Brown County (Indiana) Democrat, April 2, 1914, p.6. INDICTED FOR FIRST-DEGREE MURDER For killing his wife, Mrs. Jessie Hardin, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jennie Richardson, about four weeks ago, Thomas Hardin was indicted Tuesday by the Monroe County grand jury for murder in the first degree on two bills. Hardin has been in jail at Bloomington since the afternoon of the tragedy when he shot and killed the two women in their home. He was arraigned yesterday morning and will likely be tried the last week of the present term of court. Prosecutor Barcley says that he will insist that Hardin be sent to the electric chair.
