seems possible. 1t is known that the
chief difficulty Prosecutors Stricken
and Beekman have encountered is IN
getting people to talk.
1t Is known that there were wo-
men in the nelghborhood of the
Phillips farm on the night of the
murder who will not come forward
and say as much because the place
had an unsavory reputation. 1t Is
known, too. that Schneider and
Hayes were arrested and then re-
leased, saw some people in that
neighborhood during their nocturnal
rambles, recognized some of those
they saw and told the authorities.
II is possible, It appears. that
there may have been still another
woman in the life OF the Rev. Ed
ward Hall. The proof IS not clear,
though It may be within twenty-four
hours. 1t lies in a telegram.
Heretofore considered a case in
which a quadrangle rather than the
customary triangle figured. It ap-
pears that the murder mystery re-
sulting from the deaths OF the Rev.
Edward w. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
Mills may, In fact. be case in
which two trlangles should be used.
1t seems there was another man in
Mrs. Mills's life and that there may
have been more than one woman be-
sides Mrs. Hall in the life OF the
rector.
Prosecutor Azariah Reekman OF
Somerset county. is more than usu-
ally Interested in this one paragraph
appearing in the reproduction of a
letter Hall wrote to Mrs Mills from
his summer camp in Maine:
To-day I sent you letter that
means much to me. I mean the one
In which I told you I had gotten a
telegram from a private detective I
told you about-to the effect ne had
proof that settles - definitely
and for all time-hs will try TO
bother you again"
In the reproduction a fictitious
name was used. It is a name that
Is not known here, nor to Mr.. Beck
man. In the original, It is under
stood. the name appearing Is much
better known, though not at all com
mon. For obvious reasons the name
may not be used as yet. but IT may
be said It has already figured in the
case.
In this sentence. which has OF
course been withheld from the prose-
cutor until now. there lies the hint
of some kind OF blackman. In the
name too lies clew that might have
been OF great help to the authorities
had It been given 10 them sooner.

communicated TO them in confidence. |
That is the clue to the "other man, !
No. g." in the life OF Mrs. Mills. As
to the other woman in the case of |
Hall the proof is not so clear, though !
It may be within twenty-four hours !
II lies In a telegram that Hall sent |
from this city TO New York early in /
August just before he went away for
his vacation. The telegram was
addressed TO woman in New York |
and read:

this evening"
