Is reported to have described the
killings, occupied local authorities
today.
Deputy Attorney General Mott at
Somervile. still sifted a great mass
OF evidence placed at his disposal
by Prosecutor Beekman.
Mrs. Gibson's statement, which
was secured by Detective Totten, of
Somerset county, lacks corrobora-
ton in essential details. Another
woman, Mrs. Matthew Sulitz, wife OF
the earetaker of Phillips farm, near
which place the bodies were found,
Is now reported to have told the au-
thorities she heard four shots at the
time mentioned in Mrs. Gibson's
story.
The latter's account of her night
ride on mule to the alleged scene
of the crime, and of seeing two men
and two women, hearing four shots
and woman cry was not convinc-
ing enough to divert the new chief
prosecutor from his detailed study
of earlier evidence. Nor was 1t suf-
ficient evidence for Prosecutor Beck
man to ask an Indictment Of the
grand jury.
Today, the local detectives had
succeeded in piecing one more bit
into the new theory of the tragedy
evolved from Mrs. Gibson's tale.
Besides Mrs. Sulitz, a man who
lives in the vicinity Of the Phillips
farm, has told officials he heard
four shots coming from the direc-
tion of the crab apple tree at about
1920 or $50 on the evening Of the
crime.

called the prosecutors office, but

Mrs. Hall to go to the bank without
them.
