Rev. M. T. Hinshaw, Of
Rutherford CoMege
Resigns After Exposure
HICKORY, APRIL 18;-Rtv.
M. T Hinshaw, for 15 years pre
srdent of Rutherford College, a
denominational school resigned
foday after a meeting o f the
board of trustees, which followed
the exposure this week of Hin
shaw's intimacy with a young
g*rl who worked in his office.
The girl's name wes not given.
College students, headed by
young Edward Conrad, of Spen
cer, suspected unbefitting rela
tions between Hinshaw and the
girl some time ago. Conrad con
cealed himself in a room over
the president's office and took
pictures of Hinshaw and t h e
girl, which it is alleged shows
them in a compromising position.
After this, the story goes, Hin
shaw received a letter signed
"K. K. K." which directed him to
place $500 in money in a certain
spotand rot talk. This Hinshaw
refused to do and the exposure
followed.
Hinshaw issued a statement
saying he was the "victim of cir
cumstance and unguarded rela
tions" aud would say nothing
further.
Rev. Melvin T. Hinshaw,
around whom the above story is
vritten, is a native of Yadkin
ville, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
dart Hinshaw, a highly respec
ed family, and has many friends
here who hesitate to believe him
guilty o f improper conduct
Vhether he is guilty or not, he'
s the Fvictim of! a plot that is
nothing short of blackmail, if the
dispatches are true.

an automobile accident iast Sunday

and the httesf reports from his bed

fortahiy than couid have been ex
pected, considering the extent of in
juries sustained.
The accident, which tame near
costing the life of the young man,
occurred at eight o'clock Sunday ev
ening, about three mites out of town
between Jonesviiie and Brooks Cross
Roads, as Greenwood and Wiii
Reece, a iad of sixteen years, who
was at the wheel of the Studebaker
car in which they were driving were
returning to town after a little spin
to the country.

lights of a Nash car which was ap
