Suth-erlin for the alleged murder oi his wife, Mrs. Geneva L. Sntherlin. At the January term of the Floyd Circuit Court she could not be found, it was alleged, and on this account a continuance until the Alarcb term was asked for by the proee-cution, other reasons for the motion for coutinnance being that several witneasea, women living in Silver Grove, were unable to be present to testify.Anna Moore is the daughter of John Moore, a farmer living in Lafayette township. Her wberesbouts was ascot-tained by Col. Jacob Haager, who was acting for Mrs. John 8cheller, of Sellers-burg, mother of the late Mrs. Sntherlin, who baa been taking great interest in the proeecution of her eon-in-law. Col. Haager was assisted in the work by John Shutt, formerly chief of police of thiscity.Rev. Mr. Sutberlin after he had ap-;*r,| peared in the Magistrate's court declared that the allegations made by the woman in the affidavit were untrue, and that he had in hia possession a written statement signed by' her to the effect that no improper relations had ever existed between them. Jttat why he should have exacted this statement of Miaa Moore, however, if he was not guilty and if be was in no wise responsible is not jost exactly clear aud yet he may have bad reasons for demanding it. *The paternity suit brought against him, he declared, was the work of the fc I prosecution, who was doing it for the E I purpose of injuring him in the case to I be tried next month in the Circuit I I Court, when be will answer to the charge w I of having murdered hia wife.
