rest. The report had spread through
out the town. however, and all through
the evening curious persons clustered
about the steps of the courthouse.
The Theory Discredited
Mrs. Mills's throat had been slashed
and that three bullets had been pumped
into her brain, while DR.. Hall was shot
only once, there was some slight basis
for theory that the pair had been
killed by a gang Of toughs. 1t was
suggested in this connection that DR..
Hall had been killed while trying to
save his companion from attack.
This theory disregarded the fact that
love notes, written by the woman to
the minister, and some that had been
written to her were found scattered
over the limbs ofsthe murdered couple.
That was not done by robbers, in the
opinion Of all the Investigators. 1t was
the act of jealous person.
There was more than one person in
John the Evangelist who disliked Mrs.
Mills. Many Of them felt that she
usurped authority and presumed on
DR.. Halls friendship. 1t is even pos
sible that a rejected admirer of the
woman sits in the pews of the little
church.
Ralph Gorsline, one of the vestry-
men, who was questioned yesterday by
the officials, said to-day that Mrs. Mills
had sought to lure him into romance
before she became infatuated with DR..
Hall.
Gorsline is married and his ten-year-
old daughter sat on his lap as he
talked.
"Mrs. Mills and often sat next to
each other when we sang in the choir.
Sometimes when we had finished sing
ing she would nudge me and whisper
that had the grandest voice she had
ever heard. Trying to 'vamp' me.
sOnce she said to me, you are my
ideal man, Ralph. am not happy with
my husband I'm no saint, but l did
not like that sort of an approach.
Soon afterwards she set her cap for
DR.. Hall and apparently captured him."

charlotte was one Of the daughters
OF Admiral Sir Peter Warren, through
whose bold efforts and England's ships
the capture of Louisburg was effected
in 1746. The new country charmed him.
and he and his family of three daugh-
ters, after they had made the acquaint-
ance OF the De Lanceys, made their
home in the town of New York. The
city government, to show it's apprecia-
ton of his brilliant naval record
granted Admiral Warren 400 acres of
land, what is now Greenwich Village.
On this land, far from his city home
at No. Broadway, Sir Peter built his
out-of-town house, and a few hundred
d
of stone for Charlotte and her hus-
band, whom she had captivated in Eng
land, Willoughby, Earl of Abingdon.
ALI that remains of Sir Peters fam
lily are their names, and even two of
these are quite forgotten: Lady Fitz-
roy, with path back of Eighth Avenue
named for her, and Lady Skinner,
which Christopher Street robbed of her
right to immortality by changing it's
name from Skinner Road Best known
is Charlotte's name, for Abingdon
Square is the place where Bleecker and
Hudson streets cross each other.
AT the time of Lord Abingdon's visit
New York was still part of the col
onies, and it was not until more than
a century later that the Declaration of
Independence was signed.
Gradually, after tho Abingdons re-
turned to England, Greenwich Village
took on the aspect Of a little city,

of their experience. Both denied this.
Late that Sunday night Schneider was
released, but the Behmer girl was
held all night as an incorrigible minor
on a complaint that her father was
persuaded to make against her. He
dropped the charge the following day
and the girl was released. ST
At the time Schneider declared that
both of them were so frightened by
their find that they could not have
been persuaded to approach the bodies.
They agreed that they had gone to the
farm that morning to hunt mushrooms.
1t was shortly after 2 o'clock this
afternoon when detectives in an auto
mobile picked up Leon Kaufman as
he was talking with some boy COM
panions near his home. He was brought
to the courthouse. Then Hayes and
Schneider were brought in. After that
detectives and state troopers went to
the homes of these two and searched
for some object, the precise character
of which they would not reveal.
Throughout the afternoon the three
youths were questioned. About r
o'clock tonight Pearl Behmer was
brought to the courthouse by state
trooper. Assistant Prosecutor Toolan,
who seemed to be in charge of the in

that he hoped to learn something Of

Sought "Crusoe' AS Caretaker
The islands attained prominence
some time ago when, following the
death Of caretaker who had been
there for years, Mr. Hatch advertised
for a modern Robinson Crusoe to take
his place, under conditions making him
practically n hermit for the summer.
The only work required was protection
OF the gulls and their nests. Mr..
Hatch was literally swamped by appli-
cations. The last "Crusoe" thus OBJ
tanned was Harvard graduate.
He found more adventure than his
predecessors, for recently band of
bootleggers operating in the lake at
tempted to establish a secret station
on one Of the islands, going there in
o motorboat and transferring their
Illicit hootch to the mainland at
night, where fashionably gowned
woman received the cargo in Packard
Limousine and drove it Manhattanward
The gulls broke up the game by setting
up a clamor on their discovery Of the
motQrboat, the caretaker thereupon
telephoning for Lake Champlain's dry
navy.
1T is possible that the United States
Army may establish an aviation camp
one one of tho islands for the study of
the fight Of the gulls and It's possible
relation to glider" aeronautics. Some
OF the birds are more than 100 years
ola and have wing spread Of seven
islands from the Arctic regions each
year, bringing a new addition to the
flock only when an old member dies.

Edward Hatch Jr. Turns Over Four Brothers Group

utilized by the society as station for

giant Arctic gulls, which for centuries
nave used the islands as summer re-
s, sIrt, and which are to be found no.
where else in the United States.
1t was to protect the Islands aa a
refuge for the gulls, in fact, that led
MT. Hatch to. turn them over to the
geological Society. For more than
thirty years he has maintained them
as such, and many and wondrous are
the narratives he can tell concerninp
the gulls and their social and economic
lie, gained by him through personal
observation.
