Special Investigator To Be Assigned
To Unravel Murder Of New

OF His Sexton.

Quoted the double murder of Rev. Ed
ward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
Mills on September II, is the belief Of
a majority of those investigating the
case.
From letters placed in the hands Of
the authorities by Charlotte Mills,
motherless victim of the tragedy, and
from the fact that the preacher and
woman answered mysterious tele-
phone calls, the investigators, while
awaiting appointment of single head
to their activities, agreed the murder
was planned in advance.
The attorney general of New Jersey
was expected to name today man to
supersede the present prosecutor.
Detective George Tooten, who has
been on the case from the start, pub
licly expressed the arch-criminal
theory, and said that within a few
days the public would see he was
right.
