Whether Mr. McCran wrill conduct few Inquiry in person or desig- nal say In advance of tho expected court order, It ts believed he may select Joseph Lanigan, one of his staff, to take charge, and it would occasion nO surprise if Detective Ellis Parker of Burlington County is engaged to work on the mystery. “Since I have not been called into the case as yet, I feel that it would hardly be ethical for me to discuss it io any way. Should I be directed to take up the case I will be at liberty to speak. If I do enter the case it will be with no preconceived notions regarding it,"’ said the Attorney Gen- eral, “I have followed the case only as a Private citizen, in the same manner as most other people have, and I have made no special investigation of it. he work of the Attorney General is not along those lines. And I have jurisdiction in criminal matters only through an order issued by Justice Parker directing me to investigate the case. “It would be impossible for me to say now whether I would continue to work with Pros@cutors Beekman of Somerset and Stricker of Middlesex and their staffs, together with the Btate police. The whole point is that I have not been called in and there. fore I cannot talk about it “BUNGLING STUPIDITY" HAMPER SEARCH. It is assumed that Prosecutors Stricker and Beekman of Middlesex and Somerset Counties and the State troopers will continue to give such aid as they may. George D. Totten, County detective of Somerset, says he will keep on working on the jealous theory and that he believes the mya- tery will be solved. The Attorney General, or whomever he may designate to act for him, will be confronted with @ discouraging sit- uation, The ‘bungling stupidity’ of the authorities, to use the language of the rector’s widow's lawyer, puts them @ month behind in their inquiry.

TWO AUTOS TOOK BODIES TO MURDER SCENE. “I am convinced that the murder ‘Was not committed at the farm. They were not killed in New Brunswick, but sonfe place nearby. After they were killed their bodies were put into two automobiles and were taken to the place where they were found." Braun said that his theory of jeal- ousy was based largely upon the packet of letters, which, he said, Mias North had im her possession. “These letters leave no doubt of the intimate relations between Rector Hall and Mrs, Mil said the detactive, “The authorities have not seen these letters and we do not intend to disclose their contents now. We are holding them until the proper time comes, when we will produce them, “The letters show that there was a certain telephone number from which Mrs. Mills often telephoned the rec- tor, She gave this number in the letters, as the place where she vould usually be found at a certain time. We have been trying to trace the calls she received at this number, but have not completed the investigation along this Ine us yet. “I believe that the conspirators lured Rector Hall and Mrs, Mills sep- arately to a place that had been chosen in advance.

RESULTS NOT EXPECTED FOR SEVERAL DAYS. Because there is so much ground to cover over again it ts not believed the new inquiry will begin to show re- sults for several days. It will be necessary for all those who have been questioned heretofore to submit to new examinations. The contents of more of the letters among those found scattered about the rector’s body and in his pockets have become partly known, One of them refers to a visit of Mrs. Mills and the rector to Manhattan Beach and says: T am proud of the respect every- body showed you. It filled me with pride when the man at the gate called you ‘'Doctor."’ It has been learned that some time on Thursday, the day of the murder, Mrs. Mills wrote a long letter to Dr. Hall. It was the last letter she ever T0 MAKE POLICE FOUND DRUNK TELL | 2 SOURCE OF Of yoo | New Sapktipan ¢ Order Also Hints Same May Apply to Civilians, DANCING LIMIT 4 A. M.

While the orders were signed by Chief Inspector Lahey, they apparently were drafted by Commissioner Kn- right, and they come on the heels of Deputy Comnfissioner Leach's assor- tion that drunkenness among mem- bers of the Police Department is re- sponsible for “a murder a week." As given out, the new orders are: 1, "To the Commanding Officers: “The following memarandum from the Police Commissioner is for your information and guidance; “In Mount Vernon any person * * * Dol love you 1 know that now I could leave, now, yes, even your physica ind go into a convent. * * * There | wouldn't see any one touch you, call you ‘dear,' rub your tired body, sew your torn trous terday happy, in a way, tf the he and in the water; but on the way home | was thinking hard. It is supposed that Mrs. Mills either gave this letter to Dr. Hall when she met him Thursday evening or left it for him in the church, from which she was returning at 7.15 o'clock when she met Miss Ople on the street and learned that Dr. Hall had sought her on the telephone at 3 o'clock that af. ternoon, It 1s to bo assumed Mrs. Mills de- livered this letter to Dr. Hall Thurs. day night, for there is nothing to show Dr. Hall was in the church that night and following are some of the facts and discrepancies the new fvestl- gators will have to sift: At 7.30 o'clock that evening the tel- ephone in Dr, Hall's house rang.

She said sho hung up the receiver and did not hear who had called Dr. Hall. James Miiis says that at 7.15 o'clock 1@ was on the back porch of his home, working, and that about 7.30 o'clock his wife told him she had had a tele- phone call and shortly thereafter she left the house. He said to he: “Where are you going?’ and she re- plied, “Follow me and see.” KNEW SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED. Mrs. Hall says she retired about 11 o'clock, but did mot sli At 2,30 O'clock she says she got up and aroused her brother, Willie, She sald she knew something terrible had hap- pened, and she didn’t know what to do, She said the only thing she could think of was to go to the church on the chance that Dr. Hall had gone there and fallen asleep, When she got to the church, she says, she found it locked. Mrs. Hall is Willle’s only alibl. She places him a second time by suying that “Willle tried the church door and couldn't open it.” She saw no light in the church, and adds that she was “frantic.” Then she says: ‘From the mere ‘act that Dr, Hall sald he was geing to the Mills house when ne left I thought perhaps that might be where ho was going.” She says she went to the Mills house, saw no light there and went back home. “My tho downtown," she adds, found publicly intoxicated is arrested and required to make an affidavit stating where he obtained the Uquor causing the intoxication. This amfi- davit is made the basis of a search warrant directing a search of the Place selling the liquor. “This is but one of the many means which might be employed to put an end to violation of the Proh! bition law. The plan seems to work out successfully in Mount Vernon. “2.

If it is found that the officers have failed to take proper \action where the law has been vio- lated additional charges should be preferred agaist them and if the case is a serious one they should be sus- pended from duty. “3. Cabarets and Dance Halls: ‘abarets and dance halls having resumed business for the fall and winter season will be carefully in- spected from time to time and prop- erly regulated. The majority of these places disregard provisions of the Prohibition Law and should be given rigid supervision. “Commanding officers will see that music and dancing at these places is stopped at 1 A.
