Mr. John W. Gaitber and Messrs. Stotsenburg A Weathers have been engaged to defend Sutherlin and the case promises to be a prominent one wbeu the evidence is heard. All the evidence, it is believed, is purely circumstantial, but this will have a tendency to make it all the more sensational.In the Floyd Circuit Court on Monday morning the case of the State against the Rev. UlysaesG. Sutherlin, who was indicted for murder in the first degree, was called by Judge I’tz. The Rev. Mr. Sutherlin hnd not appeared in court and was not arraigned. Judge Alexander Dowling, for the defense, stated that the defendant’s attorneys had no opportunity to examine the indictment, and asked that the case be passed until Tuesday. This request wss granted by Judge Ptz.George B. McIntyre, Prosecuting Attorney, said the case was one of the most important docketed recently, and should b** set for trial at an early date. C. L. Jewett, who is assisting in the prosecution, suggested that it be set for next Monday. Evan B.

Ulysses G. Sutherlin Is Arrested Upon An Indictment Charging Him With Wife Murder.Plaecd In Jail Without Bond.The Rev. Ulysses Grant Sutherlin, former pastor of Park Christian church, this city, was arrested last Friday upon an indictment charging him with murder in the first degree, and he was lodged in jail by Sheriff Raymond J. Morris. Mr. •Suthertio’s wife, Geneva L. Sutherlin, was found suspended from a transom atyeidftisirofMsJto*ineigline and was dead.CORONER PRONOUNCES IT SUICIDE.CJoroner Starr, who investigated the death of the woman at the time, returned a verdict of suicide, which exonerated the Rev. Mr. Butherlin from all responsibility for her death. However, the parents of Mrs. Sutherlin started an investigation of the death of the minister's wife, and have been very aclive, persistent and determined, it seems, to fasten the responsibility upon the husband. The matter was brought before the grand jury and thoroughly looked into, many witnesses having been summoned before that body, with the result above recited. Mrs. Sutberlin’s death occurred last October.THE OltAND JURY.Surely there must have been some evidence before the grand jury that is not known to the public, else that inquisitorial body would not have placed the life of the Rev. Mr. Sutherlin in jeopardy by returning an indictment of murder in the first degree. Look at the names of the jury and consider whether any six men in Floyd county could be selected who would more nearly be representative citizens, or who are more honorable or more just, or who would be more considerate of the calling, character and repntation of the accused than the grand jury that returned the indictment, who were: David F. Bowman and Frank Belviy, New Albany township; Charles Coflmaa, Greenville township; J. A. Daily, Franklin township; Benjamin Hanks, Lafay-ette township; and Henry Wolfe, Georgetown township.WHAT THE INDICTMENT CHAftOEB.The Indictment found against Mr. 8utherlin contains three counts, the first that he choked, strangled and banged hiswife with a rope which he held in hie bands. The second chargee that be killed hia wife with aooae blunt instrument and by choking with hia hands and with a rope, and the third charges that with premeditated malice he killed sad murdered hie wife by means unknown to the jury. Nearly two score of wltnemea ware before the jury.The offense not being n bailable one, the Rev. Mr. 8uthevlin will be reqaired la remain in Jail uatil the ease la called for trial this weak, and it may be that the Court may deem ia on wise to allowdefinite action wss taken, but the defendant was arraigned today and the case set for trial.CONCERNING THE COURTS.FLOYD CIRCUIT COURT.Carrie A.
