INDIANAPOLIS, June2 l.-Thls morn
ing about . o'clock Jerry Monroe, col
ored, murdered his wife I'm cold blood
by beating out her brains with mon
key-wrench. 1t seems Monroe and
his wife were formerly slaves at Rich
mond, Va, and after the war found
their way to this city. They had no
children, but lived happily together
until two months since, when the hus-
band suddenly became jealous Of his
wife, owing to an intimacy which had
sprung up between her and one John
Martin, colored hod-carrier. This
led to repeated quarrels, until finally
the wife sought and obtained
n divorce, on the ground of cru
city. The enraged negro then made
such threats that his wife, alarm
ed for her saiety, changed her
residence to a laundry on Market street.
Here the brute found her this morning,
and while she was leaning over wash
tub, he sprang upon her and, as before
stated, deliberately beat her brains
out with a monkey wrench, which
he had brought with him
for that purpose. The proprie-
tress of the laundry attempted to stay
the bloody work, but Selling her by
the throat, he held her out at arms
length, with one hand and continued
blows upon the senseless Mrs. Monroe
with the other. The appearance of an
officer upon the scene, however, put
an end to the murderolis attack, but
not until the skull had been broken in
Il dozen places and the face literally
mashed to a jelly. The brute was
taken to the station house amid the
boots aud jeers of an Infatuated mob,
who threatened to lynch him unless
the law does its work. The deceased
was thirty-three years old, member
of the colored Baptist Church, and
among her neighbors was estimated Il
good woman. Her murderer is thirty
five years old, stoutly built, with Il
small head, bull neck, ugly eye and i'll
shaped mouth and nose. He looks
like a brute. When visited in Jail, two
hours after his arrest, and told told
that his wife was dead, he exhibited
little emotion, but expressed q belief
he would be hung.
