SEYLER GOES
TO HIS HOME
Police Failed to Make Out
Murder Case Against At
IantiC City Mau
MADE FALSE STATEMENTS
ABOUT THE ACCUSED

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
ATLANTIC CITY, May %.-Declarlng
that he was back to stay and would pro
tect himself if any attempt were made 10
drive him out of town, william r. Seyler,
acquitted at Mays Landing of the murder
of Jane Adams, returned to his home here
to-day.
The feeling against Seyler has mostly
disappeared and residents are to-day
roundly scoring the police for having
made false statements regarding the
case. From the beginning the police in
sisted that they had comp etc case
against the accused and that there was no
question Of his guilt. They failed utterly.
however, TO substantiate this at the trial
and the story of Seyler that his answers
to the police questions were deliberately
distorted by them is generally accepted
here.
The entire record of Seyler's trial is ex-
pected to be called for by the special COM
mlttee Of the United States Senate that
is investigating third degree" i'm the po-
lice methods
Seyler's allegation that he was given
drugged cigarettes and that threats of
personal violence were made, while he was
not permitted to sleep or eat. has aroused
intense feeling against the police and
there is a growing demand that the city
authorities take up the matter.
Orvis Seyler. who was held as witness
against his brother, viii hardly be prose
cuted further. The district attorney an
nounced on Wednesday that he would
cause Orvis' arrest for perjury but as this
statement was made while he was angered
because the younger Seyler had failed to
tell the same story on the stand he told
him previously it is not taken seriously.
