GREENCASTLE, Ind, June 1.-THE cor

working steadily in the task of determining
the murderer of Mrs. Henry Seward, and
witnesses are before them every day. The
husband of the woman has been before
them many times. He has become exceed
ingly careworn, but his friends say this Is
due to the awful death Of his wife
1t is now reported that the instrument
used in the killing of Mrs. Seward was a
big hammer or the back of Ratchet, and
not the club that was found in thicket
near the railroad. The club had blood on
it. with several hairs from the womans
head. and it was naturally believed to have
been used in the job. 1t is said now that
the wounds on her head. three in number,
could not have been put there by a club,
that the skin was cut rather than mashed,
although the breaking of the bones was
evidently done by fiat surface, as they
were crushed over a considerable area. II
the hammer or Ratchet were used the club
was cut afterwards and prepared for its
part in the possible deception.
