N0 ARRESTS ARE SEEN IN MYSTERY Hall-Mills Case Prosecutor De- nies Making Other Statement Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 11 (P)— Denial that they had made any stategnent as to the possibility of additional arrests in the Hall-Mills murder mystery, was made today in the name of the Jersey City and state police, by special Prosecutor Simpson in charge of the investigation of the four year mys- tery. Simpson made his announcement at the conclusion of a conference with Inspector Underwood of the Jersey City force and chief of coun- ty detectives, Patrick Hayes, both of | whom were called into the case by him. The three, Simpson said, re- viewed statements gotten by Inspec- tor Underwood from some forty wit- nesses and found “substantial in- formation” in them. He also revealed that Mrs. Jane Gibson, pig raiser, whose story of having seen a woman bending over the bodies of ithe Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, his chorister, was discredited by the first grand jury, and been taken yesterday to the Phillips farm near New Brunswick where the bodies were found. Simpson said again that sho had sfuck to her original story and that he placed much credence in it The detectives, Simpson said, have found the bullets taken from Mrs. Mills' body but he did not reveal in whose custody they now are. He also told of having received a letter from & man named Koch, living in Garrison street, Brooklyn, in which the finding of a fancy shoe buckle at the place where the bodies lay was revealed.

I, Aug. 11 — Dia« mond rings, the number and value | of which could not be determined, were stolen from The Breakers, the residence of Brigadier General and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Saturday night during the progress of an en- tertainment there, it became known last evening. Beyond admitting that they had heard that a robbery had taken place the police d they had not been informed officially and had no information to give out. The belief was expressed, however, that the theft was an “inside” job, perform- ed by one entirely familiar with the palatial Ochre Point residence of anderbilts, Because of a series of robberles in the summer colony last year ex- tra precautions were taken this vear, and two watchmen are on | constant duty at The Breakers, one guarding the grounds and the'other the house, It is not believed that professional burglars accomplished the robbery, as many other articles of value were left behind and dia- mond rin; easily taken and con- cealed, were selected from a mass of jewelry. General and Mrs. Vanderbilt gave diner party Saturday night in advance of a recital by Mma. Frances Alda, of the Metropolitan | Opera company, at Hopendene, the summer Pr residence of Dr. and Mrs. on Pope Satterwhite. The rings re missed the next morning. General and Mrs. Vanderbilt are occupying the estate for the first time this year, the general's mother, | Mrs. Vanderbilt, Sr., having accom- panied her Payn th daughter, Mrs. Harry e Whitney, abroad earlier in summer for the unveiling of the | latter's memorial statue at St. Na- % , France, after which she went to Hungdry for a visit with her other daughter, Countess Laszle echenyi.
