Find Mother of 18 Guilty of Murder - Minnie Hines
Convicted of Slaying 56-year-old
Elkader, Ia., March 4 -- Minnie Hines, 54-year-old mother of 18
children, was convicted by a district court jury today of
second-degree murder in connection with the slaying of Dan Shine,
Littleport, Ia., farmer. The jury returned the verdict after
deliberating 22 hours and 15 minutes. Twenty eight ballots were
taken, the jury foreman said. Mrs. Hines was the fifth person
convicted in connection with the "marriage-murder" May
5, 1936 of Shine, 56-year-old farmer who married his housekeeper,
Pearl Hines, 28, Mrs. Hines' niece, five days before he was
slain. Pearl Hines Shine and her harmonica-playing boy-lover,
Maynard Lenox of East Dubuque, Ill., received life sentences for
their part in the slaying. Jim Hines, 28-year-old common law
husband of Minnie Hines, and Albert (Deak) Cornwell, Manchester
junk dealer, also were convicted for participation in the murder
plot. Hines now is awaiting sentence while Cornwell received life
imprisonment in the state penitentiary. The court today granted
Mrs. Hines' attorneys 60 days in which to file a motion for a new
trial.

News Review of Current Events the World Over
-A link with a past era was broken by the death in Washington of
Mrs. Robert Todd Lincoln at the age of ninety years. She was the
daughter-in-law of President Lincoln and the mother and
grandmother of his only living descendants, Mrs. Charles Isham,
Mrs. Jessie Randolph and their three children. Mrs. Lincoln was
the daughter of James Harlan, who was a senator from Iowa and
later secretary of the interior. In 1868 she married Robert Todd
Lincoln, the martyred President's son. In the administrations of
Presidents Garfield and Arthur her husband served as secretary of
war, and under President Benjamin Harrison, he served as minister
to England. Afterward he was general counsel and then president
of the Pullman company.
