Flood of Theories.
The Fairfax county authorities have
been flooded with theories during the
past few days. While many OF those
which are within reason are being run
down. more attention Is being given
to investigating the movements on the
day OF the crime OF Lou Hall. now in
the Fairfax Jail as a suspect, and a
top sergeant from an engineer COM
pany. who deserted from Camp
Humphries on August 3. The soldier
has not been arrested as a suspect
but since his arrest at Charlottesville.
Va, on August 10, he has told so many
conflicting stories that he will be
checked up. He has stated positively
that he drank water at a spring some
where between the camp and Char
lottesville, where he surrendered.
Had he gone on a direct route from
Camp Humphreys to the old Hanse
house spring. the soldier would have
passed the home OF the dead girl He
would also have passed the home OF
Lou Hall.
1t was stated last night by Walter T.
Oliver, Halls counsel, that the wife Of
In an effort to determine whether or
not the soldier had stopped at the Hall
home on the day of the killing.
The authorities are known to be in
vestigating theory that Eva Roy was
not done to death at the spring or at
the spot eighty feet distant where her
hat and garter were later found by
searching parties.
Slain At Distance.
1t has been suggested that she could
have been slain some distance from the
spring; that her slayer. knowing that
the girl was expected to tend the cows
at the spring, had removed the body to
that locality to make 1t appear that
the crime had been committed there.
Lou Hall yesterday asked his counsel
to state for him that he harbored no
Ill will against Peter Roy because OF
some words that had passed between
them some time prior to the killing OF
Roy's daughter.
Hall referred to a series OF Incl
dents which started in May last At
that time he was living in one of
Roy's houses. The house was sold
and Roy informed Hall that he would
have to move out He offered him,
however, another house for which he
was agent. and Hall accepted.
Rental on the house was 81 a
month. This also included the use of
the garden. Hall paid 81 in advance
rental for two months. Some time

cows strayed into his garden and ate

SUGAR RESTRICTION
OFF IN JANUARY
Allotment Of Four Pounds Per
Month May Be Ordered
December /.

Sugar restrictions probably will be
lifted after next January, according
to officials Of the food administration.
Large supplies of the commodity
will then be available in Java and the
free flow of Cuban sugar during that
month will put in it's appearance. By
February, it was indicated, central
Europe and France and Italy should
be in a position to resume producing
sugar.
Coincident with the indication that
the ban on sugar restrictions woulo
be lifted after January was an an
nouncement from the administration
that there is possibility that the
sugar allotment Of the whole country
will be increased from three pounds a
person monthly to four pounds on De-
cember 1.
Announcement was made yesterday
by the federal food board in New York
that the sugar allotment for that To-
cality would be increased December
l. The food administration today said
that the announcement was made
without authority and was probably
based on the result of survey of
sugar stocks on hand.
