W, HALL CHARLOTTE MILLS New Brunswick, N, J., Oct. 12.— Who will write the last act in the tra- gic drama of the famous Hall-Mills murder mystery? It walts the skilled and ingenious| hand of a master playwright—a su- per-detective, a superlative Sherlock Holmes. Tangled threads tle together these chief characters in the drama: MRS, MRS. MILLS RAYMOND SCHNEIDER REV. E. W. HALL, rector of a New Brunswick church, one of the wlclims‘ in the double killing. MRS. ELEANOR MILLS, singer in Rector Hall's church, other victim. MRS. FRANCES HALL, widow of the murdgred man, S ( JAMES MILLS, murdered woman, WILLIE STEVENS, brother of Mrs. cholr the husband of the FRANCES HALL JAMES MILLS PEARL BAHMER CLIFFORD HAYES Hall. CHARLOTTE MILLS, 16, daughter of the murdered woman, who has tak- en the role of Nemesis of the mur- derer, RAYMOND SCHNEIDER, 21, tormer and jalled as a witness. PEARL BAHMER, 15, held as a witness, CLIFFORD HAYES, 19, jailed on a charge of murder. in- HALL-MILLS MURDER MYSTERY UNKNOWXN These people all appear {in the scenes of the drama already enacted. The tragedy had {ts opening Sept. 16 on a farm in Somerset county, just across the line from Middlesex coun- ty, in which {s located New Bruns- wick, the home of the dead rector and choir singer. A great question mark stands where the climax should be to these acts in this drama of real life. MRS, HALL IS AGAIN BROUGHT INTO CASE (Continued from First Page) murder on September 14 of the Rev Edward Wheeler Hall, rector of the Episcopal church of St. John the Evangelist, and his choir leader, Mrs. | Eleanor R. Mills, sought today to} identify a potato knife, found some distance from the spot where the| slain bodies were discovered, and turned over to the local police yes- terday. Detectives considered it pos- sible that the knife was the one used in slashing Mrs Mills' throat. There were spots on the blade which may have been caused by blood. An an- alysis is to be made. Action All Secret. Investigators continued to cloak their actions with a screen of secrecy. Apparently the mystery was just as far from solution today as before the arrest of Clifford Hayes, a youth held on the statement by Raymond Schnei- der, who reported the finding of the bodies two days after the rector and Mrs. Mills disappeared. Schneider charges that Hayes shot the pair, thinking them Nicholas Bahmer and his daughter Pearl, both of whom are being held in jail. Schneider also is under arrest as a material witness. Possibility that Governor Edwards may send the state attorney general to New Brunswick to take charge of the inquiry was expressed here today. Three separate agencies have been case, and it was thought by some that a central au- thority might make greater headway. Separate Investigation. Indlications today were that the state troopers had split with the other investigators and were pursuing a separate line in inquiry. Hints were given in some quarters that, suspect- ing a woman and two men, the troop- ers first were setting out to disprove the case against Hayes. Governor Will Not Act. Jersey City, Oct. 12.—Governor Ed- wards declared today at his home that he had no authority to send At- torney Gen. McCran to New Bruns- wick o supersede the county author- ities in their investigation of the Hall- Mills murder case. “If the local prosecutor requested Mr. McCran to come {in and take charge of the investigation the mat- ter would be entirely up to the at- torney general and T could not and would not interfere,” he added PALAGE - STARTING SUNDAY s L sy Cecil B. onesturs DeMilles PRODUCTION Thomas Mel $bter” Leatrice Joy / Lot¥ Wikson @ Gara mount Gpicture SUNDAY EVENING MARIE PREVOST OFFICIALLY DEAD; | MEET ACCIDENTALLY According to Records They Died of ‘Wounds in France—They Hold Reunion. Syracuse, Oct. 12.—Harry Davis of Canastota, who according to govern- ment records djed of wounds in I'rance, and George Gephart, from Ohio, killed in action, according to same records, buddies in the 14Sth Infantry, met by accident here yes- terday and held a reunion all their own. Davis saw a familiar looking man: He looked like Gephart, but Gephart, he remembered, was killed. The oth- er man looked at Davis and a flash of recoghition came into his eyes. Datis, it appears, was wounded and in a hospital. German aviators bombed the place and he was among the patients believed dead. It was only when a burying party heard him groan that he was saved. By that time he had been listed as dead. Gephart had been left for dead on the battifield, but was picked up and found to be alive. He recovered in a hospital. His wounds rendered him dumb.

Perkins, manager of the Heublein hotel in Hartford was intro- duced to the speakers by Isaac Black. Mr. Perkins in opening his address congratelated New Britain and its leading citizens who are attempting to put a hotel proposition across in this city. Mr. Perkins stated that the two two greatest assets for a good hotel, outside of proper management are quality of food and cleanliness. In referring to the latter the Hartford hotel manager said that many people judge a city by the hotel they put up at while remaining in the city. The speaker also admitted that within the past 10 or 15 years many hotels have been erected in Connecti- cut and Massachusetts cities that have proved failures merely because they were not properly managed. ~ Rotarians At Luncheon Part of the meeting was turned over to the New Britain Rotary club whose members gathered at the hotel head- quarterg with the campaign workers.
