DR.. HaHShOWS Passion
of SecretZOVe i'm Notes

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 90
The letters Charlotte Mills says she
found in a sewing bag after her
mothers murder showed the inti-
mate friendship between the Rev.
Edward w. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
Mills; that they had private poet
Office" in New Brunswick for the
exchange of love notes, aud a tryst-
ing place in the vicinity OF where
the bodies were found Sept. 16.
A new letter made public shows
that the rector's wife and Mrs.
Mills had been on such bad terms
that Mr.. Hall thought it necessary
ed his wife's words as foolish and
uncalled for" 1t has been inti-
mated that bad feelings had ex-
listed between the two women, and
it is now clear the break was more
serious than believed.
Ir this letter the rector begins:
sDear, dear. dear wonder heart of
mine" and goes on. Darling, 1 am
talking to you constantly, asleep
and awake" He tells how their
love seems the most precious, won
derful work of art and how the
beauty, wonder, peace, calm,
strength and passion of 1t grows
every moment. 'It seems as
though every moment of separa-
ton just binds US more strongly
together, and live in dreams IF
what we have done and what we
win do when we have the oppcr-
tunity."
He reports how successful their
ruse of corresponding secretly is, ex-
planning that he loved her feeling
that their MESA ges are sacred and
should be seen by no one else. He
says that at the first opportunity they
will have a day in New York and
asks, Later, could we arrange
trip ?"
Then comes this startling passage:
About Mrs. Hall-she hasn't said
a word about you and I don't think
she has changed toward you. But
her remarks at Point Pleasant We're
foolish and entirely uncalled for.
don't blame you for being hurt-you

show her your letter to me-but you
were wise to send II to Islesford-
for she might have commented If
no letter came from you. But she
didn't ask to see 1t - Just said:

As for writing to her-do just as
seems best to you--it win be all

EDWARDS NOT TO ACT
IN BIG MURDER PROBE

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 20.-Gover-
nor Edwards today told newspaper
men he had not taken, any action
with respect to the Hall-Mills muir
der investigation and that he did not
contemplate taking any.
He reiterated that he had no au-
thority to place investigation in the
hands of Attorney General McCran
as he has been requested to do, stat
ing that designation of new inves-
tigator would have to be made by
supreme court Justice If by anyone.
He made a similar reply to query
as to whether he intended to assign
Ellis Parker. famous Burlington
county detective, to the case.
81 don't think the people OF New
Jersey are looking to me to solve
this mystery or that they are holding
me responsible" the governor said.
ST have every confidence in the law
officers working on the case / know
they will do their duty. 1t is not
for me to say how this investigation
should be carried on"
The governor said he had not
answered a letter from Timothy N.
Pfeiffer, counsel for Mrs. Hall. ask
ing him to intervene in the case.
"And what is more" he added. II
do not intend to reply to it. The
letter was published in the newspap-
ers before I received it: therefore
shall not answer it. I don't answer

Hall PrOberS on Wrong
Track, SIeuth Says

TOMS RIVER, Oct. 20.-"They'rs
wrong-all wrong!
They're following blind trails IL
the Hall-Mills murder mystery.
when this church crime is solved
I believe there will be solution up

Detective Ellis Parker is speak
ing.
The famous Quaker detective, who
has solved and secured convictions
in 80 out of 80 murder cases-with
three cases still untried-gave NEA
Service his views on the New Bruins
wick mystery in which church rec
tor and choir singer were slain more
than five weeks ago.
Parker, fifty-one years old and
twenty-eight years a detective, has
had many appeals to enter the Hall
Mills case. Even though the end has
come to his latest successful case, in
which Mrs. Ivy Giberson was con-
victed of the murder of her husband
Parker has been loathe to discuss
the famous church mystery.
II don't like to talk about case
on which others are working" he
said. "And want it understood that
I will only go to work on 1t by order
of my superior officers-and with the
full consent of all those now en-
gagged on the case.
Should I be assigned to the case,
would follow my usual procedure.

