Backing Away From Him.

ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., Feb. 32.-Jane
Adams. the young girl whose body was
found in the surf on the morning Of
February ~. fell over the rail Of the
million dollar pier into the ocean while
abe was backing away from William
Seyler in the course Of quarrel between
them, according TO the statement OF
Seyler to the police last night. Although
he wouldn't admit that he was making
advances when she met her death the
police are working to establish a case
that will warrant them in holding Seyler
for murder. Under the New Jersey laws
attempt at assault which results in death
is murder. and this law will be invoked
by Prosecutor Goldenburg.
The s,: sSSstance Of seyylsr's admission. adm n
the effect that the girl met her death by
accident. He asserted that while she was
standing with her back toward the
railing she fell into the sea. He says
that he rushed down the ladder leading
to the water in hope Of grabbing her.
but that she did not rise to the surface
alter falling in. He insisted that he had
no intention OF assaulting the girl. but
has made no satisfactory statement re-
garding the cause OF the quarrel that
caused her to back away from him;
Il never intended to harm Jane Adams,
he said. -She backed away toward the
railing. and the next minute l cav her
fall. She screamed as she went over the
rail and rushed for the ladder intending
90 jump overheard II necessary, but she
sank like a stone and l newer saw her
again.
The spot pointed out by Seyler as the
place where the girl fell overheard Is
directly over the boat landing OF the
pier, where the police found what they
believe TO be bloodstains. Seyler says
he believes with the police that the girl
struck the landing in her fall, causing
the bruises on her face and a deep scar
on her forehead.
Seyler told the police OF his fright
when he discovered that the girl had
gone to her death and that he would
probably be connected with the affair.
Il went home to think ID over" he said.
"but when Mrs. Adams came over to the
house and accused me OF making away
with her daughter ! lost my nerve and
beat it," Seyler admitted that he had
told his brother Orvis about the tragedy
and persuaded him to leave town also
TO prevent being mixed up in the case.
We only went away to let the thing
blow over" he said. Il know now that
il would have been wiser to go to Chief
Woodruff and tell him the whole story
right away

LONDON, Feb. 22.--Arthur +. Walter
Of the Times died to-day Of congestion
Of the lungs.
At the time Of his death Arthur Frazer
Walter was chairman OF the board OF
directors of the Times. Formerly he had
been its chief owner.
The Times was founded in l7sS as the
London Daily UnirersdI Register by
John Walter. The name OF the publica-
ton was changed three years later. The
ownership Of the Times continued in the
Walter family until 1905. when Alfred
Harmsworth. Lord Northclife. bought
the controlling interest. G
John Walter. the founder of the paper.
left the management, at his death in 1917.
to his son. another John Walter. who
held 1t until his death In 1s47. when third
John Walter succeeded and held the man
agement until 1894. He was succeeded
by his son, Arthur Frazer Walter.
Under the last named the Times sup
ported Lord Salisbury's Ministry in it's
south African policy in 1899 and the sue
ceeding years preliminary to the Boer
war. but criticised the conduct OF the
war after hostilities had begun. While
Arthur Frazer Walters father was at
it's head the Times made the great mis-
take OF its career. the publication of the
-Parnell letters also known as the
-Pigott forgeries.
In an effort to regain the losses which
ensued from this great blunder the son
took the Times company into the general
publishing field. In 1898 1t undertook a
reprint OF the -Encyclopedia Britannica
and the Times book club was one OF his
projects. This extension OF the scope OF
the newspaper caused considerable un-
favorable comment among other pub
fishers.
Shareholders outside the Walter family
brought an action in 1903 against the
family which had controlled the pub
lication since its inception: but the suit
was settled amicably by the conversion
Of the Times. formerly a partnership.
into a limited liability company, and dis
closures Of the inside history OF the paper
were avoided. Under the new arrange
ment Mr.. Walter became chairman Of the
board, and this post he retained after the
purchase by Lord Northcliffe, already
owner OF the Daisy Mol, OF the controlling
interest in the Times.
Mr.. Walter ives born on September II.
1S46. His mother was Emily Frances
Court. He was educated at Eton and
Christ Church. Oxford. and was called

never practised. He was married in
1877 to Henrietta Maria. eldest daughter
Of the Rev. T. A. Anson OF Longford. in
Derbyshire. The couple had two sons
and two daughters.
Mr.. Walter at one time was Lieutenant
Colonel and honorary Colonel. comrnan-
dant Of the First v. b. Royal Berkshire
Regiment, a director in the London and
Southwestern Railway, and was High
Steward OF Nottingham. He was a mem-

His home was Bearwood. Wokingham.
