Another witness came into the Hall
Mills murder tangle yesterday. Almost
as spectacular as the sudden entrance
of Mrs. Jane Gibson in her moccasin
slippers and astride her gray mule
was the appearance upon the crowded
stage where the New Brunswick
drama is being played Of the Rev.
Paul r. B. Hamborszky, for ten years
pastor of the Hungarian Reformed
Church in New Brunswick, who claims
TO have had the confidence of DR.. Hall,
and who made his entrance via the
Broadway detective agency of julius
James Kron.
In an affidavit, which was prepared
In the Kron agency's office, the Rev
Mr.. Hamborszky said he had been told
BY the dead rector of the relations be-
tween himself and Mrs. Mills; that DIR.
Hail had told him that he had quar-
relied with his wife because of this in
timacy and that DIR. Hall had expressed
fears of bodily violence because of
these difficulties.

"I am in constant fear" the Rev.
Mr. Hamborszky's affidavit quotes DR..
Hall as having said to him last June.

Eoiected himself, through his friend
nd adviser, Detective Julius Kron,
hto the center of the stage. He is
veil known among the large Hungarian
populations Of the variousS industrial
towns of New Jersey, where his career,
by the church records, has been some
what vivid. The little. clergyman did
not explain in detail his reasons for
quitting New Brunswick, where he had
worked for ten years, in April last;
but the Rev. A. G. Schodle, who is
dean of the Eastern Convocation Of
the Hungarian Reformed Church, told
reporters in New Brunswick yesterday
that the Rev. Paul F. B. Hamborszky
had been deposed by the convocation
on charges of grave departures from
the required standards OF discipline
in that church.
