jury in this case was completed yesterday
and the evidence for the prosecution presented,
making strong case against the prisoner. He
had for some time lived at Harlem, apart from
his wife, who remained, with his fathers
family. in q rear tenement in East Eleventh
street. He admitted having been at her resi-
dence, drunk, the evening before the discov-
cry Of her dead body, and said he supposed
the wounds on her scalp had been caused by
kicks. The evidence indicates that rum was the
reigning power in the miserable home where
the death occurred, two other women being
found there, stupid from intoxication, while
Mrs. Shefiin had been several hours dead
in the next room, without attracting their
notice Death probably resulted from alcohol
and jealousy in a family whose degraded con-
dition is disgrace to civilization. 1t may be
that the evidence for the prisoner-which will
come out to-day-will throw such light on the
affair as will reduce the degree of the prisoners
guilt to one of the lower grades of man
slaughter but as it stands the prospect is not
hopeful for him. To-day will probably con-
clude the trial. As the prisoner is poor there
is little inducement for lawyers to practice the
usual delay of justice.