these statements would probably
show discrepancies. They always do.
Ironing out these discrepancies
would probably furnish a lead.
Motives are no safe guide in a
murder case. How can we know
what another person is thinking? A
motive for murder may be born in
an instant.
''"Thinly veiled insinuations have
been made against Mrs. Hall.
"But-isn't it a natural thing for
a God-fearing woman whose hus-
band, a minister of the gospel, has
mysteriously disappeared, to hire a
lawyer to conduct an investigation?
isn't it natural that such wo-
man would be unwilling to expose
her religious faith to the ever-ready
sneers of hypocrites who gloat over
the downfall of leader in any
church?
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-10-20

"Could not the murder have been
the product of the twisted brain of
some fanatic who considered himself
appointed by Heaven to avenge the
insult he fancied a minister of the
gospel had offered to his God?

ton and coordination of all the

but they start with a theory and
then make the facts prove the
theory. The detective in real life
must take his facts as he finds them,
and build them into a theory that
will stand the test of court"
Parker is short and bulky, with
faded blue eyes, bald head and q
short choppy mustache, and an in
veterate pipe smoker. AS a Quaker
he testifles on the witness stand by
affirming instead of by oath.
Probably the most difficult case he
has solved was the murder of Ser
geant Michael Gregor at Camp DIX.
When the skeleton, identified by
keys lying nearby. was found Dec. 3.
1921. Parker was called in and he
picked the murderer out of IT'S men
at Camp Dix on the slender fact that
only this man could clearly recall
the events of Sept. 8, the day Gregor
disappeared. 1t took months to COM
plete the inquiry, but the man Par
ker picked out eventually confessed.

Prosecutor Beekman's absence
from New Brunswick during the
past two days is regarded as signi-
ficant that he has been awaiting the
result of the Somerset county grand
juryis deliberation on the matter. 1t
is unusual for names to be placed
before the grand jury and an indfct-
ment asked prior to any arrests be-
ing made, but this procedure is pos
sible and owing to Prosecutor Beck
mans conservative method of doing
things, it seems likely that this Is
what he has done. Rather than
make further arrests and then have
che grand jury fail to indict, it is
pointed, out, it is altogether likely
and possible that Beekman has SUBJ
mitted his evidence to the grand
jury with the request for an indict-
ment. If no true bills were found,
no arrests would be made but if
the indictments were returned then
the arrests would take place at once
as the defendants would be called
upon to plea.
Prosecutor Joseph E. Stricken and
the members OF his staff were n
their offices early this morning pre-
pared to take what is believed to be
the final step in solving the Hall
Mills murder mystery. when the
word to act is received from Prose-
cutor Beekman, of Somerset county.
Appearances today were that the
authorities have secured sufficient
evidence to cause the arrest of at
least two persons one a woman. and
await only the arrival OF she Som
erset county prosecutor before this
step is taken.
No one has been questioned in the
prosecutors Office since the MEM
bers Of the Hall family were brought
there earlier in the week and this
is taken to indicate that the Mid
dlesex officials have secured what
in their minds is considered suffi-
cient evidence to cause the arrests.
Arrests were expected yesterday,
the members of the prosecutor tan
being in the Office the entire day
waiting only the arrival of. or word
from the Som erset county prosecutor
before they acted. Prosecutor Beck
man did not come to New Bruns-
wick yesterday and today the Mid
dlesex county prosecutors staff are
maintaining the same rigid inactiv-
ity, waiting only for the word ''go."
1t was said this morning one more
person would be questioned today in
order to pick up some loose ends in
the net which is gradually being
drawn about certain persons. This
witness is Barbara Tough, maid IN
the Hall home, who has already Civ

able information.
The attitude of the Middlesex au-
thorities today would indicate that
the case. in their opinion, is near So
luton. although they were reticent
in making any comment at this time.

that was the cause of considerable
comment, was the number of wom-

LONDON, Oct. 20.-(By The AS

appeared to be making rapid prog

This was evidenced by the an
nouncement that Marquis Curzon

influence and experienced cabinet
ministers. have agreed to serve un-

Mr.. Bonar Law cannot officially
announce the formation Of his min

unionfst party to succeed Austin
but it is generally con-
ceded that this election will be only
a formality.
Although the split in the Unionist
ranks has deprived him of such cab

Lord Birkenhead, the Earl of Bal

will find plenty of timber among the
younger members of the party who
have shown promise in the political
field and are marked for advance

The premier-designate was busy
seeking out eligibles at an early hour
today. His secretary declared he is
