in these days of high power stations.
Speaking for part Of the time on radio
telephony Mr. Sarnof said that the ex-
periments already made have been very
promising. He predicted that In the
near future business man in New York
could be assured of telephone COM
munication with a business man in Eu-
rope. The technical developments of the
art are principally along the lines Of
more economical creation of energy and
of receiving. Speeds have already been

Speaking of the uses of radio al sea

lies In safeguarding life at sea.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
SoMERv1LLE. Nov. 22.-The presenta-
ton of the Hall Mills murder case to
the Grand Jury of Somerset county
by Wilbur A. Mott, Special Deputy
Attorney General, now adjourned un-
til Monday of next week, will result
In shifting responsibility for whatever
the outcome may be from Mr.. Motifs
shoulders to the shoulders of twenty
men and three women composing the
jury.
Mr.. Mott took before the Grand
Jury to-day three witnesses whose
stories. so far as is known, have no
bearing on the crime. This made 1t
evident that Mr.. Mott will put before
the jurors every tale that may pos
..sibly be of value, in conformity with
Mr.. Motifs own statements that his
respons bility ends when he has pre-
sented the case.
In three days forty-one witnesses
have been examined, including thir-
teen to-day. AS luck would have IT
Jimmie Mills was the thirteenth and
last witness of the day.
Adjournment tc Monday means that
the case cannot possibly be concluded
before Tuesday night and may run over
into Wednesday. Then If anything 5
left an adjournment will be taken to
the following Monday and the Grani
Jury inquiry will have been strung ous
three weeks. The possibility that there
may be an indictment or indictments Is
now considered somewhat remote.

New witness Is Called.

One of the so-called new witnesses
to-day told an interesting story that
apparently has TO relation to the mur-
Ger Of Hall and Mrs. Mills. She is Mrs.
Emma Voorhees,. aged 60. the first wit
ness called. She lives two miles beyond
DE Russy's lane on Easton avenue and
therefore miles from the scene of the
tragedy She was in the jury room

Mrs. Voorhees, says that on the night
OF the murder about 10 o'clock, when
she was retiring on the second floor OF
the farmhouse in which she and her
husband live and which is 200
feet from the road, she heard commo-
tion and looking out saw two motor
cars. The front one drew up and the
other stopped right behind 1t. From the
first car people jumped out and ran
back and at the same time those In
the second car alighted. Mrs. Voorhees,
told the jury IL was very dark and she
could not tell haw many persons were
in the cars. nor whether they were
men or women.
When the two groups met. however.
she heard loud and angry voices and
recognized at least one voice as that
of woman. All in the party seemed
t. talk at once. Mrs. Voorhees, said she
heard distinctly only two sentences.
They were What are you doing here?''
and What does this mean?"
Much more talk occurred the witness
continued, and then suddenly two shots

Nine witnesses were called at the
morning session. The first was Mrs
Emma Voorhees,. AS she left her room
Detective George Totten was called In
and spent about five minutes before the
Grand Jury 1t was his second examin-

The third and fourth witnesses were
Mrs A. c. Fraley and her daughter
Catherine. The Fraleys live in the
farmhouse that directly overlooks the
spot at which the bodies were found,
and is not more than a hundred YARDS
from the noted crabapple tree. Mrs
Fraley told the Grand Jury that she
and other members of her family had
heard pistol shots on the night OF

them distinctly, as all the windows IN
their home were opened because OF the
warm evening.
