Mayes Landing, N. j., May 25.--Wil-
liam Seyler, charged with the murder
of Jane Adams on the million dollar
pier at Atlantic City last February, was
tonight acquitted. The jury was out a
little more than five hours.
The feature of the day was the testi.
rnony of the prisoner himself. His
story was complete denial of the
charge of killing the girl. The aft
ernoon session of the court was taken
lip with the arguments of counsel and
Judge Trenchards charge.
Edmund c. Gaskill, senior counsel,
arraigned the third degree methods of
the police and made a plea for acquit-
tai on the ground no murder had beer
proved and If murder was done at all

meet Seyler with the crime. AS he was

urged a finding of guilty of murder
in the first degree. asserting vehement
iy that the state had proved its case.
Judge Trenchard in his charge, re-
viewed the case from the moment that
Jane and Alice Adams left their home
in company with Orvis Seyler and later
met William Seyler, who joined them
and walked with them to the pier. He
told them that after listening to the
testimony of the physicians on both
sides regarding the wound on Jane Ad-
ans head that they must determine
whether 1t had been inflicted by blow
before or after death.
The defendant was corroborated in
his narrative by the testimony of his
brother Orvis. He is also corroborated
by Walters testimony, the engineer OF
the hotel, where he applied for work.
Continuing. Judge Trenchard said 1t
remained for the jury to decide upon
the credibility of the witnesses. He
informed the jurymen that deliber-
ate taking of life, no matter how short
