MYSTERY OF LETTER NOT

DANVILLE. Ind. April .2.-The defense
in the Seward trial to-day had it's first full
day for evidence. and employed the time
well. but the, effort to prove by George
Nichols or his wife that Seward did not
write the letter received at Lena was
failure.

testified that train No. passed Lena sta

was done to show that the murderer might
nave caught this train and soon been miles
away. Mrs. George Nichols. of Terre
Haute. who, with her husband. had to be
brought into court by an attachment gave
evidence that was not satisfactory to the
defense. although she was put on the stand
by the defense. When asked if she thought
Frank Wilson wrote the letter TO Seward
duplicating her husband in the murder of
Alice Seward, she said she did not know.
she said she did not know where her hus-
band was after he left her home in April
until long after the murder. She did not
know Seward or his wife. but thought per-
maps Seward knew her husband. Mrs.
Nichols denied that she had told several
people that she thought her husband killed
Mrs. Seward.
She was closely cross-examined by the
State. She said that Mr.. Rawley had come
to her home in Terre Haute, had told her
that the State had a strong case against
Seward. but that if she would swear she
wrote the letter signed Frank Wilson or
that she knew who wrote it, it would take
much suspicion away from Seward. Mrs
Nichols said that Rawley tried TO get her
to make this statement on two different
occasions. She refused. saying she would
not implicate an innocent person. She de-
MED writing the letter that Seward had
received at Lena.
Mrs. Nichols was followed by her hus-
band. He said he did not know Seward
and had never seen him. He knew Frank
Wilson, alleged author of the letter impli-
eating Nichols in the murder, but knew
nothing of his whereabouts.
Other witnesses testified as to the condi-
ton of the body after Seward spread the
alarm after his wife's murder. Coroner
King declared the blood on the body and
clothing was wet when he viewed the re-
mains, while three other witnesses thought
the blood from the wounds had dried be-
