 IN UNTANCLINC
(Continued from Page one.)

(Continued from Page One.) Tne following new evidence has been unearthed and will furnish much of the ground upon which the pro posed arrests are to be made:
 Love Letters.
 l. Discovery of love letters written by Dr. Hall to Mrs. Mills showing that he was infatuated with her; that he had been keeping love trysts with her and that he had proposed eloping with her to some foreign country.
 Z. Finding of a witness who saw a woman looking over the old Phillips farm (where the bodies were discov- ered) on the afternoon of the day Of the murder, Sept. fl.
 3. Discovery of two blood-stained handkerchiefs near the spot on the Phillips farm, where the bodies were found laid out beneath a stunted crab apple tree-one of the handkerchiefs bearing a monogram, the letter |tS D
 4. Finding of a witness who saw a motonIess automobile standing in De Russey Park on the night of Sept 1k when Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills were shot to death.
 The witness who saw a woman looking over the old Phillips farm on the afternoo~ of Sept. 14 has identi- lied her from a photograph.
 Three persons were summoned to the courthouse this morning for final exa imitation before the authorities act. They were Mrs. Hall, widow of the slain clergyman; Henry Stevens, her brother, and Miss Louise G. Geist, one of the three maids in the Hall home
 Stevens is wealthy and maintains two homes, one in New York city and the other at La Val1ett, N. J. He has produced witnesses to show that he was a. fishing excursion near La. Va1lett on the night of the double killing. Miss Geist is valued as a witness because she overheard the telephone conversation between pr. Hall and some other person just be- fore q 1af ha nj of Sept. If, never to return.
 MT. Stevens had planned to sail for Europe week ago, but upon the ad- vice of his counsel that he might be wanted again as a witness he post poned his journey.
 Chief interest today centered upon
 1. Identity Of the suspected per sons.
 3. Contents of the love letters that passed between Dr. Hall and his beautiful choir leader, Mrs. Mills.
 Hall often referred to Mrs. Mills as my Gypsy" My Gypsy Queen,' and my ''Wonder Sweet" Mrs. Mills refer red to the clergyman as Dear Baby kfns.''
 It is understood that these were the letters which were in possession of E1izabth North, volunteer counsel for 16-year-old Charlotte Mills daughter of the murdered woman.
 In addition to letters there were a number of postcards that Dr. Hall sent to Mrs. Mills while he and Mrs. Hail were spending the summer at their cottage in Isleford, Me.
 That Mrs. Hall knew that there 1 was an attachment between her hus- l band and the choir leader was in l dica ted by frequent urgings of the i clergyman to Mrs. Mills mot to mind 1 anything that Mrs. Hall said.'' It now develops that when pr. | Halls body was found he wore a tie | ,lasp with the letter 'fG'' engraved | 1pon 1t. Mrs. Hall was questioned | about it and said that her husband l .old her he had found 1t in the l church. From the letters found be- l lief has arisen that the clasp was l really a gift from Mrs. Mills and that | fG'' stood for her pet name Gypsy"
 Dr. Hall kept a "1ove diary in | addition to writing letters to Mrs. l Hall, and 1t, like the letters is filled l with poetica1 aiiusions. Most of the | ,etters were signed ID. T. J.,'' which stood for the German expression 'Deine True Liebe''-'fYour True Love-
 Mention was made in the letters to Our Road" which Is now taken to 1 mean De Russey lane, the isolated l yath running through the Phillips | farm near which the bodies were l found.
 There are still missing links in the | evidence. The murder pistol has not | been found nor the knife with which | Mrs. Mills throat was cut. It may | be necessary to base arrests largely l mon circumstantiaI evidence, unless there is a confession.
