SANTA MONICA - Two witnesses testified yesterday that they saw O.J. Simpson slap his ex-wife, contradicting the former football star's testimony that he never hit her.

Ms India Rose Allen, a former model, said she had seen Simpson slap Nicole Brown Simpson at a Beverly Hills veterinarian's office in 1983. Mr Albert Aguilera, who once lived in Laguna Beach where the Simpsons had rented a beach-house, recalled an incident around July 4th, 1986, in which he saw Simpson hit his ex-wife. The former football star denies ever hitting the murdered woman.
