Its captain, John Walters, and purser, Henry A. whman, of No. 446 73d Street, Brooklyn, brought with them # graphic tale of the horrors they wit~ nessed. “T never saw such sights in all my life,"* said Capt. Walters, a 360-pound giant of 4 man, who has sailed the seas for twenty-four years. He broke down and wept as he de- scribed the scenes accompanying the Winona's stay in the stricken port from Sept. 8 until the evening of Sept. 14, when she departed for Piraeus, Greece, with 1,243 refugees aboard. He styled the twenty-hour run from Smyrna to Piraeus as “one voyage of hell,” in which hungry, thirsty men, women and children, many of them Roard Vessel oper almost naked, tramped the vessel looking for fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters they never found. The Winona only weighed anchor on her voyage of rescue when flames ysed to have been started by the made it impossible longer to in the inner harbor. At that Capt.

Van Derzee's agency at eight o'clock {n the morning, At that time the Greek army was retreating into the city, thoroughly routed, discarding arms and uni- forms as they walked, so as to escape identification by the pursuing Turks. A rabble of refugees, fleeing from a region twenty miles wide and 260 miles long, which the Greeks had devastated with fire as they retreated, ompanied the disorganized troops.

(Special From a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., of the Hall-Mills murders has come a solution— Oct. 9.—Out of the tangled puzzle -or a partial solution so amazing that even the Prosecutors, Azariah Beekman of Somer- set County, inside of the boundaries of which the bodies were found, and Joseph E. Stricker of Middlesex, in which the victims of the crime lived, refuse to discuss it without further consideration. Mr. Stricker gave out to-day the following statement: “Upon information in the Prosecutor's office, obtained from {Raymond Schneider and other witnesses, we feel obliged, under the {circumstances to prefer a charge of murder against one Clifford Jlayes. i “Schneider will be held as a material witness, awaiting further developments. Process will be issued out of Somerset County, where it appears the crime was committed, and consequently they will be detained in Somerset County. SHOT WRONG COUPLE, SCHNEIDER SAYS.

Mr, Hall and Mrs. Mills were shot by the bellef that they were another Hayes !s nineteen mistake in couple whom the boys years old and Schneider is twenty-one—had been following His statement to the Prosecutor, is that typewriten into 300 words and signed with Leo her and sworn to by him, Kaufman and Clifford Hayes he followed Pearl Bahmer Nicholas Bahmer, keeper, out on Easton Avenue late on the night of Thursday, Sept. 14 Schneider said he had suspicions of the relations of the stepfather and the girl. Kaufman, when he found the other two boys were in a murderous ood stimulated by HMquor, left them as they started up the hill from Eas | Avenue toward the Philips farm, and stepfather, a saloon across Buccleuch Park, a com ms meeting place for secretive lovers. HAYES OPENED FIRE, HE SAYS. Schneider and Hayes went to the knoll under the apple tree, which both of them had visited in the course of their own adventures. As the reached the tree, Schnelder says Hayes cried out: “There they are, now and, as Schneider caught his arm, added: “Now let me fix thm, pulled out his revolver and began shooting.
