Committed in Sussex County.
Delaware.

LAUREL, DEL. October 16.-(SpeciaD
Farmer Elmer Collins was indicted in the
Sussex county grand jury late to-day for
the brutal murder of his wife, Ida, aged
q, April 18th last. Witnesses examined
before the grand jury, it is surmised,
brought out facts damaging to the accus-
ed, as follows:
That he was attentive to other women
and ill-treated his wife; that he.#was the
only one about his farm at the time of the
murder; that on the morning Mrs. Col
Inns body was found, Collins dressed his
two little girls and got their breakfast;
that neighbor lately overheard Collins
praying, when he confessed that he had
killed his wife.
The Indictment met with general approx
al in the county. Collins, who. for the
second time is locked up in Georgetown
jail, will be tried at the January term of
court. Collins is vel known on the East

good long penitentiary terms that all OF
the prisoners confined in the city jail
awaiting trial are seeking TO have t--eir
cases postponed month rather than to

the opinion that it would be better to
wait another month and save possibly
year or two on Oregon Hill than to be
tried during this term Of court.
Six colored people have been convicted
du,ing the term, with an aggregate or
th;rty-two years in the penltentiary
There have been several acquittals and
two or three Jail sentences, but in every
case where the evidence justified, the
Jury laid it on heavily.

said this afternoon that If the court could
have such a jury every term 1t would not

for half of the trials in the Hastings
Court.
