STORY Of EYE
WITNESS MAY
SOLVE MURDER
Widows Statement, Describ-
ing Struggle and Shooting,
May be Keynote of Solution
MOTT REMAINS SILENT
Deputy Attorney General, in
Charge of Investigation,
Looked for in N. Brunswick

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. z5:-
While certain discrepancies are said !.
to be contained in the story which
Mrs. Jane Gibson, widowed owner OF
farm near the spot where Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills were found
murdered, is reported to have told
the authorities. the general senti-
ment in New Brunswick is that this
statement will prove to be the key
note for the solution of the double
murder mystery.
Mrs. Gibson, who Is said to have
witnessed the killing on the night Of
September II while she was search
corn from her farm, has declined to
admit TO newspapermen that she is
the mysterious eye witness in the
case, the result of whose story TO
the investigators last week was ex-
pected to bring about one or more
arrests.
The story credited to Mrs. Gibson
is that she saw a flash and heard
shot fired, followed by a woman's
screams in which the first name OF a
man, similar to that of one Of the
MN questioned in this case, was
spoken by this woman. Other
screams followed, her story is said
to have been, then a scuffle as
though a struggle was taking place.
This, according to the story, was
followed by three shots and moan
ing. Owing to the darkness Mrs.
Gibson is said, in her statement, TO
have been unable to Identify anyone
connected with the shooting. She IS
said to have told investigators She
left the spot at once following the
murder.
This story of the reported eye
witness will be only one OF the
things which Special Deputy Atto--
ney General Wilbur A. Mott will in
vestigate today when he ar-ives IN
New Brunswick to commence his
investigation into the murder from
this city. He was in Somerville yes
terday and conferred with Prose-
cutor Azariah Beekman, of Some--
set county. This morning he left
Somerville for New Brunswick. but
he had not arrived at noon 1t IS
understood that he might have
stopped at the Phillips farm in or
| Ger to go over the ground where
| the bodies were found.
1t was Mrs. Gibson, it Is UNDER
stood, who was hidden behind a
screen in the prosecutors office in
New Brunswick last week when
Mrs. Hall was taken there for ex-
animation and asked 10 put on the
coat and hat she wore at $3.50 on
the morning of the murder, when
4 she said she went to the Church OF
St. John and to the Mills home In
search of the rector. There is rea-
son to believe that Mrs. Gibson fail
( ed to observe any resemblance be-
tween the rectors widow and the
woman's figure that remained
standing under the crabapple tree
after the shootings.
| James A. Mason, selected by Mr..
Mott as his chief investigator. was
asked about Mrs. Gibson's story and
replied:
Mrs. Gibson? Oh. you mean the
woman who rode the mule?" And
further he was non-communicatise

LLOYD GEORGE.
GIVES ISSUES
Says That England Must Pay
America All Her War
Debts
LEAGUE Is CRIPPLED
Former Prime Minister Not in
Favor of Imposing Too
Much on Germany
LEAGUE IS CRIPPLED

LONDON, Oct. 25 (By The Asso-
ciated Press):-"I will support. any
party and any government that pur
sues a policy of peace, economy and
steady progress, neither revolution
ary nor reactionary, and does it eff
GENTLY" former Prime Minister
Lloyd George told the Coalition
Liberal members of parliament at
meeting today.
In another part of his speech he
made the declarations: "Great Bri-
tain must pay America all her
debts"
Unity in action between Great
Britain and the United States was
urged by Mr.. Lloyd George in his
speech.
I'm for the League of Nations"
he said, but until you get the Unit
ed States and all the great nations
of Europe as well as the small. the
league will be crippled and cannot
purpose.
America and Great Britain must
work together"
On the question of German repair
att ms he said:
1--WE should not attempt to impose
upon Germany any payment which
is beyond her capacity. What is
within her capacity she ought to
pay"
He expressed himself with some
definiteness as regards the question
of Russia.
II am strongly in favor of the re-
newal of pact with Russia he de-
clared.
Dealing with Great Britain's for
eign relations in general, Mr.. Lloyd
George said:
"It is said Great Britain is not
going to extend her responsibilities.
But you must not be afraid of your
responsibilities. The policy of Great
Britain must be peace loving, put
unafraid. If 1 stand alone I will re-
sist any departure from it.
II will never let Great Britain
down. 1 will not stand by for any
man who does. Whatever govern
it any factious opposition. There
must be no nagging criticism: there
must be fair play.
I'VE are told that the new gov
ernment is a government of tran
guilty. In what respect does a pol
icy of tranquility differ from ours?
If tranquility means any change
from the existing condition of things
then it is bad.
I'VE have made peace in Europe,
we have made peace in the near
East. What does the new policy
mean? It's no use using words un-
less they mean something.
II am all for cooperation with the
Allies, but Great Britain has her
own responsibilities. She has her
own mission in the world and she
must stand by It,"
In dealing with home affairs Mr.
Lloyd George declared the first pur-
pose of any government in it's policy
at home must be to do everything to
improve trade.
"Stern economy is essential" he
added, "and ask that the new chan
cellor of the exchecquer shall pur-
sue the policy of the old. McKenna
says things are worse. I know Mr..
McKenna and quite frankly he was
| the man most responsible for the
| liberal division in 1916.
"Mr. McKenna was always de-
nouncing me because from profound
conviction 1 thought it essential that
there should be a change in the d.
rection of the war.
"You must have industrial coop
| Grafton in this country" he said,
continuing to deal with home ques-
tions. Capital and labor must work
| together"

