Hayes Is Arraigned.
Hayes was arraigned in the morning
on a charge OF murder. The arraign-
ment. an informal affair. consisted
merely of a visit to the jail by Justice
of the Peace Sutphen. who explained to
the young man the nature OF the charge
made against him.
Raymond Schneider who was brought
to the Jail late Monday night, was de-
tanned as a material witness. His attor-
ney, Walter c. Sedan of New Brunswick.
said that he would make an immediate
application for ball.
IT have been told by the prosecution
that bail for young Schneider will not be
opposed" said Mr.. Sedan. ut will prob
ably be set at $4,000 on Thursday, and
expect to have the boy free Thursday

him and prevented from giving him
comfort until after the boy had been
questioned for more than twenty-four

nothing but sob while his father fondled

Gov. Edwards pronouncement that the
mystery must be solved within so few
hours that all previous theories and
clews had TO be thrown to the winds and
these boys arrested.
After l have had a real chance TO
talk with young Schneider I think
will have something worth saying"
Schneider, the accuser of Hayes has,

ate statements and signed them all.
There are wide discrepancies between
the statements. but each contains the
allegation that young Hayes fired the
shots that killed Hall and Mrs. Mills.

unofficial versions that were forthcom-

declared:
The arrest of Hayes has complicated
the case. One of the points that caused
Schneider to haggle with his tormentors

either Mrs. Mills or Hall would stay out
until midnight unless something had
