paper at Barcelona. that the recent
bomb outrages were arranged by an

william Seyler. on trial here for the
murder OF Jane Adams. took the
stand today. lie denied he told the
police he had seen the girl fall on
the pier at Atlantic City. He said
he was with his brother and James
sister. Jane walked 10 the pier. Tie
left her there and went to Peters

girls disappearance. He declared he
signed a statement written by de-
tectiyes and signed IL because the
police said he would be freed. lie
testified he was given drugged cigar
cites at the coroner's inquest
The fate OF Seyler probably will

SYMPATHY OF ALL
is WITH MOTHER
DRIVEN FROM STEP-FATHER's
HOME SHE WAS IN SAD
STRAITS.

sympathy rather than reproach is
extended to Mrs. Oddie Thomas, of
Shawneetown. ILL.,. who Is a prisoner
in the county jail. awaiting the ac-
tion OF the next grand jury co the
charge of deserving her four-weels-
old baby boy. henry Earl Thomas.
Kind hearted ladies of the city have
rallied 10 her aid. and steps
will be taken to have her released
from Jail at least. The ladies' of the
Home of the Friendless. where the
child Is being cared for. are inter
ested In the case and sympathize
with the young mother.
Mrs Thomas appeared more
cheerful today when seen at the
county Jail. Several ladies of the
Home of the Frendless called upon
her and assured her of their assist
ance.
II is believed she deserted the
child In ignorance and desperation.
she is woman not experienced
with the ways of the world, and
when she reached Paducah with
only a small amount OF money she
heard of home for children. Realiz-
ing that she would be unable 10 care
for the baby, she deserted Il with
the hope that her child would fall
into kind hands. as she believed IL
would. She said today:
81 have written to my husband
and ! believe he will come to my
aid at once" When IL was suggest
ed that her husband was unl0ind to
leave her. Mrs. Thomas quickly de-
Tended him. "He does not know
anything of my trouble. You see, ne
left me with my mother at home,
and started out to find work When
he gets my letter he will come to
my assistance. He left me at home
with my mother. and | left on gc-
count of my step-father. My mother
is forced to make the living, and
following a quarrel left home, and
started for Missouri.
81 am sorry that I deserted my
baby. | did not mean to do il when
7 left the hotel. but when reached
the boat a sudden impulse came
over me to leave and | thought my
baby would be taken care of. One
lady has telephoned and wants to
adopt the little boy. but could not
think OF that, for want him. As
quick as my husband reaches Padu-
cab, l expect him TO get a job here
and we may stay"
The hoy is at the Home OF the
Friendless and is a lively, healthy
