Mr. Mott retired as Axssistant Prosecutor in Newark last May. He is a Republican in politics, He has ap pointed County Detective James Mason of Newark as his special inves- tigator of the murders. HAS SNEAD AND M’FARLAND CASES TO HIS CREDIT. Mr. Mott has handled some noted murder cases. Among the convic- ons to his credit was that of Allison M, McFarland, charged with the mur- der of his wife Oct. 18, 1911, in order t be free to love another woman, whose letters signed “Bunny wife" were read at the trial to show motive, Another was the case of Mrs. Ocey ‘W. M. Snead, the frail subnormal girl ‘whose body was found in a bathtub in her home in East Orange in March, 1910, Mr. Mott established the motive of her aunt, Mrs. Virginia Wardlaw, \nd her mother, Mrs. Catherine Ward- law Martin, for the girl's death by showing she carried §29,000 Insurance and that in the event of her death the relatives would inherit large realty holdings. Miss Wardiaw starved her- self to death in jail; Mrs. Martin pleaded guilty to voluntary man- ‘laughter. One effect of the entrance of Mr, Mott into the case will be to givo the State Constabulary freedom of action. Heretofore, they ,have had to make their reports to the local prosecutors and be guided by them in carrying on, The local investigators, at odds among themselves, have spoiled a lot of the Stato men's work by their eagerness to get ahead of each other on trails gained from the State Police reports, spoiling the constabulary’s work in many instances. Prosecutor Beekman at Somerville on receipt of the news from ‘Trenton Jocked himself in his office, after post poning the Grand Jury hearing until the afternoon. Callers on him were directed to write thelr names and business on a piece of paper and slip it under his door, One or two offl- clals or old friends were admitted. Prosecutor Beekman sent County Detective Totten to Prosecutor Strick- ers office early to continue tho joint inquiry of the two counties. A detec- tive was sent in a hurry to Lavalette to interview the wife of Henry H. Stevens, brother of Mre, Hall. In an Interview with a reporter of the New York Times Saturday night, Mrs, Stevens was quoted as saying her husband was out fishing in a boat until 10.30 o'clock at night, when he came in and went to bed on a cot in the rear of the ‘‘den"’ in his bunga- low. DIFFERENCE IN STORIES OF STEVENS AND WIFE. In @ stenographic version of his statement as taken in the Court House when he was called a week 0, Henry Stevens represents bim- -elf-as fishing from shore—not from % boat—going home at 10.30 o'clock, finding his wife waiting up for him and retiring with her. For some reason, Mr. Stricker re- tds the differences in detail between ese two statements as highly im- portant. It is possible the detective, who !s in Lavalette, may require Mr. Stevens and his wife to be questioned under oath here or In Somerville. In the Western Union telegraph of- fice here, Mr. Stricker {is informed, are two telegrams sent by Mr. Hall lute in August or early in September. Ope of them is supposed to be ad- dressed to Henry Stevens breaking an ehgagement and the other is to a woman in New York informing her that the Rev. Mr. Hall would be at her apartment late in the evening.

He calls Mrs, Mills “My own dear, dear wonder heart,” and says, "Oh, darling, it fs #0 yery good to be alono with you.” In the last of the batch he tells of his arrangements for returning to New Brunswick and go- ing for a walk with her~"Ob, happy days to dream of." “Dearest, the wholo heart's love of D.

After reading in to-day’s news- papers Mayor Hylan’s statement in which he sald “tho most valuable franchise in the city next to that of subway operation is the franchise for operation of buses,"’ Transit Commissioner Mc« ny replied: It would be interesting to every one, I think, if the Mayor would explain why, in the case of his political bus lines, privileges that he holds to be ‘most valuas ble’ have for three years been given away for nothing. Where, for instance, has all of this par- ticular ‘stream of nickels’ really gone,-none of it having reached the city treasury? “Following some remarks of mine upon this side of the subject three four weeks ago, the Joard of Estimate, in voting a re- newal of the permits to the May- or’s bus operators, required that in future they shall pay 5 per cent, of their gross earnings to the city by way of franchise fees.
