NEW MAN AND WOMEN IN
THE MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 2a.--
Prosecutor Bcekman. OF Somerset
County was expected to lay tho evil
dence In the Mills murder case
before tho grand jury today. At the
same time detectives on his stan were
busy rounding up now and old Wit
nesses for examination at secret
headquarters. where most witnesses
have been taken recently in an EFFORT
to avoid the many newspaper men
working on the case.
Great interest was manifested by
authorities In a report that tho Rev
Hail. slain rector OF tho Episcopal
Church OF st. John tho Evangelist
once employed a private detective to
curb the activities of man who Mrs.
Mills, choir leader. killed with the
Clergyman, had complained was an

An inquiry was begun today also OF
the report that another woman was
involved In the love complications of
DR.. Hall and that he visited her alone
in a Manhattan apartment. Author

telegram TO this woman early IN
August. II read: "Will be Mt your
apartment late this evening" Western
Union officials have declined to turn

authorities without n court order.
Both reports were said 10 he sup
