Dewey Seeley did not believe Edgar
had killed the sheep; said Bert Setley
and Edgar had had row in the woods
the Sunday before the murder, but had
parted in friendly manner He said
he and his brother ran from corn field
after the shooting to the road near
where Edgar's body was found.
The jury rendered a verdict that
Edgar came to his death from gun shot
wounds in the hands of a person OK
persons unknown.
An inquest as to the death of Mr.. ard
Mrs. Bert Seeley was held Wednesday.
Dewey Seeley being the first witness.
He told Of the finding of the bodies, his
report to his mother and brother
Charles and his telephoning to Sheriff
Jarrad and for physician. When he
left the couple the night before they
seemed as natural as ever Among
other things he told of Berts making a
statement to him, There's one jury
man don't like, because he has enmty
for me. Everythipg's against me, and L
don't stand much show" meaning that
if possible the murder would be laid TO
him, as Chase the juror and Seeley rad
had fight year before.
The question of the handwriting of
the notes left by the suicides was
settled by testimony showing that it
was their own writing
The jury considered the matter few
| minutes and returned verdict that the
seeleys came to death by poison admin
istered by their own hands.
There have been many rumors ard
stories in circulation during the last
few days, including reports that Mrs.
Edgar was dead, that the deputy sheriff
had been killed and much gossip as to
other persons. Old troubles have been
reviewed and quarrels talked about,
but the general understanding is that
Bert Seeley was quarrelsome and the
other Seeleys peaceable people and that
Ed Edgar was a quiet, hard working
man. had saved his money, paid for the
farm on which he lived and had given
his mother life lease of it and was
taking good care of her. There is little
if any question as to the cause of the
murder and who the murderer was. In
the minds of most people Bert Seeley
was the guilty party.
