MILLS KILLED BY THREE BULLETY Body Is Exbumed to Clear Up Points in Doubt New Brunswick, N, J,, Sept. 30.-—At 2 o'clock yesterda morning a squad of grave driggers with picks and lan- terns trooped into Van Liew ceme- tery and dug up the body of Mrs |Eleanor Mills, choir leader of tHe {Church of St. John the Evangelist |and wife of the sexton, who, with Dr. Edward W. Hall, the rector, was killed more than two weeks ago. The| exhumation was upon orders of A. M. Beekman, Somerset county prosecu- tor, and was followed by an,autopsy |that settled a controversy concerning exactly how Mrs. Mills came to her |death. : | That, and the.fact that Gov, Ed- |wards has instructed the state police [to assiet the authorities of Somerset |and Middlesex counties in finding the murderer or murderers, were the out- standing features of the 15th day of the investigation. | The autopsy, while settling the con- troversy, threw no additional light upon the secret of the crime, so far 'as Prosecutor Beekman has been able to indicate. The order of the gov- ernor sending state troopers here merely has the effect of putting them back on a job upon which apparently they were called off ten days or more ago. Troops Back on Job. A number of troopers were here {for two or three days after the dis- covery of the bodies of Mrs. Mills and | Dr. Hall. They assited the local | authorities during that time, but have | not since been seen. | The autopsy upon the body of Mrs. Mills was performed by Dr. Runkle F. Hageman of Somerville, Dr. A. L. Smith of New Brunswick, Dr. William . Long, Somerset county physician, jand Dr. E. I. Cronk, health officers of |New Brunswick. The examination was made in the presence of Prosecu- tor Beekman and detectives of Som- erset and Middlesex counties. The findings are at almost complete variance with the report made by Dr Long to Prosecutor Beekman at the time the bodies were discovered, but bear out fully the report of Dr. Cronk who at the request of the Hall fami- ly, examined hoth' bodies before they | were buried. . Autopsy 15 Days Late. The autopsy, revealing information |vital to the solution of the murder mystery, was made just 15 days aft- er the bodies of the couple were |found. If showed that there were three bullet wounds in the head caused by .32 caljbre bhullets of a Itype used in automatic pistols; that| the woman's throat had beer cut ap- parently by a knife, and that no. bones were broken in the woman's ankles | |or legs. These points had been in |controversy virtually ever e Mrs. | | Mill's body was burled two weeks ago. The question of the bullets was im- | portant because it appears to estab-| |lish conclusively that they were not fired from any of the several weapons |in possession of the prosccutor. In |the fortnight since the slaying no step [was taken to clear that point definite- | 1y | The startling point established by | the autopsy leaves the investigators | virtually two weeks behind the search No one connected with the prosecu- [tor's office, however, appears to he deeply upset over the circumstance, Dr. Long, in answer to questions regarding discrepancies between the findings of today and his original re- port on the condition of Mrs. Mill's ? lDr. |did find some seratches and abrasions body declared that he had never made an autopsy upon the body before to- day. His previous report, he sald, was based upon a more or less per- funetory examination, and the reason he did not make an autopsy at the time of the finding of the bodies, he added, *was because he had not been ordered to do so by Mr. Beekman, Heretofore the impression had been permitted that Dr. Long's first exam- ination was an autopsy. Beekman Is Not Worried. Prosecutor Beekman, when told that Dr. Long had passed the responsibility for the bungled situation to him, ad- mitted that he had ordered no autop- sy, but vouchsafed no explanation of why he did not deem such an exam- ination necessary, or whether he did think so. There were several indi- cations, in addition to the governor's letter, that dissatisfactlon is growing over the manner in which the case is being allowed to drag along. Mrs, Frances Hall, widow of the dead rec- tor, has retained Timothy N. Pfeif- fer, formerly an assistant district at- torney of New York county and at- tached to the homicide bureau of that office “personal counsel for Therself and family to carry out their deter- mination to bring about the solution of the mystery of the murder of the Rev, Edward W. Hall." The board of freeholders of Somer- set county decided to offer $500 in each case for the apprehension of the murdeYers of Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills, A reward of $1,000 was offered yes- terday by Middlesex cpunty, provided it is shown the crime was committed in that county. The body of Dr. Hall {8 also to he exhumed, and an autopsy will be per-( formed. Prosecutor Beekman said an application was made yesterday to the supreme court in Brooklyn for permission to exhume the body of Dr. Hall, which is in Greenwood ceme- tery, but that it was refused on the ground that the application was made by an assistant. Prosecutor Beek- man said he himself would make an- other application Facts Shown by Autopsy. The hody of Mrs. Mills was ex- humed about daylight and rushed to the morgue of John V. Hubbard, cor- oner, where the autopsy was per- formed immediatély. Prosecutor Beekman announced later that the autopsy had shown the following facts: é Three bullet wounds were in head. All three bullets were recov- ered from the head. One bullet en- tered the forehead near the hair line and Jodged in the brain tissue. An- other bullet entered the right cheek and also was found in the brain tis- sue. The third bullet entered the right temple region above the ear and just back of the temple. That bullet went completely throughythe head and was found between tH& skull and the scalp, having passed through the skull twice. The skull was fractured, proBably by the first bullet that struck. Any of the three wounds would have been sufficient to cause death, it was stat- ed. A fourth wound was found upon the upper lip which had the appear- ance of having been made by a spent bullet which did not strike with suf- ficient force to break the teeth under the lip. Various theories have beemn ad- vanced regarding the probability of that missile having passed through the head of the woman's companion before it struck her. | The wound tipon the throat was de- | scribed as a ‘“necklace’” wound, and| had the appearance of having been made by a knife in a stroke of a downward trend which encircled the throat at the base of the neck. The slash severed the jugular vein, the varotoid arteries and the esophagus. It was established that Mrs. Mills was not pregnant. . Many Questions Settled. The autopsy not only settled the differences in the reports of Dr. Long and Dr. Cronk but settled many ru- mors. Dr. Cronk was definite in his state- ment that there were three bullet wounds in the woman's head, while Long contended that there were not more than two, or possibly only| one Dr. Long also was of the opin- ion that the woman's throat had not been cut, while Dr. Cronk was quite positive that it had been cut. Nor| any broken bones found, ac- >rding to Mr. Beekman, although he ‘the on one arm. The fact that Mrs. Mill's throat was ent, taken in conjunction with the lac of bloodstains on her clothing, except on the shoulder upon which she lay, tends to strengthen a favor- ite popular theory that the couple were murdered somewhere else than place at which their hodies were found and that the clothes in which they were found were not the ones in which they were dressed when| killed Proponents of this theory point also to the fact that Dr. Hall's coat was slit up the back, which they contend probably occurred when his| body was lifted by other persons. the | L -~ | DRY CONVENTION TODAY.
