f'A''s AA&f' "Hsb bhN s'hfboh''' ffNi t' the prosecutors office yesterda' morning. The authorities refused L discuss the possibility of an identih cation. and would not even admit tha Mrs. Hall had been confronted in thi way. The most logical inference wa that the woman had failed to identif Mrs. Hall ..
 Inquiry Prompted Evidence.
 After Mrs. Hall and her brothers Henry and William Stevens, had beel questioned at the court house in Ney Brunswick yesterday. Prosecute Beekman said
 We have today examined Mrt Hall and her brothers, William an, Henry.
 These examinations were prompt ed by some new information re ceived which cannot be disclosed. We do not intend the arrest 0 any person today and any other state ment than the above is unauthorized.
 Timothy Newell Pfeiffer,' attorne, for Mrs Hall, said: There will be Il, arrests of any of the people question ed, unless some evidence is manufac tured against the Hall family. I don expect an arrest in twenty-four hour or In any number of hours If an, more evidence has been disclosed fall to see where they have got 1t. I certainly does not appear.
 The only thing that could be con strued as the new information re ferred to by the prosecutor in hi statement, I would think, was an at tempt to identify Mrs. Hall by woman said to have seen her on tn, Phillips farm on the afternoon befor, the murder. Then, of course, W, have the questioning of Henr, stevens about the handkerchiefs il the category of new information also But l don't know what else h, means"
