Adams. / am certain that he would not

Questioned as to how she believed Jane
Adams fell into the sea, Mrs. Seyler an
swered that perhaps she may have de-
cided to commit suicide or have fallen
from the pier where there is an opening.
The district attorneys ONCE has been
actively supporting the police in the in
vestigations and also has reached the con-
cluSion that the girl met her death while
resisting an attempt at assault.
County Detective Ritzell scouts the idea
that Seyler may have taken his own life.
and as reported in Chelsea. may have
plunged into the sea from the pier and
drowned.
HE is not that kind Of man. and.
Furthermore, the absence of his brother
forbids the entertainment OF this theory.
He will soon be found. and undoubtedly
will clear up the mystery.
Coroner SOntheimer says that what
probing he has done has convinced him
that the girl was killed. but how and in
what manner he would have to let rest
until the witnesses now being gathered
testified.
1--WE want Orvis Seyler to come forward
and tell the story of what he observed.
There is no charge against him. He may
likely have been made confdant of his
brother after the warrant was sworn out
for his brother in the first place for alb
duction, and which caused him to go into
hiding.
We have the county physicians evidence
that the wound over the left eye was deep
and fatal and that 1t was inflicted with
some instrument. 1t will be my duty to

What Autopsy Developed.

The theory that Jane Adams. whose
body was cast upon Chelsea beach by the
breakers Sunday, lost her life while de-
Tending her honor was established by the
autopsy performed yesterday by Coroner
Sontheimer. William Seyler. the young
married man, was last seen with the girl.
near the ocean end of the Million Dollar
pier.
An alarm has been sent to the authori-
ties in New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and other cities within a days
travel OF the scene asking assistance in
finding the brother.
Orvis Seyler's disappearance mystifies
the detectives. 1t has been established
by satisfactory evidence that he could
not have been concerned in the struggle
which is believed to have preceded the
death of the girl.

Spent Night at Home.

William Seyler has left behind him a
nineteen-yearold wife and two children,
Bessie. aged two years. and Helen, six
months old. He spent the night after re-
turning from the pier at his home, leav-
ing ON the morning OF February 5.
He told his wife that he was going to
work for a construction company in
Longport five miles from Atlantic CITY
Members of his family say he showed
no nervousness. and it Is known that he
had little money.
Investigations by the detectives as to
SEWERS habits revealed that he posed as
and was considered something OF a dandy
in his own class: In fact, some referred
to him as a Beau Brummel'' and recorded
the information that he frequently at
tended the entertainments on the piers
and In the cheap places Of amusement.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., February 10
After a night of beating through the
woods and other points adjacent to At
lautic City, detectives telephoned to police
headquarters here today that they had
found no trace of William and Orvis Sey-
Ter. brothers. the former OF whom is
charged by the police with the murder OF
eighteen-year-old Jane Adams on the
night of February 4.
Procuring the aid of number of char
coal burners, the Atlantic City detectives
organized two posses and worked from two
bases.
1t is known that the elder OF the two
brothers had at one time worked among
the charcoal burners who are plentiful in
the woods within only a few miles of At
lantic City. These camps afford an ideal
place in which to hide.
In the meantime Chief of Detectives
Whalen is turning over every suggestion
bearing on the pier tragedy. The police
are convinced, however that William Sey-
Ter IS the only person who can tell the
story Of Jane Adams death.

Deep Wound Found.

The autopsy revealed a deep wound
in the girls left eye. 1t penetrated Just
above the eyebaH. piercing the socket
and extending into the brain. This
wound was sufficient TO have caused
death
The police believe the girl received 1T
before she entered the water. There is a
possibility, however, that ii might have
been inflicted by spike or nail against
which the girl struck as she fell or was
thrown from the pier
Aorasions on the head and body i'm ad-
dition to the wound in the eye indicate
that the girl was struck repeatedly.
These marks suggest to the police that
Jane Adams struggled desperately be-
fore her death.
William Seyler arrived at his home
No. 1914 Baltic avenue shortly before
midnight OF February 4. Half an hour
later Mrs. Adams. alarmed at the absence
of Jane, went to the Seyier home.
Il entered the house." she relates,
and said: VIII Seyler. what have you
done 20 my Jane?' He couldn't answer
me.
"Janey was a good girl and could never
have done anything wrong L know she
could never have stayed away from
home II something had not belated her.
But all Will would say was that he
had left her at the pier, as she said she
would go home alone"

Dead Girls Sisters Story.

the end of the pier about IL pm. on Feb
