NEW BRUNSWICK, N, j., Oct.
20.-Students of psychology have
discovered a new problem in the Hall
Mills murder case,
What Qurk Of the criminally in
famed mind, they ask, dictated The
careful laying cut of the bodies Of
.hese two victins--in the form Of a
cross?
A double cross The man and Wo-
man lay side By side, hats covering
their faces, he with has left arm and
she with her right thrown out at
right angles; his right arm and her
left intertwined, SO that their bands
iastcd against each Others sides. y
Why in The form Of cross? Had
it any connection with the fact that
Rev Hall was 4 church rector and
Mrs. Mills a choir singer?
The pEy2!Jolo&ists point signifi-
caatIy to the fact that a cross, while
a Christian symbol, was once an in
st!ument OF torture.
Detectives have pointed out the
certainty that the bodies were ar
ranged carefully--that the victims
could not have fallen in these posi-
tons when the killers bullets struck
them.
Another point of discussion con-
Germs the closing Of the rector's eyes,
while the woman's eyes remained
open. Experts believe somebody Of
technical knowledge must have done
this unusual thing.
What, ask the psychologists, in
famed some human mind to these
uniquely gruesome deeds-these and
the slashing Of Mrs. Mill's throat?

Although no direct immediate eff

cabinet crisis Is ful! Of possible COM
piications for al ether governments,
including the United States, however,
and a clear understanding of what is
ahead, it was said, depended very
largely on the progress made by Pre-
mier-designate Bonar Law in his at
tempt to form a new cabinet.
The immediate result Of the crisis
already felt in Washington is the
postponement of the coming to this
country Of the British debt commits
sion, headed by Sir Robert Horne,
chancellor of the eXchequer, in the
Lloyd George government. Sir Rob-
ert was to have sailed for the United
States a week ago, accompanied by
Montague Norman, director of the
Bank of England, but the cabinet
crisis was then impending and de-
parture was delayed on that ac-
count.
Andrew Bonar Law is a Canadian
by birth and is distinguished as be-
ing the "man who refused kings
offer to make him a premier"
He is q business man and carries
the tactics of business into his po-
litical career He was one of Lloyd
Georges five members Of the war
coalition cabinet and OH two occa-
sions was chancellor of the eXche-
quer, the house of commons voting
him budgets of $3,500,000,000 and
$3.50, 100000.
Mr.. Bonar Law was always noted
for his firm stand on any question he
took up. He was determined op-
ponent of the Irish Republican move
ment and crossed swords with Lloyd
George on the latter's proposal to re-
sumo trade relations with Soviet Rus
sia. Of him, former Premier AS
quith said: Il have for many years
been engaged in giving and taking
, blows from Mr.. Bonar Law but they
never left any rancor behind them" p"
He was first elected to parliament
from the Black Friars division of
Glasgow as Unionist He was born
in New Brunswick, Canada, Septem-
Der lG, 1853.