RESUME PROBE OF MURDER in M|DDLESEx
No Fuel Famine Here;
Supply Not Large But
All We'll Taken Care OF

The coal dealers reported that,
although some people had duplicat-
ed their orders in the hope of get
ting more than their allowance. that
in most cases this duplication had
been detected and the supply deliv-
cred limited. No cases of charity in
stitutions coming to coal dealers
seeking coal for persons without it
were reported and the general re.
ports were that the citizens of the
city are being wei, taken care of.
1t is almost impossible, according
tc most dealers, to get people to ac-
cept a delivery of the mi-bi.un7in-
Gus coal, if there is any possibility
of a delivery of anthracite. This
mi-bituminous coal, according to
the dealers, gives more heat than
anthracite with less ashes and burns
with little smoke. 1t is declared to
be a good fuel and may be burned
in any furnace.
The shipment Of coal from the
docks in this city continued with
more than normal speed and each
day and night, long trains Of coal
cars, come laundering in to the local
decks from the mines, to be reship-
ped to New York and the New Eng
land states.

IN MIDDLESEX
Mott Comes to New Bruns-
k--Secrecy Seems to
be Keynote

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. IS (By
The Associated Press) County Off
cials today resumed their investiga-
ton into the Hall-Mills murder
mystery after a day spent in going
over the case with Wilbur A. Mott,
the newly appointed special prose-
cutor. but, as far as could be
learned no new facts were brought
to light.
Mr.. Mott did not go to Somer-
vile. He was expected here some
time today. At the same time, how
ever, it was learned that Mr.. Mott
had declared at yesterdays confer
ence in Somerville that he would
not go to the grand jury. to ask in
dictments yet. Mr.. Mott adopted
the policy used by Mr.. Stricken and
Mr.. Beekman, the two prosecutors
who have been handling the case,
and beyond giving out a short pre-
pared statement which threw 10
light on the mystery, refused 10
talk TO reporters.
His attitude was reflected today
when the prosecutors office in the
court house was locked against ell
visitors. Two state troopers were
dispatched on a mission this morn
ing, but both refused to explain
what they were to do.
1t was stated here that The detec-
tive forces of the two counties
would continue the case, giving all
assistance possible to Mr.. Mott. 1t
also was learned that the detectives
and prosecutor had not decided
this morning on what action 20
take following public disclosures
that Mrs. Jane Gibson, the woman
known as the pig woman" had
been an eye witness to the muir
der of the minister and his choir
singer.
The attorney made an applica-
ton last week for a habeas corpus
writ to bring about the release OF
his client, but the application was
not entertained. 1t is understood
that Pearl recently denied the
charge, having reported that il is all
a lie. Regardless of this judge DAILY
decided to hold him in bail TO await
the action of the grand jury.
Pearl who with Ray Schneider
found the bodies of the murdered
minister and his choir leader, has
been sent to the home for 1ncorrig-
ibIe girls at Arlington. Judge DAILY
believes that her stay at this insri-
tuition will help her to forget her
life in this CITY,

night;

FORMER PRESIDENT WILSON
CAN VOTE IN new JERSEY

TRENTON, Oct. 25-Former
President Wilson will not be dis
franchised in New Jersey because
he no longer lives in this state.
This is the ruling by the Mercer
County Board of Elections, which
considered the former Presidents
application for a ballot under the
absentee voters law.
The board in its decision pointed
out that Mr.. Wilson had made ap-
plication TO vote from his former
residence No. 10 Nassau street
Princeton. and that it was obvious
that even though he was now a
resident of Washington, D. C.. he
wished to vote in this state.
It was announced that his ballot
would be forwarded to him ana
that he would no doubt cast his
vote here as usual. Mrs. wilson
made no application for II ballot
and her voting status was not con-
Sidered

to Get Case Late This A.

