CONFESSION MAKES HALL-MILLS MURDER MORE OF A MYSTERY * THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, SITE EPS SF ER ST EEO TE TIT a eT ITE SE ASC OCTOBER 9, 1922. _ . Court House and gaped at its windows * all through the morning, came twen- ty-three-year-old Joe Hayes, brother 3 ‘of the accused boy » 4 BROTHER DIDN'T DO SAYS. “My brother didn’t do it,’ he shouted at a man who spoke to him sympathetically. ‘He is’ not that Kind of a boy. He couldn't do it He had no reason to do it “They may swing him for it, but by heaven, they will never prove that he did that murder.” Hayes sald his brother was an ap- prentice printer, but had been out of ‘work for some time. “Good God," he said after an effort te control his feelings, “if we only had more of those old-fashioned mothers who made a boy account for his time when he came in late w ‘would all of us be better off.’ Then he broke down and was led away sob- bing. The police made a search of the Hayes home and found a revolver— not an automatic pistol. The belated 4 autopsies held last week established beyond all doubt that an automatic pistol was used by the murderer. ‘When word was taken to the home of Mrs. Frances Hall, widow of the rector, against whom suspicions of the Prosecutors had been frankly di- rected as having “the motive and the opportunity" to commit the crime her ever loyal little old maid friend, Sally Peters, spoke for her. “Isn't that fine!"" she exclaimed. “Ten't it simply fine! What has Mr. Stricker got to say for himself now for the way he has been treating Frances and Willie?" In review of the methods of the investigators of the murders pub- the investigators of the murders published last Friday in The Evening World the first point made was that the Prosecutors had ac- cepted the first statements made by Schneider and the Bahmer girl ac truthful, though their story that they had found the bodies while “looking for mushrooms" was a patent lie. A week after the murders the de- tectives persuaded Nicholas Bahmer to make a charge of incorrigibility against his step-daughter in order to intimidate her into telling something they believed she was holding back. The girl asked for an opportunity of talking to her step-father, and after she had hissed four or five words into his ear the incorrigibility charge was promptly withdrawn and the girl was allowed to go free. Schneider is a married man, but, ac- cording to the other boys, had prom- ised the Bahmer girl to get a divorcee go that he could marry her if she would satisfy him as to his jealousy against Nick Bahmer. | “Bo it wes a mistake,” said James Mills, when told of Schneider's statement. “My God, what a mistake. I am not. inclined to believe Schneider's story. At that, it may be true. But who ts going to pay for the mistake? I have to pay for the funeral of my wife. What I \get out of this is the wreck of my family. “My little girl is in the last year of the high school, I cannot take her away from her education to help me. Mrs, Hall has servants at her com- mand; I bave to get my own meals and do my own washing, and have to hold down two jobs—janitor of the church and of the Lord Sterling High School—to support myself and my two children. It the statement of Schneider is true, the Prosecutor holds that it is of no legal importance now where Mrs. Hall and her brothers, William and Henry, were during the night of Sept. 14-15. The public curiosity as to the motives of the persons who tucked some of the erotic letters which had passed between Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills in his pocket and strewed the rest of them over the bod- jes may never be satisfied. Whether the persons who admit presence at the murder tried to cut off the head of Mrs. Mills in insane rage and sus- picion against the Bahmer girl may be brought out by the effect of counter gocusations between Schneider and Hayes. It may even be shown t the two nights and a day IT, HE during and @ halt during which the bodies of the rector und Mrs, Mills lay on the knoll unde the crab apple tree that or mot of thove who bad guilty knowle the slaying visited the place and ser the ghastly scene in a way in ¥ they thought would best direct suspi cion to those who might have had a real reason for anger aguinst the couple. BUSINESS SUSPENDED IN NEW BRUNSWICK. Business in New Brunswick was practically suspended to-day Out of the murmur of voices on the street the only words which could be dis tinguished had to do with the con- fession of Schneider and the vindica- tion of the wife of the rector accom- panied by moralizing as to the justifi- cation of the precept “the wages of sin is death.” The city has just come to realize what the existence of a state of af- fairs disclosed by the murder invest:- gation means, The official sea:ch- light—dim as it has been—thrown across the place on the night of Bept 14 has shown that two other couples, both members of the Rev. Mr. Halil church and directed by him spiritu- ally, were surreptitious visitors to the farm that same night. It is regarded as possible that there were stil] other tryst keepers on the place. ‘Whether Schneider's confession is the whole truth or not, it is sufficient to establish that the murderers were in the group of which he was a mem- ber and that they did not flee from the scene in an automobile, Yet it is established that two automobiles run- ning at top speed came from Easton which killed the Rev. Mrs. Mills were fired. ‘The authorities apparently have ex- enerated Leo Kauffman from any share in the crime.

We have made a mistak and we both ran. I don't know how Mrs, Mills's throat came to be cut or how the bodies were Intd out.’” Schnelder said he took Pearl Bah- mer to the spot Saturday to prove to her his ntory of the determination of Hayes to kill her and her stepfather Leon Kauffman was kept on the grill until 11 o’clook last night. When released he sald that tectives that he Haycs in George Street about 10.30 the night them followed Pearl man Schnelder was excited and angry. he had told de- met Schnelder and of the murder, and with Bahmer and a who seemed to be Intoxicated. “As we neared Seminary Place and hnelder took his Kauffman sald, “ond said Ho gave the coat We saw the man and toward the Raritan River at Bishop Place, and then Hayes took a pistol from a holster he carried under his sweater, and started to follow them.

MILLS ASKS. “Pearl Bahmer was crying and try- ing to pull away from the man. Hayes crawled right up behind them. The man saw him and said, ‘What are you doing here?’ and Hayes replied, ‘I want to put in a couple of hours’ sleep here.’ Then the man and Pearl Bahmer walked back to George Street and started west. When they got to the College Avenue entrance to Buc- cleugh Park they disappeared. We were a considerable distance behind them at the time and we lost them. “We walked further west on George Street until we were opposite the ol pavilion near the Raritan River in the Then Schneider and Hayes I followed them We went around the purk at the old entrance on Col- between Huntington the culvert.

David Hirshfield, of Accounts, obtained statements from several witnesses to-day in support of bis charge that District Attorney Ruston of Brooklyn has subpoenaed large quantities of liquor seized by the police and has retained the best of it for his personal use. The evidence to-day concerned three cases of Scotch. ‘Yhe first witness before the Commis- eloner was Capt. John H. Gillen of the 76th Precinct, Brooklyn. “On Sunday, May 9,"' said Gillen, “Patrolman John R. Isaacson seized a quantity of liquor at 62d Street and Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn. A part of the seizure consisted of nine cases of Black and White, Haig & Haig and King George IV. One case of Black and White was opened and a sample bottle was sent to District Attorney Ruston. “Three days later Ruston subpoe- naed three whole cases, one each of the three brands I have named. They were. delivered on May 11, receipted for by Assistant District Attorney Snyder and never returned to my sta- tion,"” Q. Do you know the process of pros- ecution in such cases? A. I do in a general way, but since the passage of the Prohibition Act I have not been quite so sure as I was under the old Excise Law. I do know, however, that the policeman who makes the selzure must submit a sample to a chemist, must afterward identify the sample, and that the chemist must testify to {ts alcoholic content. The ease stands or falls by the sample, which may be any amount from an ounce to a half pint. Q. Then when the District Attorney subpoenaed the original bottles they could not be used as evidence? A. I knew it was an unusual pro- ceeding, We were ready to give legal evidence, and we did not regard the District Attorney's three cases as evi dence, The cases we sent him were intact. John R.
