first interview by roomful of report
ers. In regard to fixing a motive for
the murder of the rector and the choir
singer, the editorial says: "A crime as
dastardly as this would only have
sprung from jealousy as a motive, but
not from the jealousy of one merely
infatuated. Only one who felt he had
the right (this 'he' being generic mere
ly) could have spurred himself on to
the doing Of double murder such as
this, horrible in it's gnastly Details"
The editorial is headed, "a Medical
Phenomenon" and reads, in part:
"Mrs. Edward Wheeler Halls perfect
self-control will remain in medical an
nails for some time to come as an mex
plicable phenomenon. Not even the tu-
toring of lifetime in that strata Of
society. where to betray the feelings is
to indulge an objectionable faux pas,
can satisfactorily explain away Mrs.
Halls stoical composure.
1.-THE Medical Review of Reviews
cannot fathom the mystery Of poise
such as Mrs. Halls. Where in medical
lore can be found parallel beside
which to place this incompa arable rein
seems almost storied, an impossibility
in one of mere mortal endowments.
"The sudden death Of husband as
deeply beloved of his wife as the Rev.

should ordinarily prostate even
the man most rigid in concealing
grief. But the details of Mr.. Halls
snatching away are so revolving, SO
nerve destructive, that to preserve
ones poise in such bereavement de-
mands will power which for twin coun-
te1parts one must turn to the tabled
hel cicism Of early Rome. That Roman
general who bore with like fortitude
the death of his only son, or Cornelia,
who gave her boys as sacrificial offer
ings for the good Of the state, these
two ancient Romans, like Hamlet's Ho-
ratio, could hold back the salty rheum
from the eye; but their dear ones went
out in blaze of glory and, in way,
of their own volition. Mr.. Halls unex-
pected call before his Maker had moth

his bereft ones somewhat comforted
Bodicaea might better have been
Mrs. Halls prototype or one of those
queens to whom murder was a rung to
absolutism or to the quietings Of a
persistent though strangely prompted
"In her interrogation by twenty-five
reporters, an ordeal of unhappy magni-
tude to any person innocent or not.
Mrs. Hall showed not the slightest
culver of emotion as she minutely dis
cussed the particulars of her husbands
foul and most unnatural murther,' and
in keeping with her iron nerves she
has retreated FOR solace not to the
arms of the Church but to the Black
stone -girded stanchions of a stentorian
and unpleasantly aggressive lawyer"
