ing committee of the 18th Legislature
has been given over to the hands of
sub committee, that action having been
taken at a meeting, Tuesday evening,

that the report may not be presented
until the June meeting of the Cover
nor and Council 1t is safe to say,
however that the report will be made
to the Governor and Council In season
SO that it may be printed for distribu-
ton in the coming State campaign
Hon. Cyrus r. Upper, legal counsel
for the investigating committee will.
it is understood, meet with the SUBJ

report.
The matter of investigation of sever
al other departments of the State,
which have not yet been touched, was
taken up. but no action was taken and
the matter of holding further meet

Portsmouth, n. H.. April "A
photograph of Seth Nichols, the sailor,

fessed that he murdered DR.. Helen
Knabe in indianapolis, last October,

confession were mailed to the authori-
ties of that city, early today. rms
action was taken by the Portsmouth
officials at the request of the ponce
department of Indianapolis, after an

dianapolis police have made careful
examination of the matter mailed
them, no steps toward eXtradltion were

Meanwhile Nichols will be held by the
Portsmouth police. The local authori-
ties were still uncertain, this forenoon,
as to whether Nichols was telling the
truth. Parts of his story We're be-
lieVed improba BILE, but other portions
indicated that he was acquainted with
the scene of the mysterious murder
and the manner in which it was COM
mitted Ii was expected that the sail
or would be questioned further. Mich
OILS declares that he has spent all the
money he received for committing the
murder, in going from place to place
to clude the police.
Nichols, who is said to he a deserter
from the L. s. $. Dixie, came here
last week, and was arrested on Sat
urday, charged with carrying loaded
revolver. The police say that yester-
day, Nichols confessed to the murder
declaring that he would go insane il
he did not get it off his mind.
Nichols has a sister living in IN
dianapolis. While in New York. ac-
cording to a story Nichols told the
police. he met the stranger who offered
him the sum of money if he woull
commit the murder. He accepted the
offer and went to Indianapolis, where
he was Joined, later. by the man. on
