This was the initial statement
given newspapermen here at noon
today by Special Deputy Attornev
General Wilbur A. Mott, In charge OF
the Hall-Mills murder Investigation
following a conference with Prosecu-
tor Joseph E. Stricken. Mr.. Mott
would not make any prediction as o
when the arrest could be expected.
although he said: TN a case OF
this kind. you can't tell what will
happen in fifteen minutes.
Speaking about the possibility Of
an arrest but his desire to await
completion of present investigations
the special deputy attorney general
explained: "This is in Keeping with
my policy while prosecutor of Essex
county of preparing my case first
and being ready to go to trial short
ly after an Indictment is found.
While may be suspicious of cer-
tain parties / want to be fair. T
viii not predict when an arrest will
be made"
Questioned with references to the
affidavit made by Mrs. Jane Gibson
and the part that it might play IN
the case, Mr.. Mott admitted that
the statement will be very pert
nent" to the case. He added, how
ever, that other information now N
his possession is just as important.
1t seemed doubtful at noon today
that any witnesses would be called
before the new chief investigator.
Special Prosecutor Mott admitted
that the testimony of an eye witness
would make excellent evidence but
he said he was desirous of corrobor-
ating the statements made by Mrs.
Gibson. He refused to answer In
quiries as to whether the knife used
to cut Mrs. Mills throat or the re-
volver used in the double shooting
were in the possession of the islxes-
tigators.
Asked If Attorney Pfeiffer, repre-
senting Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall.
wife of the slain rector. had talked
with him concerning further aues-
uoning of members of the Hall
Stevens family. Special Prosecutor
Mott replied:
Il have had a gentlemanly talk
with Mr.. Pfeiffer and we did not
talk about the weather.
In reply to question as to
whether precautions had been taken
to prevent those closely connected
with the case from leaving his juris-
diction, Mr.. Mott said: Il don't
think any attempt will be made by
any one to leave this vicinity"
The authorities are not in possess
sion of Rev. Mr.. Halls gold watch,
1t was learned this morning.
Asked if it were not true that the
investigators are 'up a tree'' ana
'stumped' in their efforts to solve
this case. Special Prosecutor Mote
replied emphatically: Decided Iy
no." He refused, however. to dis
close any of the new evidence which
is reported to have been gathered
during the last few days.
Efforts were made by newspaper
men to learn if an arrest could be
expected today or within a day or
two. Mr.. Motifs only reply was that
the arrests will be made at an
opportune time.''
With reference to Mrs. Cibson,s
affidavit, the special prosecutor
said: II know of no reason why
Mrs. Gibson's statement is not en-
tirely creditable. / think we are
making progress"

Story OfEye Witness May
Lead To Two Arrests In
Double Murder Probe

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 26-
Mrs. Jane Gibson. pig raiser. who
claimed to have witnessed the muir
der of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, to-
day told a newspaperman that she
had identified the man who she said
shot the rector as well as identity
ing the woman, who, she asserts was
with the murderer.
On the story II Mrs. Gibson
hinges the possibility of two arrests
it appeared today. She is said 10
have told the authorities that her
ability to recognize the man and
woman seen by her near the Pht-
lips farm on the night of the muir
der was the result OF the bright
headlights of an automobile being
focused upon them when the car
swung to go in de Russy's lane but
straightened it's course again as
soon as the lights revealed the man
and woman.
Mrs. Gibson, it was learned this
morning, has re-enacted for Detec-
tives David and Totten her move
ments on the night of the murder.
This was done shortly after she
made a signed statement telling
what she knew of the murder.
The eyewitness was formerly a
circus rider but several years ago
came to the vicinity of New Bruns-
wick to start farming. She said she
has been constantly troubled by
"squatters" who stole her chickens
and pigs, shot her dogs and recent
ly commenced to steal her corn. She
decided to take matters into her
own hands when her corn began to
disappear and she laid plan of
searching for her stolen corn and
trying to locate the thief.
Mrs. Gibson, who was on the
Phillips farm the night of the double
murder looking for corn thieves. and
claims to have heard the murderer S
name called by the woman, said that
she did not know the identity OF
the slayers at the time, but that she
recently had recognized him in the
prosecutors office in New Brunswick
Mrs. Gibson, who it was learned
yesterday had told authorities OF
the name of the murderer's compan-
ion, said today she had once met
her at a rummage sale, and instantly
had recognized her at the scene OF
the murder on the Phillips farm.
She added 5at she had seen her
since the double killing. and was
sure of her recognition.
Amplifying her previous story of
the actions on the nigh: of the
murder, Mrs. Gibson said she rode
on a mules back from her home
into de Russy's lane. and followed
that red clay road through the
woods half a mile, following. a
wagon without lights, which she
thought was driven by corn thieves.
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1922-10-26

