The coat and scarf are the same which Mrs. Hall sent to Burnot's in Philadelphia to be dyed from dark blue jto black, Sept. 20, four days after the |bodies of the minister and choir singer were found on the Phillips farm. It is regarded as a mere coincidence that Mrs. Doris Brunen, under in- dictment in Burlington County for the murder of her showman husband, “Honest John" Brunen, sent a quan- tity of clothing to the same establish- ment while Detective Ellis Parker was in the early stages of the Investi- gation of thht case. Among other criticisms of the local authorities, there have come com- the Philadelphia police that the authorities of New Jersey do not seem to appreciate the help which plaints from the Philadelphia police have been try Ing to give them in the Hall-Mills case.