DEFENDANTS ON STAND
Actor Shot in Battle for Gun,
Says Cline, Telling OF
Duel for Life
DEFENDANTS ON STAND

HACKENSACK, Oct. 25.-The
case of George Cline, Charles Soul
lion and Alice Thornton, charged
with numbering Jack Bergen, dare
devil of the movies, in Cline's home
in Edgewater, is expected today TO
go to the jury of six men and six
women, which have t9en hearing
the evidence.
Both sides had rested before IL
o'clock, and State Senator Mackay,
defense counsel began summing up.
The last witness called was James
Egan, formerly an artillery ot1cer
under whom Bergen had served. -.
He testified to having instructed
Bergen in target practice and salo
Bergen had become an expert pistol
shot.
Joseph Gurillo, dealer in fire
works. was called in rebuttal by the
prosecution. He testified that ne
did not hear Cline say anything
about fighting duel over Mrs. Cllne Q
nor did he see Scullion go up the
stairs as Scullion was alleged 10
have done to get the ptsto.-
Senator Mackay summing up
said that inasmuch as Cline had not
fred first innocent blood had not
been Shed. ..o5
A matron's honor, he continued
was more important than persna-
BILE property and must be rrotecteo.
The marriage VOWS must not oe
desecrated by vulture.
.If a policeman shot thie1 ne
said to the jury, you would acqull
him in short order. Such a case
has really occurred here and yet
the principals were indicted.
Cline's defense is unusual ana mas
heen defined as combined "excusa-
hla homicide and self-defense." The
defense scored one of It's SIronsse
points when it introduced three
women who had played part IN
Bergen's life, to their regret one
was his deserted wife, another was
Mrs. Cline, wife of one OF the oe,
PENDANTS. and the other the girl
Alice Thornton, who has been re-
garded as indirectly to blame for the
killing for having told Cline ABOUT
his wife and Bergen. The composite
picture they painted OF the oeao
man was not attractive.
All three of the defendants TOOK
the stand and testified yesterday
They were the most important wit
nesses on their side, and 1t is be-
lieved that the verdict will be based
largely on their testimony. In open
ing the defense their counsel stated
that the prosecutions version of the
shooting was accurate in many de-
tails. 1t was admitted that Cline
name is George Walz.

From a survey of coal conditions
in this city today, 1t seems that
Perth Amboy is much better off as
far as the supplying Of coal to con-
sumers is concerned than some of
the larger cities of the. state. Con-
ditions are SO bad in Elizabeth that
Frederick C. Conkey, secretary of
the New Jersey Coal Exchange, said
today: Because of the hoggish dis
honesty of certain of the coal-using
public, appeals have been made to
the charity organizations by persons
unable to get coal. They have the
money, but cannot secure delivery o.
the kind of coal they want"
The Red Cross, Salvation Army
and coal dealers of the city were
questioned today by the Evening
News, to see if these same conditions
applied in this city. The Red Cross
announced that no one had request
ed their aid in securing supply of
coal, and the Salvation Army was
unable to give a definite answer as
the captain was not in. However,
it is believed that if requests for aid
had been made to the Army. others
beside the captain would have known
about it.

VESSEL HERE
South American Negro Tells
Romantic Story Taken to
Ellis Island

When the steamship Fran from
South America docked at the plant
of the Barber Asphalt Company
here yesterday James n. Ford a
colored man from Cristobal, Colon
was turned over to the custom au-
thorities as a stowaway. Ford, VINO
is exceptionally well educated, be-
ing a school teacher and a fluent
speaker of Spanish. was at once
placed under arrest and kept on
board the vessel until today, when
he was taken to Ellis Island for ex-
animation by the Board of Inquiry,
which will decide whether or not he
can remain in the country or must
return to South America when the
ship returns next Monday.
Ford claims that he is citizen OF
the United States by virtue of the
fact that he was born in the canal
zone. He also claims that he has
worked in Chicago and has a sister
living in New York City. However,
he has nothing to prove his claim OF
citizenship.
The Fran was three days on the
ocean before Ford was found to be
hiding in a coal bunker, acting as
eyes were seen peeping out of the
dark space. he was questioned and
although at first claiming that he
was doing the work of a sailor who
found it impossible to leave with the
ship, finally admitted that he was
a stowaway.
Ford was such good worker
that he was allowed to remain IN
the coal bunker, thus working his
passage to this city.
According to the story told by
Ford, he owned a farm in Venezuela,
where he lived with his wife and
children. A revolution broke out
and when it was completed his stock
and farm and family were gone. He
then deciSed to leave the country
which accounts for his appearance
aboard the Fran.
