Jerome Shooting Case nt Fremont.

FREMONT, Neb., Dec. 12.-(Spccial.)--
The jerome shooting case is progressing
slowly in the district court. The state
closed its case yesterday. The evidence so
far introduced on the part of the defense is
as to the good character of Jerome prior to
his gambIing, There was also some testi-
mony that Pope claimed to own the entire
establishment. The Indications are that
the defense will be insanity. Pope is now
confined to his bed with prostration and he
may be unable to testify in rebuttal. He
has not yet fully recovered from the effects
of his wounds and the excitement attending
the trial
