A TALL, DARK STRANGER
Witnesses for Defense in the Muir
der Trial Describe a Mysteri-
Gus Track Tourist.
SHORT SESSION OF COURT

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DANVILI.E, Ind, April 23.-The defense
in the Seward murder trial offered tesu-
mony to-day to show that there were many
strangers in the Seward neighborhood on
the day of the murder; that more than one
of these strangers was acting suspciously
and that any Of them might have commit
ted the deed and have been the murderer
of Alice Seward instead of the. prisoner.
The defense is putting up fully as strong a
case to prove the innocence of the prisoner
as the State did in trying to prove his
guilt.
John Dobson, who lives in Clay county
near the Putnam county line, testified that
a stranger went to his home about 6 o o'clock
in the evening of May 10; that he asked for
something to eat and was given his sup
per. The man was advanced in years and
said he was an old soldier. He came down
the railroad track from the direction of the
Seward home. His face was freshly shaved
and his clothing was clean. He carried a
bundle under his arm. Witness said the
stranger told him in answer to his query,
that he had been shaved in Greencastle
that afternoon and that he had stopped at
a creek west of Greencastle and taken a
bath and changed his apparel.
ID. NJ. Newton, a witness for the State
testified to the effect that May 10 about
1880 o'clock four strangers were put off a
tram dl Leila ana walked east on the rail-
road. Witness also testified as to having
seen a dark complexioned man walking
west on the railroad track from the di-
rection of Stewards home. This man 'had
a bad look TO the witness.
John Baysinger, father of Mrs Seward,
who was one of the States strongest wit
nesses, testified that the afternoon of
May 16, about twenty minutes after his
daughter left his house TO go home, tall,
dark stranger, carrying bundle, passed
his house, going west on the railroad. Wit
ness had told his brother who was at his
home. of the stranger, and had remarked
that Alice had taken the same route in
going home.
Mrs r. c. Brammer corroborated the
testimony of her husband, who was the
stand for the defense on Thursday, in that
she and her husband had passed a dark
complexioned stranger on the railroad
track late in the afternoon OF May 16 near
the Seward house. Witness said the
stranger pulled his hat down over his face
when passing.
Judge Adams adjourned court at noon
to-day till 10 a. m. Monday.
