BY SHOT FROM FRONT,
AUTOPSY REVEALS
Investigators Also Learn That
Hall Had Fought His Muir
derous Assailants.
MORE WITNESSES FOUND

New Brunswick, Oct 6.-Renewed
talk of an impending arrest last night
stirred interest in the murders of the
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs.
James Mills, his choir singer, of New
Brunswick. y. J. The authorities of
Middlesex and Somerset counties. in
the latter Of which the bodies were
found. were deaf to all inquiries. but
very busy on the case.
The rumors followed receipts Of
report of the autopsy on the body of
Mr.. Hall in the Kings County Morgue
after ii had been exhumed in Green
wood cemetery, Brooklyn.
| DIR. f. /. Cronk. health officer of
New Brunswick. who attended the
autospy. said Mr.. Han was shot In
the head. as was Mrs. Mills. but only
one bullet entered his head. The bull
! let entered his right temple instead
of a point above the right ear, as DR..
William II. Long. county physician
of Somerset. had stated. j came out
of the back Of the neck az the left
side. There was mark on the lobe
of the right ear, however. which ap-
peared 10 have been made by another
bullet that grazed the head.
/ DIR. Cronk said the bullet that
passed through Mr.. Halls head was
of .32-caiibre. The one found in the
scalp OF Mrs Mills. as well as the
three found. were from a .32 -caIibre
automatic pistol. That convinced the
authorities Mr.. Hall and Mrs. Mills
were shot with the same pistol.
/. Knuckles Are Bruised.
The knuckles of Mr.. Halls hands
were cut and bruised as if he had been
in a fight, and there was bruise on
the left wrist. A mark on the right
leg had been caused in the embalming
of the body. There was, no mutilation
of the body by the slayer or slayers
such as the physicians had been ad-
Yised 10 look for.
Mr.. Hall unquestionably fought for
his life, but no such vengeance was
wrought upon him as was inflicted
upon Mrs. Mills, who was found to
have been shot three times in the
head and had her throat cut from ear
