Police Officials
Withhold Remarks
Concerning Case

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 2.-Po-
lice officials here today were inclined
to withhold their judgment as to the
truth or falsity of the confession Of
Seth Nichols. at Portsmouth, N. H.,
that he Is the murderer of DIR. Helene
knabe, the indianapolis woman
physician
Detective H. c. Webster, who is
now working on the case under the
direction of the Local Council of
Women, asserted today that he had
no evidence that could be connected
in any way with the Portsmouth
sailor.
Mrs. Robert L. Blakeman, a sister
of Nichols. said that many of the de-
tails of his story are true, but denied
knowledge that her brother was in
indianapolis, at the time of the MUIR
d@r. The, police officers here are, in
terested in the story of a man whose
name Nichols says was Knight The
sailor says he was given $1,000 by
Knight for committing the murder.
The local police say evidence was de-
veloped in the investigation which
showed DR.. Knabe had several prom
inent enemies in the city.

AS TOLD BY SAILOR
In Sail Nichols Repeats
Story of How He Murder
ed DR.. Helene Knabe.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., April 2.-Sit-
ting on the iron bench in his cell at
the Portsmouth police station today,
Seth Nichols, formerly a sailor on the
u. S. s. Dixie, coolly told the details
of how he and a man named Knight,
who paid him $500 to commit the deed,
forced an entrance into the indianapolis
apartment of DR.. Helene Knabe, emil
. nent physician and scientist, and almost
severed the woman's head with a stag
handled butcher knife.
1--WE easily forced an entrance into
the apartment through the living room
window" said Nichols. IT had brought
with me a stag-handled carving knife.
Its blade was about ten inches long.

Just as we reached her bedside she
stirred, moaned slightly, and opened her
eyes. My God! 1 will never forget those

For the first time since Nichols, at
midnight last night called a jailer to
him, where he is held to await trial
on charge of carrying concealed
weapons with which he threatened the
life of local bartender, the man shudz

With the exception of when he spoke
or the Womans frightened eyes staring
at the two men who had invaded her
bedroom, Nichols was absolutely calm.
Police Doubt Story.
While local police are inclined to
doubt the mans story, they are plainly
puzzled over the way he has stuck
to the details in repetitions of it. Three
to six years in Jail is the penalty for
conviction for the crime of which
Nichols is charged here. Local police
said today that If Superintendent Holtz
of Indianapolis, wanted him they would
waive claim to Nichols.
Nichols told the story as coolly as
though he were detailing an ordinary
event. He is about twenty-five years
old, five feet eight inches in height,
and weighs about 100 pounds. His face,
which, like his hair, is dark, is clean
cut.

wistle of the local police of putting

Nichols said he first met knight in
New York about a year ago. He said
he met him again in October at the
Washington skating rink in Indiana
Ipolis, and that a few weeks before DR.;
Knabe was murdered was asked to do
the job for $500" Nichols declared he
was being pressed for some bills, and in
desperation took up the offer Nichols

ON COUNTY DIVISION

Are you boosting for that new
county? The creation of Merino
county, is the. greatest enterprise
ever undertaken in the Musselshell
valley. The best suggestion we
can offer is to follow the intelli-
gent leadership of the men that
are giving their time and money
in the interests of the new county.
The livest bunch of pushers in the
state. Let us not forget that ar
mics never won battles where there
was no opposition. No man ever
worked his way anywhere in a
dead calm, Many of us do not
appreciate what it takes to put
through a great public enterprise.
Show your appreciation of this
movement by giving it your fnan.
cial and moral support. Get in
the procession and push. We have
planned with audacity, let us exc.
cute with vigor. We have sketched
map of possibilities, let us treat
them as realities.
Remember that nothing is SO
contagious as enthusiasm. Enthu-
siasm is the inspiration to every.
thing great Without it 40 man
is to be feared, with it none is to
be despiscd. Let US all be enthu,
siastic for the new county. If we
cannot enthuse ourselves let US
not chill the other fellow who has
the disease. We have always been
an optimist, ever since we have
been in the town we have pulled
for every worthy enterprise and
boosted for every good cause. We
believe in good scrap when sane
ly INDUCED in, the News has had
it's battles and welcomes future
problems. There isn't an ounce
of logical opposition to county di-
vision by those affected. There
may be opposition from the old
county, and some selfish knockers,
if so it is purely selfsh-some fel,
low thinks the other fellow will
derive the most benefit. The
knockers don't belong to the Or
ganized labor class; the pushers
are the ones that do things-that
furnish the motive power that turn
. the wheels of progress. A benefi.
cient legislature placed the instru
ments in our hands, with which
we can proclaim our independence
and declare for home rule. Are
we alive to the opportunity? Let
us act now, for the lord only knows
what another legislature will bring
forth. Let us get together and
work in the harness for county di-
vision and the common good. Let
us quit abusing one another and
get ready for the big battle that
is soon to come off. A new county
means much more than the sue
cess of political parties. The di.
vision of Meagher county is inevi-
table. The time has arrived. The
movement is only in line with the
splendid progress of the great
Musselshell valley. Another week
will see the circulation of p>ti-t
tions. Line up sc hosts in solid
