HALL-M|LLS MURDER
CASE TO GRAND Jury
BY COMING FRIDAY

New Brunswick, n. j., Nov. IA
definite program which Special
Deputy General Mott has evolved for
the presentation before the grand
jury of the evidence concerning the
murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt
Mills was made known through an
authoritative source today. The case
will be presented either Thursday or
Friday, it was said. More than two
dozen witnesses will be called. By
next Tuesday. Mr.. Mott expects to
have laid the evidence before the in
vestigating body. Indictments will
be asked for on Wednesday In that
event.
Three indictments will be asked
for, it is now declared. One will be
sought against a woman, the others
against two men, according to in
formation believed highly authentic,
and all will be New Brunswick resi-
dents.
The authorities were inclined to-
day to place little credence in the
story of Florence North, counsel for
Charlotte Mills, daughter of the
slain woman, who advances the
theory that hired assassins commit
ted the murders. They believed that
some Of the witnesses, recalcitrant
so far. will contribute greater light
upon the case when before the grand
jury, and to this end nearly every
one who has been mentioned in the
case, will be called to appear, in adj
dition to several new witnesses.
The vestrymen of DR.. Halls

the choir singer. and Mrs. Jane Glib

of taxation-there is always some
thing or some right yet remaining to
be taxed. The real task is to live
within the income of the State. Many
o. our small towns are staggering
under a tremendously heavy rate of
taXation-as high as six mills in
some cases. They have all they can
stand up under. I would like to see

taxes being imposed, and / am going
