HALL DISCARDED CHURCH DRESS NIGHT | “OF AMURDER; MILLS, WIFE QUARRELLED (Continued from First: Page.) @ays the wife retorted and added the frank statement of the choir singer's preference for the minister, Mr. Mills, the neighbor said, walked into another room and slammed the door behind him. ‘I'm terribly ‘unhappy and dis- satisfied here,"’ Mrs. Mills told Miss Opie in half apology. “I have got to get away.” She said she thought of going to an Episcopalian retreat of which Mr. Hall had told her for a@ long rest. Miss Opie also added to the informa- tion regarding the anxiety of the Rey. Mr. Hall to get a message to Mrs. Mls ‘onthe afternoon before they left their homes. Miss Opie » she could nat. possibly have mistaken the voice of the Rey, Mr. Hall when he askéd her to get M Mills on the telephone at 3 o'clock, telling her the matter whs very urgent. He seemed much agitated. “Edid not like. their using my tele- Dhone that way," sald Miss Opie, “bat J. could’ hot ~very well. refuse. Their affair was common gossip in the | nejghBorbood «and. 1. have for months predicted that It would: end in‘a frightful scandal...1 did) not want. my home ty be mixed’ up with: its - . “But he seemed so anxlous that I @id not hesitate to call out of my window several times at the Mills's windows, There was no answer. Later, about 7.30, 1 saw Charlotte on the street and asked her where her mother was, She, said her mother had gone overt to the church to leave some clippings and’ notices on the rector’s desk. “Mrs, Mills came up just then. She was’ wearing a bre that 1 helped was of light ‘Swiss batiste trimmed with red vibbons which Mr. Hail had given her, left over from the wrap- ping Of tlre gifts on last year's Christ- mas ‘tree at the chureh. She asked me how I ]iked the dress and sald she thought herself it was ‘too giddy for her.’ . “L told her of the message and she nodded as though she had already heard about it aid ‘L know what that was.’ Then she walked off to ward (hi et-car Une on George Street playing with a nickel she bad told Charlotte I did not see not nand She © with her again.” Miss Opie says Mrs. Mills declined an invitation tu go into the house and telephone, and believes that the sex- wife wanted to teleprone from a * where her refations with the tuinister were not so well known and sought the telephone in the Blatz grocery. Mills has -insisted all along hin wife was ‘not dressed, up” when she left her home, but had on an old dress and her second bext shoes, which.were rather shabby. The described by Miss Opie was on pody when found, but it was- 50 torn and stained that the authorities did not reulize It was a dress she had worn for the first time During the examination detectives were constantly being sent to the home of Mills to compare his state- ments with those of his daughter Charlotfe without giving ~ the two a chance to compare notes. The most thorough questioning of scores of persons who were on the streets near the rectory of St. John in h that the Evangelist a week ago Thursday , evening bas not disclosed any one who saw the Rev. Mr. Hall when he went out of his front door, : presum- ably to keep an appointment with Mrs. Mills, On George Street, through which the Rev. Mr. Hall would have passed going to the Mills home, where his wife reports he sald he was going, there were many persons sitting on front porches and doorsteps. Not one ef them remembers having seen the rector pass. This may be due to the fact that the minister was not wear- Ing his clerical collar or customary black, a circumstance which has only to-day been noted as significant by the authorities. Prosecutor Stricker believes that something happened in the Hall home that evening which made necessary immediate action in the plan of the Rev. Mr. Hall to abandon the pre- tense of secrecy in his relations with the choir singer and clope with her to Japan, It is not yet clear if he knew that bis preparations for fight in laying aside money and winding up the affairs of his pastorate had been discovered or if he had learned he had been spied upon, not only by his eccentric brother-in-law, Willie Btevens (who had been his note car- rier), -but also-by an employee about the place not noted in the com- munity for a nice sense of honor Mr. Stricker now believes that the Rev. Mr, Hall did not go from his home directly to Nicoll Avenue, on which It ‘faces, but went around the house and through a side path to Redmond ‘Street, which ts quiet and not so well lighted. He wore a light sult, a low-rolled collar buttoned tn nt, and a four-in-hand white tle ing through Redmond Street tc Throop Avenue he-was on thw trolley line which ends at fuceleuch Park, where he had frequently been seen sitting on a secluded bench with Mrs. Hall, Motorman John Meany, of the pay- fas-you.enter local car wi; between the park termina city, remembers very clearly that Mrs, Mills boarded his car a jittle after § o'clock, The only other pussengers when the car passed out of the closely populated part of town was Thomus Coyne, another motorman, and his Little girl. Mre, Mills talked to Coyne’s Uttle girl and petted her and also talked with Coyne, whom she had known since they were children, Mrs. Mills got off at the end of the fine and walked at a loisiely pace {nto the park toward the bench in the evergreens, Had she hurried, the guthorities deduce, it would indicate {that the rector was already at the meeting plate wziting for her. . * ‘The next car was a big through cay MILLER’S SLATE, OR NO MILLER, IS —RISULTIMATUM (Continued from First Page.) sity, be