Trial opens in murder of Jane Adams at Atlantic City pier
In New Jersey the murder trial of William Seyler began over the February death of 18 year old Jane Adams whose body was found off Chelsea Beach. Prosecutor Clarence Goldenberg described a case of defending the girl’s honor with a strong circumstantial trail. The defense argued death may have been accidental from the pier. Tests found a fatal wound near the left eye and multiple head injuries suggesting a struggle. Seyler, married with two children, faced a crowded courtroom and a jury quickly drawn while his family described him as calm. The girl’s sister Alice Adams testified about the last sighting and the couple on the pier.
