The New York herald., 1922-10-14
Schneider quoted Again.

In stating the case to Schneider Judge
DAILY read still another of the many
statements OF Schneider as to the events
on the night OF the murder. One part
of this statement differed from
Schneider's other statement.
1t is for making this statement, which
Totten alleges is corrupt and false tes-
timony, using the language of the lav
that Schneider is held for perjury.
The preliminary statement in the per-
Jury complaint recites that the death of
Hall and Mrs. Mills Is alleged to have
occurred in the county of Somerset and
In tho county of Middlesex." showing
that the location of the crime has not
been determined yet. The time in this
document is set as ION the 14th day of
September which is in contradiction
to the statement in the papers on "hich
Hayes was committed, which gave sep
tember 10 as the date, the presumption
then being that the killing took place
after midnight.
The complaint sworn to by David al
Ieging that Schneider had impaired the
morals OF Pearl BANNER gives the date
of the alleged attack as March q. 1921
It Is presumed the detectives got this
date from Pearl. who, with her father,
Is still confined in the Middlesex county
JAIL On this charge Schneider, through
Sedan, pleaded not guilty. On the per-
Jury charge examination was waived.
Both offenses are alleged to have been
committed In Middlesex county. so tho
Grand Jury here will get the cases.
Schneider in court appeared quite
cheerful.
Hayes is still enjoying the role of
hero. and tomorrow the heralded tag
day is to be held. Twenty thousand tags
have been prepared and the money raised
will go to pay the lawyers and to set UP
a reserve against the possibility OF some
diligent prosecutor putting Hayes In jail
again. If there Is balance 1t VIII De
given to charity.
The tag day" was launched tonight
at tho Landing Athletic Club with the
pinning of tag on Mayor John J. Mon
rlson OF New Brunswick by one OF tfR
prettiest girls in the city. Young Hayes
was unable to be present and sent MS
regrets In a message thanking the towns
people FOR their devotion to him and his
parents in their hour of trouble. The
Mavor commended the attitude OF the
c,,izens for their devotion to the boy
and for their demand that justice be
done.
Mrs. Hall Not to BE Annoyed
II apnears Improbable now that Mrs
Hall will be called to the Prosecutor $
office again I'm the near future. In fact
her lawyer would probably feel justified
in advising her not to respond. Sne "
III her friend, Miss Sallie Peters said
tonight. but Is not confined to bed. lr
Mrs Hall is not called 1t is problemati-
cal which way the Prosecutors VIII nexs
turn.
The knife clew came to naught to-day
when an analysis ot the stains on the
potato knife found by little lad near
where the bodies lay showed no blood.
The strange fact that Mrs. Edna NJ.
Schneider, wife of Hayes's accuser. had
a key that fitted the Phillips farmhouse,
Is being looked into. although the woman.
who lives at South River. contended IT
wae the key Of her own home.
Mrs. Schneider In long statement to-
day said that she had never told Char
lotte Mills she had information OF value
regarding the crime, asserting that It
was a week after the tragedy. and not
the day the bodies we're found. that she
visited the place with Pearl Bahmer,
who had replaced her In the affections
of Schneider.
Tonight a vestryman OF the church
OF st. John the Evangelist, and a relative
OF the Stevens family, said that he be-
lieved firmly In the integrity of Hall and
that Il was time for all the investigator
and detectives to start anew and drop
the obvious line OF inquiry based on a
theory of jealousy being responsible for
the crime. He suggested blackmail.
