SOMERVILLE, Nov. 81 tBy The
Associated Press)-As the Somerset
county grand jury-twenty-one men
and three women, prepared today
for its second assault upon the
mass of evidence surrounding the
IIall-Mills murders, the name of a
new found witness appeared among
the stars" upon whom the prose-
cution pinned its hope for indict-
ment.
The name was that of George
Sipel, a dealer in pigs, whose move
ments on the fateful night of Sep
TENDER IA, have caused detectives
to bring him forward as the most
likely corroborator of the hitherto
unsupported tale CT Mrs. Jane Glib
son, the pig woman"
Evidence upon which the grand
jury may designate the slayers of
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, his
choir singer, remains to be adduced
Yesterdays session of the jury, it's
first, was looked upon the prosecu-
ton as only the setting of the stage
upon which the principal witnesses
are about to be called.
In this list of principals the name
of Mrs. Gibson, the pig woman"
now appears most prominent. Next
comes the name of Sipel. the pig
man." whose overnight rise to i'm
portance makes him n of the mys
teries of the case.
After them trail a long list Of wit
nesses, twelve of whom appeared be-
fore the grand jury yesterday and
at least ten are scheduled to tes-
tify today. These include two New
Brunswick policemen, a neighbor or
two OF the principals IL the tragedy,
numerous citizens and members of
Rev. Mr.. Halls church, st. John the
Evangelist of the Protestant Epis-
copalian faith, detectives, troopers,
county officials and possibly newspa-
permen.
Special Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott
has not announced whether Mrs,
Hail, widow of the rector. will be
permitted to testify before the jury
as she had requested. Nor would
he reveal his plans for obtaining
record of the testimony of Nellie Lee
Russell, the negress, who has

POLICE HEADS
ASK FOR RAISE

The chief, captain OF detectives,
lieutenants, lieutenant detectives and
DETECTIVES of the local police force,
comprising the superior officers
last night had a communication be-
fore the aldermen requesting an in
crease in pay of $500 per year. These
officers were not included in the ref
erendum question put before the vot-
ers of the city at election, to deter
mine popular sentiment on the ques-
ton of raising the pay of the pa
trolmen, which included the traffic
officers, mounted and motorcycle
men and police woman. The election
result showed that a majority of
the voters favored the increase. This
increase would make the salaries of
some of the men higher than those
now being received by their super
iors. AS a result the superior officers
have petitioned for an increase.
The patrolmen also had a letter
before the board last night request
ing the aldermen to pass an ordi-
nance giving them the increase vot-
ed on by the residents of the city.
Both communications were referred
to the police committee.
The name of the Eagle Hose and
company was changed TO
Eagle Engine Company No. 4 last
night by the Aldermen and the num-
Der of members of that company
was increased from twenty to thirty.
The Board of Health had q COM
munication before the Aldermen,
pointing out the need of extensive
repairs to the Isolation hospital,
The roof leaks badly, the letter
stated, and other repairs are neces-
sary. An opinion by City Attorney
Leo Goldberger accompanied the
letter, pointing out that the building
Is under the supervision of the Pub
lie Grounds and Building Commit
tee of the Aldermen, and therefore
that body and not the health board
must care for the upkeep of the
building. The matter was referred
to the Building Committee.
Following the receipt of COM
plants against two old buildings,
one the Stumpf building in Gordon
street. and the other the Cronan
house, at 254 Smith street, both OF
which were said to be fire hazards,
menace to health and dangerous to
to the public, were condemned and
the Building Committee authorized
to have them removed.

In the wee hours of Sunday morning fif-
teen enthusiastic New York anglers climbed
aboard Henry's big automobile at Fifty
ninth street and Second avenue and wound
their way through Long Island City and
on to the Merrick road. They had fine,
uninterrupted ride in the cool of the morn
ing to Babylon, where the fifteen passen-
gers went aboard Capt. Howel's fishing
boat Madge and headed out to the fluke
grounds. Henry writes that the fluke were
running so pientifully that every one bagged
more than they could comfortably navigate
under and that the average catch per per-
son was abofe twenty.
Capt Howell drifted US over some very
fertile fluke grounds and took n special
interest In getting fish for the jolly crowd.
And the fish were larger than they have
been running as we'll as being more plenti-
full. After fishing in Eire Island Inlet and
along Oak Island Beach to our hearts con-
tent the boat was headed for the dock at
Babylon and we arrived In good time 20

present no less than fifteen voted II a
