SEWARD UNSCATHED BY FIRE OF CROSS-QUESTIONS Man Accused of Wife Murder Makes Good Impression on the Stand. ACQUITTAL IS EXPECTED Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE. Ind.. April 2S.-Under a rigid fire of cross-questions for five hours to-day Henry Seward, charged with the murder of his wife in Putnam county last May, created strong sentiment in his favor. As he left the stand the bl crowd that has followed the case apparently decided he was "not guilty." He answered all questions readily, and all plans to frustrate him proved futile. It is a hard matter now to convince any one that the prisoner is guilty, and unless the attorneys for the State have something up their sleeves to offer In rebuttal his acquittal is expected. The courtroom was crowded all day by those anxious to hear the prisoner testify. By far the major portion of the large room was filled with women. Cross-examination of Seward, begun late yesterday afternoon, was continued this morning at 9 o'clock. He insisted that Sheriff Cooper had told him that he had a man who would swear he saw Seward go to his home twice on the evening of the murder. This man the State has never produced. He said that the officers knew he had gone to Indianapolis to see Captain Kinney: that Sheriff Cooper had told him to go and see Kinney. The State made a great effort at this point to tear down Seward's direct testimony In regard to his connection with Detective Cassidy, but the prisoner's testimony was unshaken. Seward had testified that ho had never had a cross word with his wife. The State tried in every manner possible to make Seward swear that he had trouble with her on a number of occasions, but he brought his fist down upon the arm of the witness chair with force and most emphatically answered, "So,' sir; I had no trouble with my wife. Every clew he said he had looked up. every conversation he was said to have had regarding tho murder, every accusation he is alleged to have made were fired at him in quick succession in the hope of confus ing the witness, but his answers came quick and were little different from those he had given the defense. The Lena letter received particular at tention at the hands of the attorneys for the State, who tried In every possible man ner to change witness's story of the letter, but their efforts were futile. Seward gained a point when in reply to Mr. Hays s query, "Did you not tell Coro ner King that If you had picked up your wife's body and got blood on your clothes you would have been hung?" he replied, "I did not make that statement, but I did say that if I had picked my wife up and got blood all over me he King would have used that against me and I would be sure to hang. ' All of Seward's direct examination was gone over by the State in an attempt to corner him, but his answers came readily and to all appearances he tried to conceal nothing. The cross-examination of Seward was concluded at 3:30 o clock. A. B. Miller, an attorney of Terre Haute. was the next witness called by the defense. He saw Seward in Terre Haute about the last of May, 1903, and went with Seward to police headquarters. They met Chief of Police Lyons. His testimony brought out the fact that Seward had a conversation with Lyon9 about a letter. That Seward had inquired about a George Nichols and Frank Wilson. Seward had the Lena letter with him. Miller read it. The letter was handed the witness on the stand and he identified it. The purpose of the defense in putting Miller on the stand was to substantiate the de fendant's testimony that he had gone to Terre Haute with the letter: that he had made every effort to find Frank Wilson. and that he did not know who Wilson or George Nichols was.
