Miss Alice Thornton, pretty Wall St. stenographe, and Charles Scul- lion, Cline’s breher-in-law, are to be tried with him for alleged participa- tion in the crise. Bergen, accofing to the prosecu- tion, was luredto the Cline cottage at Edgewater sy the director and Miss Thornton, ’ormer sweetheart of Bergen. It i# clarged that Cline shot and killed Bergn after he accused the latter of misconduct with Mrs. Cline. Cine’s dfense is that he shot the movie stunj actor, who was his “best friend,” wien he made a treach- @rous move asthe two were about to engage in 4 pistol duel in the Cline home. According tothe director, Bergen numbed Mrs. @ine’s sense of pro- Priety by forcige her to drink wine in her hotel rogn, and then attack- ed her.

NORTH Attorney for Charlotte Mills (Copyright, 1922, by United Press.) NEW BRUNSWICK, N, J., Oct. 22.—The rendezvous of death, where the hired slayers of Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills hid near the scene of the crime on the eve of the double killing, was discovered by my oper atives last night. I believe they have located the building, not far from the spot where the bodies of th» pastor and the sexton’s wife were found, tn which the assassins were concealed wntil darkness furnished an in- scrutable cloak for their task. It fa the same building in which the mysterious woman in gray was seen to dinappear late on the afternoon of September 14, murder. In this building we bellevo this woman in gray, who instigated the double murder, met, possibly for the first time, the gunmen who were to do the actual siay- ing. There, it would seem likely, she gave them their final instruc: tiona. According to witnesses who fur nished us with this latest clue to/ the murderera, the woman fn gray went to this house, which already concealed the paid assassins, and was not again seen before dark. Possibly she remained there with them until the hour came for the! kidnaping of Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills. I have information leading me to conclude that $1,000 was paid to a woman whose house is believed to have been the death rendezvous, to shut her up. My operatives have obtained several leads point ing to this woman's dwelling. But each time she {ts questioned she “knows nothing.” The authorities have had, it i* understood, an opportunity to gues- tion her, If she has told them more than she would tell our de- tectives, the fact has been kept secret. While the hired gunmen sat in the house, waiting for dark, the two murder cars used in the kid- naping and after the crime, were probably those seen standing in the Jane not far from Phillips farm. William O'Rourke and Jack White, both of this town, are the men who have been quoted as saying they saw the cars parked there.

We ati! hope to be able to con front the woman in gray with the accomplices. As for this woman, who was seen near the crime spot that fatal Tharsday, we are be- winning to find evidences of her power. It is almost uncanny the way apparent clues lead to blind alleys once my men get started. We hope some day to reconstruct the scene in that little house nen: the farm where, on the eve of the murder, the woman in gray met with her paid assassins. The fury of jealousy that led to the cutting of Mrs, Mills’ throat Was probably the only thing that sustained her courage thru that test.
