YOUTHFUL BANDIT ON TRIAL
Case of Thomas J. Hoal Comes Up in Indiana Today-His Startling Crime
Corydon, Indiana, Feb. 23-The case of Thomas Jefferson Hoal, the youthful
bandit whose murderous exploits aroused the whole of southern Indiana and
northern Kentucky last November, was called for trial in the Harrison
circuit court here today.Hoal's trial, which was brought here on change of
venue from the Floyd circuit court, is expected to occupy several weeks.
Able counsel has been retained to defend the young desperado who, during his
three months' confinement in the reformatory at Jeffersonville, has become
very repentant. It is expected that a plea of insanity will be made the
basis of defense.
The charge upon which Hoal is to be tried is the murder of J. Hangary
Fawcett, cashier of the Merchants' National Bank of New Albany. On the
morning of November 11 last, young Hoal entered the bank and after
commanding everybody to throw up his hands, "and get in the vault," began
shooting. Cashier Fawcett died almost instantly after being shot through
the neck and chest. John K. Woodward, president of the bank, was shot
through the stomach and for days lingered between life and death.
Following the shooting, the murderer made his escape from the bank and
jumping into an automobile that stood nearby, he commanded he negro
chauffeur to drive away at full speed. The chauffeur, paralyzed by fear,
failed to obey the command. Hoal then fired a shot into the negro's body,
jumped from the automobile, and sped down the street. Arriving at the river
front, he jumped into a skiff with the evident intention of crossing to the
Kentucky side of the Ohio River. He was overtaken in midstream, however, by
a party of officers who pursued him in a fast motor boat. When the murder
of the bank cashier became known, there was some talk of lynching the
prisoner, and he was removed for safekeeping from the police station in New
Albany to the reformatory in Jeffersonville.

New Albany, Indiana, August 127, 1870-A Correspondent of the LEDGER gives a
graphic description of the discovery and exploration of a new cave in Boone
Township, Harrison County.
Last week a party consisting of ladies and gentlemen first entered the cave
where they discovered the (illegible) remains of 'Squire Boone, a cousin of
Daniel Boone, buried in 1810. Boone was a pioneer of the county and was
laid in the cave at his request. Forty years ago some Eastern relatives
visited his tomb and saw the remains, since which time until now the mouth
of the cave has been closed. The party penetrated the big cave for some
distance, finding it grand and beautiful beyond description.

STREET AFFRAY
[Special Dispatch to the Times and Chronicle]
New Albany, Indiana, October 10-D. C. Hill, a well known boat builder, and
Stephen Stuckey, met on Main Street early this morning and had a dispute in
relation to foreclosing a mortgage held by Hill & Hewitt. Stuckey denounced
it as a swindle and, drawing a revolver, discharged two shots, one striking
the top of Hill's head and the other cutting his left fore finger. Stuckey
got into the skiff and crossed the river. Hill is not dangerously wounded.
The grand jury has the matter in hand.
I think this is GREAT! That is what the INFLOYD board is all about.
