With his friend, Raymond BSchnelder, 21 years old, arrested as a material witness, Hayes spent the night in the Somer- set county jall. Hayes was held in-communicado while Schneider was subjected to an- other long grilling during the night by detectives in an effort to obtain further details. Hayes has steadfastly denieq the allegation made by Schnei- der that the double slaying was a case of mistaken identity the intend- ed victims being 15 year old Pearl Bahmer and her stepfather Nicholas Bahmer. The only theory so far advanced by the authorities for Hayes' motive was a desire to right a supposed wrong done a friend, Schneider, who al- though married, admittedly was in love with the Bahmer girl. 2 Authorities Silent. It was Schneider and Pear] Bah- mer who announced to the police that they had discovered the bodies of the minister and Mrs. Mills under a crabapple tree on the old Phillips farm two days after the crime swvas supposed to have been committed. Prosecuting authorities maintained their reticence today in supplying de- tails of the case. When newspaper- men quectioned them as to many al- leged discrepancies in Schneider's statements the officials declined to elaborate on the meagre details made public yesterday. Stepfather’s Story. Officials at the local prosecutor’s of- fice admitted to newspapermen today that Schneider ‘“was not mentally strong.” Nicholas Bahmer, stepfather of Pearl, took exceptions to the story told by the girl yesterday to the ef- fect that he was intoxicated on the night® of the murder. He declared that he was perfectly sober and was sitting on his porch when Pearl came to him and asked him to take a walli with her. They stopped at a store, he said, and had ice cream. During their talk, Bahmer asserted Pearl complained to him of Schneider’s at- tentions. He told her he had bought a .45 calibre wevolver and that she need not worry, as he would pro- tect her. Pearl Tries Suicide. Pearl, it was learned recently trieu to end her life by jumping into the Raritan canal but was pulled out. She told newspapermen that she was sure Clifford Hayes did not kill the min- ister and Mrs. Mills. “If they take me before the prose- cutor again,” he said, “I'll tell a rcal story."” Pearl went for an automobile ride last night and was seized with an epileptic fit. She was taken to the Middlesex hospftal and relcased after several hours' treatment. Daughter Doubts Story. Charlotte Mills the 16 year old daughter of the murdered woman said: “You will never that Clifford Hayes helieve mother make me shot my Statoment of the ERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, Required of August 24, TH at New of nmx{nm_ 8 in and for the , personally ap- having been State of Connecticut, Count Before me, a notary state and county afore peared T.

Another discrepancy to which the authorities were ‘giving much atten- tion was Schnelder's statement that Hayes did the shooting at about one o'clock on the morning of September 15. . A half dozen ether witnesses have agreed in fixing the time at which they heard screams and shots between 10:30 and 11 o'clock on the night of the 14th. hen Prosecutor A. N.

We are CHICAGO DARK AT NOON Low Clouds, Smoke and Lack of Wind Cause a Strange Effect. Chicago, Oct. 10.—At noon yester- day Chicago found itself in a murky atmosphere which made it nearly as dark as night. Only with difficulty could a pedestrian see across the street. TI'rom all the show and office windows in the *“Loop" artificial lights gleamed. On State street all the show win- dows were lighted and a majority of the automobiles in Michigan Boule- vard had their lights on. Although | the law only requires motor lights be- | tween sunset and sunrize, policemen | advised drivers to light up for safety's sake, On the lake front navigation light were burning at noon. Carl Howell, mate at the river mouth coast guard station, said that fog and smoke cut down visibility so & man on watch in| a lookout tower could not see 106 yards. “The darkness was due to a com- bination of heavy clouds, smoke and of wind,” Forecaster Donnell | said, “The heavy dark clouds are re- | maining low over the city and the| smoke coming from the thousands of factories and buildings is simply ac- cumulating.” lack Wedding presents in Hungary are | said to be glven only to poor cou- pies to help them to get their homes together.

FAVOR ‘MAJORITY VERDICT BE MADE Judges Recommend That 11 Out of 12 Jurors Rule Tallahassee, Fla, Oct. 10.—Recom- mendation that the state's legal code be. amended so that "majority” ver- dicta in both criminal and clvil cases would suffice, was contained in the report of eircult judges who met here at the call of Governor Cary A. Har- dee, to formulate a proposed revision to the legislature at its next session, The judges recommended that in cases where a jury of 12 men is re- quired, the verdict of eleven be ac- cepted while in panels of six men, the opinion of five should prevail. Un- der the present state law, all except capital.cases are tried by juries of six men, 4 Other Plan Another recommendation deals with present procedure under which w judge is automatically disqualified, in a case where two electors sign affi- davits that he is prejudiced, The Judges suggested that the presiding judge be allowed to sit in judgment of himself in determining whether he would he prejudiced if the allegations set forth in the two affidavits were true, Ags an effort to thwart the free- ing of law violators on technicalities, the judges' conference proposed thau the state be given the rigl® of appeal from the judgment of lower courts where cases are dismissed on demur- rer, quashed indictments, or the like. Jury Selection. The provision in the code that coun- sel for the defendant shall have the last argument before the jury when defendant does not take the stand would be eliminated in the proposef changes, The conference also adopt- ed Governor Hardee's suggestion that the jury selection method be stabilized by establishmept in each county of o jury commission who would draw up for prospective jury service the names of not less than 290 nor more than 500 qualified *“male’” persomS. This, with a view to improving the person- nel of juries. No provision has been made in this state as yet for service on juries by women, The present law would be amended to allow the removal for trial to an- other county of criminals when, in the opinion of the governor, circuit judge or sheriff, a fair trial would not be accorded in the immediate commun- ity.

TRADE MAY BE DAMAGED the Liquor Within Three Ruling Forbidding Bringing of Mile Limit May Injure French Commerce. Parfs, Oct. 10.—(By Associated Press.)—The French government is closely studying the situation created by Attorney Gen. Daugherty’s ruling that forelgn vessels shall not be al- lowed to bring any wines or liquors inside the American three mile limit.

The ques- tion of its validity under internation- al law may be raised as well as the bearing the ruling has on the ques- tion of the freedom of the seas. / Suspects Held in Death Of Guide Deny Shooting Marmington, Me., Oct. 10.—Jere- miah William Wheaton of Elmira, N.

Paris, Oct. 10 (By Associated Press)—The particlpation of the Russian soviet government in the con- ference eventually to be held for the restoration of peace in the Near East will be opposed by the allies, it is sald In well informed circles here. If the council of the league of na- | tions, however, desires that Russia shall be represented in the regulation of the freedom of the Dardanelles there probably will be little resistance on the part of the allies. It seems now a foregone conelusion that the league will organize the Dardanelles conference to be held in Geneva, and the allied statesmen are little inclined to interfere with any arrangements the league council may see fit to mak BACK TO IWSPAPER WORK, A.
