BY DOROTHY DIX. Special Dispatch to The Star. SOMERVILLE, N. J.. Noverber 11. Tho effect of the testimony of Bar- bara Tough was to remove the walls of the Hall house and let you see the lite that went on within. You saw the big, comtortable, luxu- rious home, with its many chambers— the room old Mrs. Stevens occupled before she dicd! Willie's room. with the little boy's rifle in the closet; Mrs. Hall shaking up the pillows of a couch in her room; Dr. Hall's bathroom, where he shaved with an old- fashioned razor, the same color, but smaller, than the one that Senator Simpson. offered in evi- dence: the servants’ room in the third story, where at night they kept unconscious tab on the doings of the family by the sound of their footfalls; the maids in the kitchen gossi their emplovers, knowing thin { their mistress’ husband that s {not know and tittering over his affair with the pretty choir singer—and on {the day after Dr. ilall failed to come home, Mrs. Hall wandering restlessly ut the house, asking futile ques- Itions of her maid about why he had {not come back, where he was, and | tacitly bidding for her sympathy. | Barbara Misses Nothing. Barbara Tough is a_bonny Scotch lassie, twin sister to Barrie's Leedy, {who went to see the minister's wife sat dumb, and apparently over- awed the entire time, without once |lifting her eves to look about her. Yet when she went home she knew how many cracks there were in the walls, how often the table cover had been darned, and that a chair had been spot in the carpet and [a tidy covered a hole in the chair. | Barbara_is also one of the all-seeing jand allknowing. You may be sure that nothing escapes the eyes behind {her big, round glasses, and if she | doesn't tell everything she knows it lis because it Is in her blood to be canny and leal. | She Is the kind of maid that every {housewife dreams ahout—young, but old enough not to be flighty; quick and alert in her movements, efficient {and reliable. from b {gond ¢ of mald who would keep her own place and keep | her mistress in hers. Senator Simpson began by asking her what she knew about the rela tionship between Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills, and Barbara smiled—the smile of joyous anticipation that every wom- |an’s face wears when she sits herself {down to a feast of scandal. But_just as she got into her stride {and the audience was sitting on the |edge of its chairs lapping it up, as {she told how once she went down to the church on some errand and, not {finding Dr. Hall In his study, went {into the wuild room. where she found | Mrs. Mills sitting on his lap, Senator | Case interrupted the narrative with a thousand objections. j Gossip Kept Secret. Nor was Barbara permitted to re- late the gossip that was current in 1 the church about the rector and the | choir singer, nor even to tell what people said about Dr. Hall and Mrs. i Milis_staying together alone down at {the Boy Scout camp while Mrs. Hall Istaved In town. Nor was she per- |mitted to give her opinion whether | Mrs. Hall knew of these goings on or { not, though she sajd she and the other servants often talked them over. | { 'The Thursday on which Dr. Hall innd Mrs. Miils disappeared, Barbara | sala she went to the Parker Home for | Incurables. (She was ent_there to watch if Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills passed by, Mrs. Mills’ sister whispered darkly behind me.) She did not get back home until 10 o'clock at night, when she went straight to her room, and knew nothing more until about 2 | {o'clock, when she heard Mrs. Hall | {moving about downstairs. Hall said to 1 did not come t night.” And she . “Didn’t he?" or such foolish or insane thing as one says under such circumstances. Later in the day M Hall said to : “Barbara, where do you think he an be?” And she said, “T wish I could tell you.” And so the dreadful day of uncer- | tainty wore Mrs. Hall iooking sad- like and worrled, but keeping calm and quiet. Tells of Phone Call. Once she telephoned to some one connected with the church that Mr. Hall wouldn't be at the cholr practice that night; that he wasn't at home. And she sent for Mr. Hall's sister, who came and took back home with her her little daughter, who had come out to spend a week with the Halls. And Mrs. Hall gave her Dr. Hall's | white socks to wash, as she always 1 did. { But concerning the climax of the | tragedy, when the bodies were found, {she knew nothing, except that some- thody called Mrs. Hall up on the tele- ;phone and she heard her say, “No, {Dr. Hall hasn’t come.” Then, “Don't tell me anything about it; don't tell me anything about it." PBarbara is not gifted—or cursed— with imagination, and apparently it did not occur to her that she was look- !ing on at a drama more thrilling, ! more poignant, more terrible, than any over which she ever wept and { shuddered in her beloved movies. For {she was watching a woman with a | breaking heart trying to carry on and keep up appearances and to hide from the world as long as possible that her {husband was missing: ashamed to {call up the police and tell them that | she feared that he had run off with {another woman; making pitiful ex- : < to his church people; having his clothes set in order, as if, by providing {for his needs, she could make him | come back—doing anything to keep from thinking, to keep from facing the truth. Or else she was watching a woman who carried the secret of a ghastly murder in her heart, and who waited through endless, desperate | hours for the messenger to come to | tell her it had been discovered.

