given heavy coating and the fence and
outbuildings also suffered. The entire front

NO VERDICT AS YET IN
SEWARD MURDER TRIAL
Jury Received the Case Just Before
Noon and Has Not Reached
Agreement.
CHARGE WAS FAVORABLE

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DANVILLE. Ind, May 4-The jury in
the trial of Henry NJ. Seward, accused Of
killing his wife at their home in Putnam
county. eleven months ago, received the
case at II :55 o'clock this morning. and at
10 o'clock tonight is still out. with no indi-
cations of an agreement. 1t is said the
jurors stand nine for acquittal and three
for conviction.
George w. Brill. for the State, who began
the closing argument yesterday afternoon,
finished at 80 o'clock this morning He
reviewed the evidence of the leading wit
nesses and analysed the motives that may
have led 70 the murder. He took UP the
robbery theory, the tramp theory and the
theory on which the prosecution is based.
He showed wherein the State contends that
the robbery and tramp theories are based
on false premises and emphasized the con-
tention that Seward killed his wife. For
that reason he asked the jurors to bring
in verdict of guilty in the first degree.
Judge Adams spent barely twenty min
utes in instructing the jury, giving most
of his attention to the value of circum-
stantial evidence. His charge was consid-
cred very favorable to the defendant

PULLING PROPOSITION
DR.. Breed, Dean of Women, In

ONE SOCIETY OBJECTS

Special TO the indianapolis Journal

Greek letter sororities at Indiana UniveT-

of Dr. Mary Breed, dean OF women, who
Is trying TO induce the societies to adopt
certain rules governing the "spiking" of
new girls who enter college. 1t has ceased
10 be a secret that she went around to all
of the sororities asking them not TO rush
any new girls for membership until after
they had been in college at least one
month. II has long been the custom here
for each society 10 go after new girls as
soon as they arrive at the station, and
cases frequent where especially attrac-
tive girls are met on incoming trains and
rushed until they give the sorority an an
swer as 10 their desires TO affiliate with
the sorority crowd. DR.. Breed claims that
the sororities can better choose desirable
girls by not soliciting any pledges until
after the new girls have had at least a
given fair chance to show their social and
scholastic powers.
Three of the girl fraternities, the Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma and Theta,
have agreed to the deans suggestion, but
the Pi Phi sorority refuses to be bound
by any such rules, saying that the other
sororfties are already placed at an adj