behind him, meant by the Miller Mr. Koenig this that the delegates to convention would vote as the exigencies of the case required, Word had heen to Koenig that almost anybody would be ac- cepted on tho slate of Nate except Lyons, No reason is given for the elimination of Lyons except that he was not wanted on the ticket ay, Millerswas besonght in the in- terest both of Lyons und the ticket in geheral. It was then that the Gov- ernor made It clear to the leaders of the Republican Party that Lyons and Newton and all others must be sub- servient to Goy, Miller. The Chief Executive had intended to spend the rest of the month at his summer home at Lake George, but in the final andlysis agreed with the leaders -hut he could spend the clos- ing hours leading up to the eonven- tion with more profit to himself and his party by remaining in Albany, Up to an early hour this morning it was apparent that Gov. Miller's pro- gramme had won and that there would bo no necessity of his retiring from the head of the ticket. To those who have been close observers there never was any fear of his refusing to accept the nomination for Governor. The Governor ts the life and em- bodiment of the Republican Party so far us the Stato is concerned withstanding his statement of yester- t he would not be standard eat nless he was assured that his running mates would be men who would work in co-operation with him in his policies, nobody in Albany be- lieves for one moment that he will not be at the top of the ticket. The Governor 1s not only the leader of the State ticket but he js the whol works of the party in New York. United States Senator Calder came up y yesterday afternoon to see the Governor and so did Ogden Mills, New York City's leader. Neither had an appointment with the Chief Ex- ecutive and neither had any doubt he could jump into a cab and go right from Perth Amboy, with a motorman and conductor, It wus crowded with passengers until pretty well out of town. The conductor and motorman were Perth Amboy men and did not know the Rev. Mr. Hall. In his in- fortnal dress there was nothing to have distinguished him as a clergy- man, und while Mr. Stricker believes the Rev, Mr. Hall was on that car, he has little hope of being able to prov: it The re-examination of the clothing which waked the authorities up to the signifieance of the semi-disguise af- fected by the Rev. Mr. Hall when he left his home for the last time was due to an effort to retrieve some of the neglect regarding the autopsy and observation of the bodies of the min- ister and the singer when their bodies were found. It has been established to the satisfaction of Mr. Stricker and Prosecutor Beekman that, in spite of their previous guesses to the con- trary, the murders were committed on the spot where the bodies were found. The minister ore a stiff bosomed irt. Tt is not be- id have been dragged or being shot through the head, without mussing or staining that garment. The conviction ts sup- ported by the finding of three pistol shells which apparently fell where they dropped after being automatic- ally ejected. These shells have here- tofore been explained by Assistant Prosecutor Toolan and Mr. Beekman as representing bullets which were fired into the murder victims after they had been killed. The condition of Mr. Hall's clothing, however, has disposed of this charge upon the slayers of particularly vicloys te- rocity. The explanation put forward by in- timate friends of Mrs, Hall that th minister was ellently kidnapped just outside his front door and thrown into a. closed car to be taken to his death, is not sertously considered by the official investigators, carried, afte ——- Round Trip Atlantic City SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1 SPECIAL TRAIN LEAVES Pennsylvania Station judson Térmioal Jersey Clty : raing Lea -Atlantle City (8 Cafolina Av.) 7.00 P.M, + gf Similar.

Donovan was or whether he going to show up in Albany Donovan shows about as mueh ins clination to run for Lieutenant Goy- ernor as Gov Miller did to run for the top office two years ugo .As a matter of fact, Col, Bul has no hankering for the office, He ling made no reservation in Albany so far as can be learned, and {f the pa leaders are looking to him for whoop-up of enthuslasm, they may be disappointed. Secretary of State Jack Lyons much in evidence, and his only swer to all inquiries was pected to be nominated to suc himself. Up to an early hou morning the result of the meeting the New York County Committee was awaited, but no report came Gov. Miller's leaders were looking. forward to it with great expec It was thought here that the Gover- nor’s declaration that he would not run unless all the candidates were acceptable to him would bar the name of Lyons, indorsed by the New Yori committee, but all through the night and the early morning hours no word came from Manhattan. ‘To-day the delegates from Manhat- tan, Kings, Queens, the Bronx and Richmond will reach Albany and ther. will be a lot of Lyons boosters in the groups. Independent of the leaders who will bend their necks to the Miller yoke, there are a number that will vote for Lyons and yell for Ly- ons and vote for Lyons. From up-State there will come boosters for Atorney General Newton and important leaders will espouse his cause. But Gov, Miller has laid down his foot—the Miller slate against the field. The demand is Miller for Governor and if the Governor doesn't want Newton, Lyons or anybody else on t ticket, it looks as if they wouldn't on It. ee ARRANGING GUARANTEES ror AUSTRIAN LOAN.
