dog incident occurred on September IA
and Timothy n. Pfeiffer. Mrs Hall 1at-
torney, with his chief of detectives,
Felix Demartni, went out to the Rus
sell cabin this afternoon to check up
everything she has said and to ascer-
tain whether she sticks by her original
story after all her interviewing.
Pfeiffer also questioned the neghbors
of Mrs Russell in an effort to ascer-
tain whether Mrs Gibson had trouble
with Mrs Agnes Petrenski, an Italian
woman who lives near by, and with
Mrs. Joe Cassock. a Polish woman who
moved to Paterson not long ago. He is
also checking up Mrs. Russells story
that her neighbors said Mrs. Gibson
was In the habit of shooting her pigs
before she cut their throats. Pfeiffer
and Demartini went to the Russell place
in Mrs. Edwin Stevenss motor car,
driven by Mrs. Edwin Stevens.
Mr.. Mott took instant exception to
the statement that he expected to
force" an indictment. At the same
time he contradicted story that came
from a source close to him that Mrs.
Hall had left her house hurriedly on
the night of the murder and gone to
the house of Henry Carpenter, near by.
He said he had no witness to testify to

Won't Force Indictment.

THE last thing have in mind is to
force the Somerset County Grand Jury
to find an Indictment against anybody"
He added, my duty is performed wheh
lay all available evidence before the
Grand Jury. The responsibility then
is theirs, not mine. forced indict-
ment serves no public interest and an
attempt on my part to force an indict-
ment would be beyond my sworn duty
to the public
After Mott has presented the wit
nesses to the Grand Jury, has estab-
lished the facts of the murder and has
endeavored to show motive by reveal
ing the relations between Hall and Mrs.
Mills he will seek to show that MRS.
Hall knew of this affair and VIII call
Mrs. Elsie Barnhardt Of Paterson. Mrs.
Mills's sister. who will state that her
sister told her Mrs. Hall had complained
to her. Mrs. Mills, you arc making me
very unhappy
Then 1t is probable testimony will be
given relative to the remarks OF Willie
stevens, Mrs Halls brother. made
shortly after the crime and before the
discovery of the bodies. Members OF
the fire company with whom Willie as
sociated will be called as well as
George Kuhn, cigar dealer. to whom
Willie frequently went.
Mr.. Kuhn will be asked about a con-
versation he is said to have had with
| Willie Stevens on the day of the fu-
neral Of Mrs Mills. Willie had often
frequented the place. but had not been
around for about two months before
| the murder.

Give out Wrong Impression.

II has been clear for some days that
officials desired the belief to become
general that a certain resident of New
Brunswick. who lives not far from Mrs.
Hall. was implicated In some way.
Weeks of careful and exhaustive in
vestigation have failed to turn up
shred OF evidence against this man. If
Mott and Mason have found anything
they have certainly kept 1t carefully
hidden
To-day. II developed, Mrs. Gibson's
story. after severe test. was found to
stand up In many important particulars.
Detectives chose night recently when
the light and the moon were about the
same as on September Il. They had an
extended statement by Mrs. Gibson. and
they checked off what she had said.
They found that she could have seen
the things she said she saw
Mrs. Gibson had told that on her re-
turn she had cut across the fields and
tied the mule to a cedar tree at
certain point. opposite the Fraley home.
The tree was found by the detectives.
After she had tied the mule. she said
she stepped backward and, fell over
half buried stump. This stump was
found by the detectives. almost hidden
in the earth.
Proceeding from that point, she said
that she found a path OF a sort and that
also was found by the detectives. Pro-
ceedng down the path. she said she
had come to- a place that appeared to
have been cultivated. The detectives
found this patch. II was the old straw
berry patch of the farm. At the end
OF the path she found road. and SO did
the detectives.
Proceeding exactly as Mrs. Gibson
said she had gone on the night Of the
murder. when she revisited the scene.
the detectives came TO the brush before
the crab apple tree. beneath which the
bodies were found two days later.
There the scene was exactly as II
had been described by Mrs. Gibson. The
brush formed screen for observers.
Before them was an open field. Thirty
feet away was the site of the crab apple
tree Between them and this spot was
a cedar tree, twenty feet from them
aud ten from the crab apple tree The
measurements tailed. IL was while
standing here, Mrs. Gibson said, that
she saw the woman In gray, whom she
had previously identified In De Russy's
lane, bending over the Rev Mr.. Halls
body. moaning and sobbing.
Altogether the test proved that Mrs.
Gibson was either telling the exact
truth or had gone over the ground 80
carefully to get substsntisticn for her
story that she had virtually learned the
topography Of the farm by heart. which
seems higniy improbable.
Mrs. Russell. Mrs. Gibson's colored
neighbor, sticks to her story. notwith-
standing Mrs. Gibsons reiters-ions and
Mrs. Russell remembers that Mrs. Glib
son has calendar on the wall Just as
the latter says. But Mrs. Russell says
she never saw any writing on the cal
endar. though Mrs. Gibson asserts there
is a record there OF the incident OF Mrs.
Russeil's dog.
Mrs Russell repeated to-day that the
