From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 6, 1913:

• “‘We find the defendant, Thomas Justin Hinshaw, guilty on the first count charged in the information, namely, that he aided and abetted James Henderson in passing a bogus check on Edward E. Brown on which was obtained $17.50 in credit and $32.50 in cash…. We find the defendant guilty on the second count, namely aiding and abetting James Henderson in passing a bogus check on Edward E. Parsons on which was obtained $35 in money and credit.’ The above is the substance of the verdict returned in the Hinshaw case at 5:30 last night, two hours and a half after the jury went out. The crowd of students that had remained about the court house from the time the jury went out waiting for the verdict, rushed into the court room when the twelve men began filing down the stairs from the jury room. They leaned forward listening intently when Clerk Moss arose to read the verdict, and surprise overspread their countenances when he read the word ‘guilty.’ Most of them had expected either a hung jury or a verdict of acquittal from the talk about the corridors during the trial…. The verdict brings to a close a case which has been of wide interest to people of Lawrence and students in the University since it is the first time a student enrolled in the University has ever been tried for a felony in Douglas county. The fact that Hinshaw had many friends among the students and that he was well liked by them made the case of especial interest to the university people. Many believed him innocent of any crime in spite of the evidence presented by the state.”
• “Already plans are being made for an enthusiastic week at the University previous to the Kansas-Nebraska game. The chapel committee is planning to have W. C. Lansdon, former manager of athletics at the University, as the chapel speaker for Friday November 14. Every student knows that Mr. Lansdon, who is now business manager of the Salina Union, is an ardent football fan and that he will have some good things to say for the gridiron sport.”
• “Mr. and Mrs. Richard Watkins and a small grandchild were forced to jump from the second story windows of their home last night when fire broke out in the lower story. The house was a mass of flames when the family awoke and escape down the stairs was impossible. The total damage is estimated at $1200. The fire had gained great headway when the firemen arrived and they were able to do very little.”
• “A Journal-World want adv. last night found the bicycle belonging to Dolph Simons which was stolen from the Simons home, 919 Indiana street. The paper had been out but a short time when a call came from a home in the 800 block Indiana street telling that the wheel had been lying on the parking all day. The thief evidently had ridden the wheel as much as he cared to and abandoned it on the corner not caring to run the risk of taking it back home.”
