these reasons the outlook is enc0urag-

for the fall can be more clearly dis

SEWARD WILL TELL HIS
STORY IN COURT TO-DAY
Testimony of the Defense, Given
Yesterday, Made Out Strong
Case for the Accused.
THE DAYS WITNESSES
,cisl 70 the indianapolis Journal.

Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal.
DANVILLE, Ind. April 25.-This has
been a day for the defense in the Seward
murder trial. and every witness that has
been on the stand gave strong testimony
tending to demonstrate the innocence of
the accused man. 1t is given out authori-
tatively that the defendant will take the
stand tomorrow and tell his own story as
ii has so often been told by others.
Charles Parsons the first witness on the
stand to-day, testified to seeing four
tramps three white men and a negro, 60
home This was on the morning of May 16.
the day of the murder. The men were
walking along the railroad. Witness was
in Newton's store in Lena that night, and
saw Samuel Tanave and three strangers
enter the store. Tanave told of Mrs Sew
ards murder. Witness identified the three
strangers the three white men whom
he saw with the negro in the morning.
Charles Parr. resident of Lena. corrob-
Grated his testimony.
The defense then introduced two wit
nesses to show that Seward always paid his
debts promptly and had the money to do
so. The state contends that Seward was
in financial difficulty. that he had TO pay
a mortgage on his farm, that he did not
have the money and would have to sell the
place. that Mrs. Seward objected to this.
apd for this reason Seward put her out of
the way. A. 3. Hanna, an undertaken at
Greencastle, who conducted Mrs. Seward s
funeral, testified that on June Seward
went to his office and paid him for his serv-
ices. Witness and Seward then went to a
monument dealer, where Seward negotiated
for a tombstone for his wifes grave. Wit
ness identified the receipt he gave Seward.
ID. B. Gustin, a huckster, testified that he
frequently made trips to the Seward home,
and that Seward and his wife always
seemed TO be In good spirits. On two occa-
sions he saw them playing together like
children. Witness frequently sold Mr.. and
Mrs. Seward large bills of goods, for which
he was promptly paid
Witness was at the Seward home late in
the afternoon of the day before the murder
On this occasion Seward and his wife
seemed to be very happy
The state introduced evidence by James
Lane to prove that Seward wrote the letter
he received at Lena, and that he Gane)
saw Seward in Brazil about the 1st of June:
that Seward took an interurbanN car from
Brazil to Terre Haute, and there mailed
the letter. The defense put Peter Mostet-
Ter on the stand to prove this testimony
false. He testified that on the day Lane
claimed to have seen Seward in Brazil wit
ness saw him fifteen miles from Brazil. The
defense contends that Seward did not go to
Brazil that day.
