Read his conclusions and see whether you agree with him. By Avery Hopwood. Tn all attempts to detect the person who commits @ crime, the first essential is,to determine the motive, Find the motive behind the crime and you are on a fair way to detect the criminal, This holds true of the New Brunswick murder mystery, the bat- filng tragedy of the Rev. Kdward W. Hall and Mrs. Bleanor Mills, choir soloist and wife of the sexton. What possible motives could have prompted this crime? Could it have been: 1—A Crime of Robbery? Were the clergyman and his woman friend ‘held up" by some man er men who demanded thelr valuables? Did the clergy- man resist them and did a fight ensue in the course of which both Mr, Hall and his woman dompanion were killed I do not think so, In fact, any such hypothesis can, in my opinion, be ruled out completely. The unnecessary mutilation of Mrs. Mills is, in itself, sufficient to discount this theory. 2—An Accidental Crime? Did some person or persons mistake [Hail and Mrs, Mills for some other couple and \tire the shots which ended thelr lives? This theory has enjoyed considerable popularity during the past few days, especially following the arrest of Clifford Mayes, who had been accused by his comrade, Schneider, of having killed Hall and Mrq. Mills undér the mistaken notion that they were Bahmer and his daughter Pearl, This theory has the quality of being unusual and dramatic, but 1 never put much faith in it.
