Mount were appealed to for a pardon, and both refused to grant it. Many still believe in Hin­ shaw's innocence.
