neither has spoken under oath.
Yesterday It was ascertained that
Mr.. Mott has at his disposal a story
OF a wedding at the Hall home two
nights before Hall was killed. This
story shows Hall eager to keep an
Z appointment OF a private nature, but

reported to have frightened the
bride. who tainted and who was re-
vived by Mrs. Hall. Later Mrs. Hall
Is alleged TO have said, We'll, this
is one night he didn't get out with
that woman"
Timothy N Pfeiffer. counsel for
Mrs. Hall characterized the story as
a fabrication. and insisted that Mr..
and Mrs. Hall never had a quarrel.
/ Nevertheless many statements in the
story that could be checked up have
been corroborated and the records
involved have been studied. The
marriage license, which Hall should
have returned. was sent 70 the office
OF the health authorities unsigned.
Detectives are trying to learn when
Il was mailed. II Il was mailed
before Halls body was found that
fact will be considered OF the great
est significance.
Besides the two maids Mott may
call Peter Tumulty. the Hall chauf-
feur and gardener. who had charge

whether Tumulty had better be call

any member OF the Stevens or Car

The wedding took place on the
Tuesday before the murder. James
Mills said that he was not sure that
HIS wife was out for a little while
that evening. Charlotte Mills says
her mother was out for a short time
and came home in a bad humor.

have made me miss pleasant and
important engagement"

from all that can be learned, that I

before the Grand Jury with her evil I
dence. II indictments are TO be
found they should be forthcoming !
on Tuesday evening, unless there is
A hitch. Very few people in SOM
erville. where the Grand Jury is
meeting. expect indictments.
From all over the country there
have come late letters demanding
the Indictment OF this person or that.
Some of these are obviously letters
from cranks: others appear 70 be
written by sensible persons. Lieut..

letters. Mrs. Hall IS known to have
received hundreds, a Charlotte

Of letters daily dealing with the case.
In all more than GOO letters have
been received. II
