LOU HALL AGAIN
IS CHIEF SUSPECT

For six days Lou Hall, held on &
charge of having murdered Eva Roy
on August 6, has pictured himself a.
being gradually unwound from the
entangling evidence Of guilt.
The reason was that Ben Rubin,
during that time, had maintained he
committed the crime. resisting all
assaults planned by District detec-
tives to make him repudlate what
they thought was a fanciful story OF
crimlnality.
His attorney had buoyed up Halls
hopes by telling him every day that
at last the real murderer had been
found and that soon he could return
to work as woodcutter in Fairfax
county. He had even planned to go
hunting In a dense wood.
On his ffty-first day in jail he was
suddenly confronted with the re-
pudiation by Ben Rubin OF his six
days OF continued romancinR. Now
Lou Hall, spending his fifty-third day
in Jail, is left the only available sus-
pect upon which the Commonwealth
can fasten the accumulated circum-
stantial evidence.
Hail was not made aware Of the
fact that Rubin was eliminated as q
principal in the crime until Rubin
was taken to the cell OF Hall in the
hope that he might be able to elicit
damaging evidence against the wood
cutter. Hall by his disclaimer Of
responsibility and repeated efforts
on the part OF Rubin and county
authorities failed to break down his
protestation OF innocence.
When the former Camp Humph-
reys soldier was eliminated as a sus-
pect in the case Attorney Oliver.
Halls counsel, said he realized he
had a hard case.
Later, when Willie worster was
indicated by the authorities OF any
connection with the murder, Com
monwealth authorities were OF the
opinion that the evidence against
Hall was all that was left for them
to work on.
But when Rubin confessed" to
the crime. and after six days re-
pudiated his story OF com hitting the
crime, Lou Hall again becomes the
only one around which the Common
wealth can continue to hang its
available evidence.
