INDIAN'S STORY TIGHTENS NOOSE ON TRIBESMAN Witness Says Young Buck Admitted He Killed Columbia Co-Ed. Tip United Press GLOBE, Ariz., March 17— Fat, blanketed Indian squaws and wooden faced Apache braves, squat on their heels outside the little courtroom here waiting for white man’s justice they little comprehend to decide the fate of Golney Seymour, their tribesman. Seymour is accused of the murder of Henrietta Schmerler, Columbia university co-ed who paid with her life for an attempt to learn the customs of the Indians. Inside the courtroom another Apache, Robert Gatewood, had violated traditions of the close-mouths, tribe, telling a story that may hang Seymour. Gives Damning Testimony Gatewood, 19, range rider, told of walking into his hogan on the night of last July 18 and seeing Seymour standing at a basin washing from his hands what appeared to be blood. Seymour paled and bowed his head as Gatewood described the meeting. "What have you been doing?” Gatewood said he asked. ‘Seymour said: ‘l’ve killed the white woman.’ "I asked him: Where?’ "He said: I don’t know; down below somewhere. I was with the white woman. I ‘married’ her. She said she'd tell. I killed her. That’s why. Don’t tell on me, Robert.’ ” Relates Death Threat Gatewood said the next day he saw Seymour again, and asked if ho remembered what he had told him the night before. ‘‘He answered ‘yes.’ He said he’d kill me, too, if I told.” Gatewood’s sister, a plump, placid girl, mother of Seymour’s two children, sat passively in a front row chair, her feelings well concealed. Miss Schmerler came to the White river reservation last June to study Apache life. She was not seen alive after she rode with Seymour toward a native dance neither ever reached.

COLD WAVE BENEFICIAL TO ORCHARD OWNERS Kcduction of Peach Crop Insures Better Prices. By United Press VINCENNES, Ind., March 17. The recent cold wave was beneficial from two horticultural viewpoints, orchardists in this section believe. First, low temperatures retarded development of fruit tree buds, beginning to come out in the warm weather of late February. Second, at least half the buds on prach trees were destroyed, precluding possibility of another bumper crop, such as was harvested last year. In other areas, especially in Illinois, a larger number of buds were killel than in this region, growers said they were informed. If this year's crop would equal last year’s, they said, many farmers would have become bankrupt. But with more than 40 per cent of t his year’s crop killed, the fruit will be of better quality and can be marketed on a profitable basis, farmers said.
