Couple Hear shots.

Then came Harry McCabe. tender OF
the bridge over the Rartan at Landing
Lane, who told how his wife and he had
retired soon after 10 o'clock. when they
heard the sound Of two women arguing
far away in the direction OF the old
Phillips farm. He fixed the time BY
clock that hung in the stairway and one
he had consulted as he and his wife mao
gone up TO their room
McCabe's story was embellished with
considerable detail and he remained In
the Jury room for more than half an
nour. His wife was not called. although
she has told several clear stories of what
she and her husband heard that night.
Norman Tingle. a clerk for the strong
Hardware Company. was the next wit
ness He and his wife had been Sitting
on the porch OF their home, not far
from the old farm Mrs. Tingle saw
shooting star and commented that
some one was due TO die soon. About
an hour later, some time after 1880. they
both heard a woman's screafp and then
one shot followed by four In rapid
succession. They did not pay much at
tention, believing IL TO be some for

minutes.

as he came out of the jury room he
passed by the negress. The two did
not recognize each other.

Mrs. Russell sat all during the morn

She wore new hat and coat and
eagerly watched each witness called
into the Jury room At the recess she

Two Cars speed Away.

Then. at what Mrs VOORHEES, says was
terrific speed. the car made Off toward
New Brunswick. The second car fol-
lowed. but the driver was able to make
the turn in the road without heading
into the lane.
That K the substance Of Mrs. vocr-
hees's story. She repeated il later TO
reporters.
Mrs. Voorhees, told the reporters that
Mrs Gibson had come TO her place TO
borrow a reaper late in September. and
the two talked OF the MURDER. Mrs. Glib
son. Mrs. Voorhees, is certain, did not
even intimate at that time that she knew
anything about the crime. The Gibson
story OF being at the Phillips farm and
seeing the so-called woman in gray came
much later.
The strange thing about the voorhees,
story, from an unofficial standpoint. Is
that she failed to tell It before. She was
interviewed at length weeks ago In con-
nection with a story that some negroes
In small automobile threw tire In
front OF a car returning TO Bound Brook
from Red Bank The behavior OF the
negroes was considered significant. but
Il was not taken up by the authorities.
Mrs. Voorhees, asserted at that time that
she had not seen or heard anything OF
note on the night OF the murder
The two other witnesses who told
stories apparently not related TO the
crime were Nellie L. Russell and George
Spel. The negress told the same story

Fire Captain Is Witness.

Another witness was Capt Michael
Regain OF the fire company, to whom
Willie stevens, Mrs. Halls brother, is
alleged to have said. before the bodies
were found, that something terrible had
happened Regan, Mrs. Russell, Jimmie
Mills and Charlotte were the only wit
nesses in the afternoon.
Mills was in the jury room an hour
and a quarter. He came out the same
tired. despondent little man he has been
all through the case. He slowly got
into his old overcoat and then took
cigar from the pocket and bit the end
off He started for the door and then
remember something. He took a ra-
per from his pocket and looked at 1t ana
then went up to the sherifts office TO
collect his witness fee, one dollar and
about one dollar and Sixty
cents all together.
But for the first time Mills Tonight
expressed an opinion that the authori-
ties may be on the right track and
have something up their sleeves.
He seemed optimistic and while he
would not divulge anything that he told
the jurors or any Of the questions they
asked him he did say that the manner
in which he was interrogated convinced
him the authorities have progressed
further than he had imagined.
