Case of Double Murder
Clear.
TO GRAND JURY
viii Prepare An Alright Accusation
To Present To Somerset County
With Next Few Days-Stevens
Comes Up With Alibi.
CBy Enited PresS.n


New Brunswick, n. j., Oct. 2S-
Mrs. Eleanor Mills was hunted down
with flashlights, as she crouched ter
rifed in thick brush near the spot
where the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall
was slain, and was finally found and
killed, according to an eye witness
story of the double murder, which
Prosecutor Mott declares he has cor
roborated.
A dramatic story, IN terrible detail
of how the woman in the gray coat
helped her male accomplice to drag
forth the screaming, begging victim
and stood by while she was shot down
and her throat cut has been added to
Mrs. Jane Gibson's version Of the
killings.
More details of Mrs. Gibson's story
were that the woman in gray return
ed to the body of the rector, ani
knelt, weeping by his side at one o.
clock in the morning.
After hearing Mrs. Gibson's COM
plete story, Mott announced the case
was no longer mystery to him. lie
said he would prepare an alright &C.
cusation to present to the grand jury
of Somerset county within day or
two.
Henry Stevens, brother of Mrs.
Frances II. Hall, the pastors widow,
has come forward with a complete
alibi to prove ne was not near New
Brunswick the night Of the crime
He has given the names and stories
OF eight reliable witnesses who wiz
testify he saws. that he was at La
valette, miles from the scene OF inc
crime, at the time it is believed TO
have been committed.
Mrs. Gibson now says she heard
the woman accuser Of Mrs. M:!!s aAi
DR.. Hall say: -,
How do you explain these notes."
This was taken to refer to the love
letters exchanged by the slain couple
found scattered about their bodies.
Immediately Mrs. Gibson is under
stood to have stated, there came a
shot and DR.. Hall fell. Mrs. Mills
screamed; the woman in gray scream
ed. One of them called out:
ooh, please please, please don't.
The other gasped so terriiedly that
her voice rose to a shrek:
"Oh.--(a mans name)
Then according to the slory, Mrs
Mills ran. While woman and man
faced each other across the faller
body of the rector, the little choir
singer stumbled and tottered off into
the blackness of the night. The slay-
er could not see her but could hear
her and followed.
She was seized, begging piteous!y
and dragged to the tree near whief
the pastors body lay. Her wrists
were lacerated in the struggle. hel
means for mercy went unheeded.
She was held and shot, then her
throat was cut.
The woman in gray, according C
Mrs. Gibson, returned later and knel'
weeping by the body of DR.. Hall: Sn'

MONTANA WHEAT
POOL GROWING FAST

The Montana Wheat Growers Assoc
ciated is gais ing members rapidly
and is spreading like wild fire. One
organizer in the last two months has
put on 500 members in Richland coun-
ty and McCone county is joining in
blocks. In Sheridan and Roosevelt
counties many new members are sign
ing every day and already there is
about ten times as much signed up
for the pool this year as was signed
up last year, and at this time it can
be said that the Montana wheat pool
has actually gone over with whoop
and the wheat poolers will actually
dominate the wheat grown in Montana
this year. By the time that thresh-
ing starts it looks as if rs per cent
of the wheat in the state will be in
the pool. This district expects to
have seven or eight millions bushels
of wheat in the pool.

Matkins and dare not speak or pro-
test when he insists. The PRODUCERS
News, the farmers paper, was pc
trayed because Tyler and Ibsen think
the paper cannot live without the con-
tract which both Of these men had
given their word of honor to give q
this paper if it had the lowest oid
outside of DoIin's whose bid they naa
said again and again they would not
consider under any circumstances, but
which Tyler according to inside m
formation had promised to Doiln
through his friends as early as Sun
day. MAY 81: for the editor of the
Producers News was advised of just
the manner the whole affair was to oe
handled the night before the eommls-
sioners met. Tyler was the man DO
lin counted on, and it is only talr 10
say, that Ibsen was the stumbling
block, the obstacle to be overcome;
and the secret meeting was arranged
by Tyler for the purpose to overcome
and befuddle Ibsen on the lowest
bid point until he was willing to
vote for Dolin, as Tyler did not have
the nerve to vote with Matkins for
Dolin without Ibsen also voted the
same way. A lot of work was done
to line up Jens Ibsen, but he was
lined up at last The Producers News,
however, is not going to die at all
but will be here to expose crooks and
traitors after they are dead, and to
help bury some of them politically
when the time comes, and to protect
the interest of the taxpayers, the
purpose fer which it was founded, ev-
en- though certain crooks and would
be crooks want to see it come to
bad end.
NEXT STEP
Now that the Producers News and
the farmers have been betrayed by
these men with the mark of Judas on
their brows, the next step viii be
to betray them still farther. Just
watch these men, the puppets of Jud
Watkins dismiss attorneys and do
what they can to prevent the bring
ing of embezzlers and bride takers
to justice. That every thing is in the
cards. Two abortive efforts have al
ready been made and miscarried be
cause of the cowardice of this man
Tyler, who while the spirit is strong,
We. the CUTS are lacking. In time he
will no doubt arrive.
