Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MONTICELLO, Ind, Dec 1.-THE evil
dence in the case against George Sloop for
numbering bis wife, closed to-day. The
States evidence was that the deceased died
from blows inflicted on the back Of her
head by the defendant. The defense is that
the deceased was a woman weak in body
and mind; that she suffered from attacks of
epilepsy; that she frequently fell in the
attacks, and that she inflicted the wounds
on herself by falling when suffering from
eral of these attacks: that she died from
these commissions, and the injuries on the
head were not sufficient to produce death.
The defendant proved conclusively that he
was a nan OF good reputation, sober and
Industrious. The arguments commence
Monday morning. Great interest is mani
tested in the result, and the court room
has been crowded.