She said she saw the wagon turn
into Easton avenue toward New
Brunswick. The lane intersects
Easton avenue just beyond the
SO called lovers lane, on which the
bodies were found.
Just at the intersection she sa d
she saw an old style automobile
standing in de Russy's laLe. Beside
the machine were a man and wom-
an and she stopped about forty feat
from them. Just then, another ma
chine turned into the lane and the
flood of light from It's headlights
fell upon the two persons beside
the old automobile
The second automobile. she said,
backed out of the lane and sped
away on Easton avenue, but while
the light was thrown on the old ma
chine she recognized the man and
woman. She said they both stepped
out of the light into the shadow
before the second machine turned
around.
Mrs. Gibson said today that the
woman wore grey coat. She said
the man had a heavy dark mus
tache. bushy eyebrows and was of
heavy build.
when 1 went to the prosecutors
Office" the farm woman said today,
IT saw this man and recognized hsSl
as the one who was standing beside
the car"
Mrs. Gibson says that after the
second car had withdrawn the man
and woman crossed de Russy's lane
and went into the field in the gen.
eral direction of the crabapple tree.
Mrs. Hall, the wife of the rector,
who for six weeks has led a Sc
cluded life; Jimmie" Mills. the pes
simistic sexton whose wife was
killed; Charlotte Mills, the girl who
boasts she is "flapper;" Louise
Geist and Barbara Tough, maids in
the Hall home; Henry and William
Stevens, brothers of Mrs. Hall, and
Mrs. Gibson all will be questioned,
as we'll as Ralph Gorsline, 'vestry-
man, and Mrs. Addison T. Clark,
who admits she is the IN" or Min
ME- referred to in letters from Mrs.
Mills to Hall found near the dead
body.
Mrs. Gibson in continuing her
story said that indistinctly she fol-
lowed the man and woman who
crossed the field.

road" she said. 81 lost one of ny
moccasins. 1 dismounted to get it.
When I put it on and climbed back
on my mules back, the couple had

A new feature of the Boys Camp
at the Fort Assiniboine experiment
station, Havre, will be the various
county days. Valley County Day has
been designated as July 10. On this
date County Agent Murray E. Steb-
bins will act as guide and thoroughly

A good representation is desired on

The Great Northern railway has
granted a fare of $5.51 for the round
trip to all who wish to visit the sta
ton. For the people in this county the

REGISTER BEFORE 14TH
FOR THE PRIMARIES

The county clerk calls attention to
the fact that the time to register for

in the state at least one year, in the
county at least six months and in the
precinct at least 80 days, is qualified
to vote providing he or she becomes

an absent voters blank so they will
receive one of the official ballots that
must be counted in with the returns
from their own precinct.
Candidates are now in the field Sc.

any county office by securing a min
imum of two signatures from each pre-
cinct. These nominating petitions must

PLAY AND ENTERTAINMENT
FOR SCHOOL LUNCH BENEFIT

Under the auspices of the Woman's
club a most delightful program will
be given at the high school Thursday
evening, July 6. The proceeds will
go to the hot school lunch fund. The
first number of the program will be
given by the high school orchestra.
Following this Miss Lorene Smith will
give several musical and dramatic
numbers. Miss Smith, who has been
attending Northwestern university the
past year, needs no introduction to a
Glasgow audience and her appearance
will be hailed with delight by her many
friends.
The last part of the program will
consist of a one-act farce, "The Mouse
Trap" by William Dean Howells. The
time Of the play is a few years ago,
before the passage of the suffrage
amendment, and deals with mans sup
posedly contemptuous attitude toward
the weaker and less courageous &?
sex, and woman's resentment aroused
by that attitude. This is an old and
familiar farce, but it always delights.

AN APPRECIATION

Having served as president of the
Valley County Farm Bureau for four
years it would probably be fitting that
| should say a few words as an appre-
citation of the honor I have received
by the organization and also in JUS
tice to those who have assisted me in
the work.
l realize that in attempting to do
this l will fall short of doing or giving
the credit that is due. | can only say
that you must allow for the limitation
of power expressed in handling this,
l wish that l could make you see and
feel as l see and feel the loyalty, de-
votion and sacrifice of Mr.. Stebbins,
county agent, and Miss Erickson, home