She told of discovering Mrs. Mills sitting on Mr. Hall's knees, about four vears before the crime. Simpeon, contending that jealousy and hate were the motive for the crime, has malintained in court that Mrs. Hall must have known about the love affalr. Miss Tough denied certain state- ments she had made at the original grand jury investigation of the dou- ble slaying. In describing before the grand jury Mrs. Hall's appearance two days after the slaying and before the bodles had been found, Miss Touch wus quoted in the transcript of the testimony as saying that Mrs. Hall was “shaking.” On the witness stand vesterday she asserted she had not said Mrs. Hall was “shaking,” but had said Mrs. Hall “was shaking the cushions,” referring apparently to cushions on a couch or chalr. Asked if she did not say before the grand jury that Mrs. Hall was excited, Miss Tough said: “I don’t rememoer.” She insisted Mrs. Hall was “calm. Dr. Alfred L. Smith of New Bruns- wick testified that Mr. Hall, eight months before the slaying, had en- gaged him to treat Mrs, Mills for fliness and to perform an operation for kidney trouble. The witness said the minister agreed to pay him $10 a month for 20 months, but that he re- ceived only $30 of the promised $200. Doctors told of scratches and bruises found on the bodies of the slain _couple. This testimony was brought out by the State to uphold its contention that there was a struggle before the two were killed in the dark- ness of a September night on a farm near New Brunswick. | The question when the State’s star witness, Mrs. Jane Gibson, will be able to testify is still in doubt.

It also voted disapproval of the National Cap- ital Park and Planning Commission for changing Michigan avenue into a boulevard, with several sharp curves, instead of making it a straight thor- oughfare.

Mess of North Braddock, Va., near here, was seriously injured shortly after 8 o'clock this morning when his automobile and a car of the Washington and Virginia electric line collided at North Braddock Station. The automobile was wrecked, and Dr. Mess was unconscious when re- moved to Alexandria Hospital. Phy- sicians there treated him for a frac- tured rib and bruises. First aid was given by Mrs. N. R. Davies, county health nurse, who was_a passenger on the trolley car. M. P. Frasa of Alexandria, conveyed the injured man to the spital, ac- companied by Mrs. Davles, who later went to the home of Dr. Mess to in- form his wife of the mishap. Dr. Mess was driving east when the accident occurred. He had just left his residence. The trolley crew consisted of Motorman R. J. Hayden and Conductor George Tallout. At North Braddock station a year ago a motorist driving west was fatally in- ured. In their report Motorman Hayden and Conductor Tallout said the ac- cident today was due to the failure of Dr. Mess to heed the whistle of the trolley car, which is alwavs sounded at the crossing. The trolley was run- ning about 12 miles an hour, with the controller off, preparing to stop for two passengers. Officials of the rail- way company said the crossing view is unobstructed. 1S SET FOR TODAY Job Barard Building Cere- monies to Feature Address by Yaden. James G.
