Mysterious Death in White County.

White county may have a murder trial at the next term of circuit court. The mysterious and sudden death of Mrs. George Sloop, north of Burnettsville, Sept. 29th, has caused no little talk, and so this week the body was exhumed by order of the coroner and an investigation was made, resulting in a verdict of murder. The husband ot the dead woman is strongly suspected of the crime, and he has been arrested to await further investigation. He cla ; ms, however, that his wife received her injuries from a fall, but circumstantial evidence at the inquest appears to find that foul play has been committed.—Wolcott Enterprise.
