ney for Charlotte Mills and leading
woman Investigator of the HaIl-MilIs
murder mystery at New Brunswick,
N. j. presents today through the
United Press, her startling theory as
to the perpetrator and the means en-
pIoyed in the double killing.
No investigator In the case has been
more intimately connected than Miss
North, who working with large staff
of trained operatives, is determined to
run down the murderer of the mother
of her client, pitiful child victim of
the tragedy.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Oct. 1S.-
DR.. Edward Wheeler Hall was slain
by accident as he struggled to defend
Mrs Eleanor Mills against the insane
fury of a jealous woman and her con-
| federates.
! The couple whose bodies were found
near Phillips farm on Sept. 18th were
either lured separately from their
homes two nights previous or were
/ kidnapped as they made their way to

dered after the rector was accidentally
shot. This occurred in a vacant build
| ing, not far from where they were
found dead.
This, after thorough investigation
with a trained staff of operatives is
my theory of the murder Everything
we have been able to discover con-
corning the crime, deep probes into
the past lives and relationships of the
principals, sitting of the contradictory
tales told by certain persons intimate
with the slain couple, all point in this
one direction.
Woman Instieator.
The murder was instigated by a
jealous woman My men have abso-
lutely discarded the possibility that
the crime was an accident, and place
little credence in any blackmail the
DRY. Each clue, as we unearth 1t lar
boriously, whole month after the
4 finding of the bodies-a month of
shameful inactivity on the part of the
officials, turns the finger of suspicion
always toward this jealous woman.
We have only scratched the surface
in our search and no name among
those involved in the tangle has been
eliminated We will proceed regard
less of what the authorities may do
until the murder of, Charlotte Mills S
mother is brought to justice.
Poor Charlotte, pitiful little child
victim of the grim tragedy, her girlish
dreams destroyed, her future blank
toward which she dances in a mao
whirl of excitement She cannot rest
nor relax. She has suddenly become
mature.
Child is Aged
Robbed of the loving mother who
was more of a sister" to her, Char
lotte has aged almost over night. NC
one can take her mothers place in hel
4 life, but Charlotte Mills can be aveng
ed. 1t may be well to give the theory
of the murders, which, after thor
ough search into the lives of the prln
ciples, as Charlotte has helped ms
know them, l have evolved. Later,
will show how each fresh scrap O
evidence which our men dug up, fit
in like a bit of picture puzzle, unit
the portrait is nearly complete.
; The murders. we cannot name-ye
A few more links in our chain and We
hope to present the prosecutor witt
the facts.
Thursday night the night of th'
crime. was not their night" DR.. Hal
; and Mrs. Mills were accustomed Il

This, to my mind, establishes the fac
that their meeting on the night o
the murder was unexpected by either
