Solving New Brunswick
Murder Mystery.

After three days investigation of the
murder of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall.

Evangelist, and Mrs. Eleanor Rein

James Mills, sexton OF the church. au-
thorities expressed confidence today's
Developments would bring about a
solution of the mystery. Arrests were
expected. County officials declared they
knew who did the shooting and where
II occurred.
The bodies were found Saturday
morning side by side under an apple
tree in an orchard In Somerset coun-
ty. Some of the authorities have ex-
pressed a belief that the shooting, how
ever, occurred over the line in Mid
dlesex county. and that the bodies
were then removed to the spot where
they wcce discovered.
1t has been disclosed that while
the face OF Mrs. Mills bore marks of
powder burns, no such marks were
found on the body of Mr.. Hall. This
was thought to indicate that the rec
tor was slain as he attempted to escape
and that the person who shot the
couple was close at hand when the
single shot which killed Mrs. Mills
was fired. Four bullet wounds were
found in Mr.. Halls body.
Strength was added 10 the theory
that another woman was in the party
when the shooting occurred when IL
was learned that Mrs. Mills face and

F|REMEN'S SUIT
AGAINST CITY FAILS
Action to Collect $4,000 for
Volunteers Dismissed
in Court.

Petition OF the State of Delaware, on
relation OF the Volunteer Firemen's
Relief Association, against the Mayor.
Council and city treasurer, TO show
cause why a writ of mandamus should
not have been issued TO compel the
city TO pay the association $4,000. was
dismissed and the rule 10 show cause,
was discharged in an opinion handed
down by Judges Rice and Rodney in
Superior Court this morning. The
opinion was read by Judge Rodney.
The courts opinion was to the effect
that the Clerk of Council. who must
sign. and the City Auditor, who must
countersign, all orders for drawing Of
money from the city funds, should
have been named as respondents in
the action. The law requires their
signatures on all checks, in addition
to the signatures OF the president of
Council and the city treasurer. Henry
II. Isaacs and LaPenne Guenveur were
attorneys for the relator and City So
licitor Reuben Satterthwaite for the
city.
The mandamus was brought under
the act creating the Department Of
Public Safety in 1927, in which ii is
provided that within three months
after the taking over by the Depart
ment Of Public Safety of the real and
personal property of the several fire
companies" the Mayor and Council
shall pay to the proper officers of the
Firemen's Volunteer Relief Associa-
tion $4,000 in full payment for all
claims and demands.
On the petition. a rule to show
.cause was issued. The respondents
moved 10 quash the rule and dismiss
the petition, for the rea sons that the
petitioner had adequate and sufficient
remedy at law for the collection of
The money; that the petition did not
anege that the respondent had suf-
hcient money, not otherwise appropri-
ated by law. out OF which the amount
might be paid; that the petition did
not name as respondents all the neces-
sary parties. and that the respondent
was not able TO comply with the
terms Of the mandamus. II ordered
The opinion states that 1t was I'M
necessary TO consider the first, second
and fourth objections in view of the
opinion on the third.
The court set forth, in regard to the
third objection. that the charter of the
city of Wilmington provides that all
orders for drawing of funds must be
signed by the president and clerk OF
Council and countersigned by the
city auditor and city treasurer, or, in
the absence OF any one of them. by
some one designated by a resolution
by Council.
The act Of 1921 creating the Public
Safety Department does not modify
or repeal that procedure in the draw
ing OF funds from the city treasurer
the opinion holds.
