Insinuations of Guilt in Double
Crime Wiring Protest From
Rector's Widow.
LOVED PASTOR, SHE AYERS
Accused Woman Makes State
ment After AII-Day Con-
ference With Family.
By JOHN l.. SPIVAK,
Internal tionaI News Service.


NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Oct.
28.-Breaking the silence that has
oppressed her soul, Mrs. Frances
Hall, widow Of Rev. DR.. Edward
W. Hall, rector of the Protestant
Episcopal Church Of st. John the
Evangelist, whose murdered body
was found alongside that Of the
beautiful choir singer, Mrs. James
Mills, tonight proclaimed her inno-
cence to the world. She repudiated
all insinuations that have been
levelled at her and sought to purge
her good name Of all accusations.
Protests Her Innocence.
This was the first statement is
sued by Mrs. Hall since certain
affidavits had been placed into the
hands of the authorities by Mrs.
Jane Gibson, an eyewitness Of the
tragedy.
1t was issued after a long family
council that lasted throughout the
afternoon and evening. Mrs. Hall
did not meet the correspondent
face to face, but issued the fol-
lowing pronouncement of inno-
cence through a lifelong friend:
What is there to say? I was
not there. I know was not there.
But they probably will not believe
me. For my own part I have been
a figure in this community for
many, many years. I have tried to
be honest and honorable. Does not
a persons past count for any
thing?"
The friend through whom the
statement was issued said that
Mrs. Hall wished to make it en-
phatically known that she knew
nothing about the murder Of her
husband; that she is entirely inno-
cent.
Mrs. Hall was quoted as saying
to her relatives during the council:
ct lived for him Dr. HalD. and he
lived for me-"
Devoted to Husband.
On behalf Of Mrs. Hall, the friend
declared:
MRS. Hall still believes in the inno'
cence and the purity of the soul Of
her dead husband. She believes that
IL he could come back to life he could
explain the letters that were scat.
tered about the bodies when they
were found"
Edward Carpenter, a cousin Of
Mrs. Hall, who took part in the
family council. told Of Mrs. Halls
undying devotion for her husband.
despite the evidence that he was
carrying on an Illicit love affair with
Mrs. Mills.
There is no use trying to con.
vince Frances that Edward (her hus.
band) did not have the soul of
saint" said Carpenter.
The spokesman for Mrs. Hall des-
cribed her lonely. isolated, tragic
life. She became the personification
of tragedy. She is afraid to venture
forth because Of the stress of the
curious, the surveillance of the au.
thorities and the annoyance OF re-
porters and photographers.
The widow has her breakfast sent

such litigation is pending, the tolls

TWO OIL LEASES
ARE FILED HERE

Two oil leases have been filed
for record here covering land
about two and one-half miles
southeast Of St. Paul and two
niles northwest of West Wood
ourn.
The first lease was from Charles
Edward Allenback and wife to
Amos h. Black of Yamhill coun-
ty, and by It's terms Mr.. Black or
MS assigns were given exclusive
rights to all oil, petroleum and gas
that might accrue from drilling
on land owned by Mr.. Allenbach
N sections and 5, in township S
south of range 2 west,
The grantee is also given the
right to lay pipes, construct build
ings and tanks and to construct
derrick for drilling purposes.
The lease also provides that
drilling for oil must begin with
in one year and that the grantor
shall be paid royalty of one-tenth
Of all oil, gas or petroleum found,
and that the lease shall extend for
a period of 40 years.
A lease with the same terms was
filed in which w. S. Bates and
wife are the grantors, and Amos
r. Black the grantee. The land
is in the same district as that
owned by Mr., Allenbach.
Old timers recall that many
years ago, oil companies secured
lease from a number of farmers
in the st. Paul and West Wood
burn district, but at that time
nothing resulted from the drilling
for oil or gas.

THREE C,S FOR SOUTH MISS.
COTTON, CATTLE, AND
COOPERATION

Figures indicate that prosperity
stares the South Mississippian in
the face. She isn't even around the
corner. Meet her on the highway,
just anywhere, Mr.. Farmer, Trucker
or Cattleman!
Note the price Of cotton, twenty
five cents, and every sign pointing
to a shortage of the raw material
before another crop grows to- meet
the demand.
To be sure, exports are falling
behind this year, but domestic con-
sumption is far ahead of 1921.
World stocks are light and world
consumption in 1922 far ahead of
consumption for 1921 with this
years available supply showing less
than a million bales more than
1921 figures for consumption and
export.
It is conceded that the Southern
cotton grower is in far better finan-
cial shape than agriculturists in
any other section.

Cooperation Pays.
Twenty-Five per cent more cotton
was raised in Oklahoma in 1922
than in 1921, according to govern
ment estimates, by the 3,7OO mem
bers of the Oklahoma Cotton Grow
ers' Association. Added to this in
crease in production the figures of
the Association show that 81 per
bale was saved to the members on
all cotton handled comparatively
through the Association. This gain
came from expert classification so
that all cotton sold at full quality
value and, here's where the big
item shouts for the attention of
Forrest county farmers, expert sales
service which sells the Oklahoma
cotton on all markets of the world
at the highest price on the market,
and the elimination of speculative
profits.

Sounds like good time to con-
slider and properly value the fact
that the greatest cattle country
ever is right in South Mississippi.
The greatest fallacy South Miss
issippi developers can advocate is
the suitability of the bulk of cut
over pine lands in this section for
general farming purposes.
It is true that small areas are
adaptable for trucking, for cotton
raising, for fruit growing, etc.
thousands and thousands of acres
are well watered, are year by year
