MOTT READY FOR ACTION
Bv a staU Corrsspcndemt

New Brunswick, N. j., Nov. O.-Afrs.
Frances Stevens fall is preparing her.
self systematically for examination at
the hands Of officials investigating the
murder Of her husband. the Rev. Ed
ward Wheeler Hall. and Mrs. Eleanor
r. Mills, his choir. leader.
The interview Mrs. Hall granted to
newspapermen last Wednesday, with
stenographcrs present to record her an-
swers. apparently was pnrt Of def.
mite plan adopted by her counsel.
Conferences are held almost nightly
in the library Of the Hall home. De.
tectivc di Martini, engaged by Mrs.
Hall. Is always present, and Mr.. Pfcif.
fer is usually there.
Newspaper clippings containing the
latest known details Of the investiga.
tion are spread out on the table. Mem.
bers Of the family report the gossip and
rumors they have gathered during the
day..
A Barrage Of Questions
Using the published reports and the
floating gossip as basis, Di Martini
and Mr.. Pfeiffer shoot question after
question at Mrs. Hall, covering every
newly developed phase Of the mystery.
The unusually quiet, reserved widow Of
the rector Is very animated during these
informal sessions. It was sharp. in
sistcnt questioning Of that nature which
gradually prepared her for the inter.
view ordeal last week, during which she
maintained an attitude Of unruffled
calm, answering queries promptly and
with m air Of perfect candor.
