the case?"
II think it is only fair to say that
that they were not done by newspaper
men," he said.
Mr.. Mott was asked what he thought
about Mrs. Gibson's credibility, but he
refused to comment, saying: "There
has been too much talking" Then after
a pause he added: II haven't done the
talking"
Authorities Believe Her
Nevertheless, Mrs. Gibson has per-
suaded those charged with responsible
ity for bringing the murderers of Or.
Hall and Mrs. Mills to justice that she
she saw on the Phillips's farm on The
night of September ID and in the early
hours Of September 15. Some of the
investigators have dug into the hidden
background of the woman, they saw.
and still profess to be completely sat
isfied with her story. One of them said
to-day that Mrs. Gibson had first told
this story before the Freeholders Of
M1ddlesex and Somerset counties Of
fered reward of $500 for information
leading to the arrest and conviction IF
the murderers of DR.. Hall and SIM
liar amount in the case of Mrs. Mills.
The offer was made contingent upon
proof that the crime was committed in
one or the other of these counties, so
that the total in no case will exceed
$1,000.
There is glaring defect Just now
in the case against the woman who
has been identified by Mrs. Gibson, and
that parodoxically is the lack of mo-
tive. Mr.. Mott will contend, of course.
that jealousy prompted the double kill
ing, but to prove it he will have to show
that the woman in question had seen
and read the letters written by Mrs.
Mills to Dr.. Hall and which were
strewn over their bodies, or possessed
other knowledge of their love affair.
Either shrewd legal advice or sub
lime faith would seem to be the only
prompting behind the reasoning that
would cause a woman to continue to
express faith in a husband, or vice
versa, after the almost unimpeachable
disclosures regarding the romance of
DR.. Hall and Mrs. Mills.
Mills In Sound Position
Although James Mills, the inscrut-
able, but seemingly mild and futile
husband of the murdered woman,
seemingly is without legal advice, he
New-York tribune., 1922-10-29

i has kept himself in fairly sound posi-
| tion by his assertions of an undimmet
/ filth in his wife and the rectors-espe
cially in his friend and bencfactor, thu
rector
If the state can show indisputably
Mt a trial that person who was en-;
titled to resent the affair of DR.. Hal
: and Mrs. Mills had knowledge of the
i romance before the murders, such evi-
dence will be Of Importance almost
equal to the story of Mrs. Gibson.
The lack of proof that such knowi-
edge was possessed by either Of tho
slain persons relatives is the principal
reason there has not been an arrest,
or arrests, and none Is likely until
any talebearers Or spies who may
have played o part in the tragedy have
been tagged, identified and frightened
BY threats Of trial as an accessory in
the murders, into becoming witnesses
for the state.
There are Mt least three persons,
two women and man, all members Of
the congregation Of the Church of st.
John the Evangelist, who are strongly
suspected of having carried tales about
the rector and the sections wife where
they would have caused the most
trouble.
Every one of these persons has been
questioned. They will be questioned
again.
Mrs. Hall has had the counsel of two
lawyers, but in the case Of James
Mills it was either a keen instinct or
fundamental lack of guile and nor
nal reactions that has kept him stead
fast in the role Of unsuspecting hus-
band. once or twice OF late he has
complained:
"Well, they certainly made n sucker
out of me-" but inevitably he changes
this attitude and makes new declara-
tions of faith in his wife and the
Clergyman.
1t became apparent to-day that
Mr.. Pfeiffer, the New York LAWYER
who is advising Mrs. Hall, either had
come into possession Of some new in
formation or else was contemplating
change of procedure Of some kind.
Shortly before noon, Mr.. Pfeiffer, ac-
companied by Felix Di Martini, pri-
vate detective employed by him on be-
half of Mrs. Hall, went to the court
house and asked the caretaker there
for some Of the state troopers. De-
tective James Mason, chief investiga-
tor for Mr.. Mott, introduced himself
to Mr.. Pfeiffer and they went into
Prosecutor Stricker's vacant office for
a conference.
This lasted for slightly more than
ten minutes. Then wher they came out
Mr. Pfeiffer was asked what his pur-
pose was.
"It's confidential" he retorted shortly,
in contrast with his usual manner.
Mr. Mason was then asked about
their talk. He was about to reply to
ried back, drew Mr.. Mason aside and
whispered to him. Then Mr.. Mason,
too, agreed that their talk has been
confidential"
Following this unusual conference
between the chief investigator for the
state and the lawyer; who has said sew
eral times that he would not be sur
prised if his client were arrested, Mr..
Mason hurried his return to Newark
In a conversation with newspaper
men after his visit to the Courthouse
Mr.. Pfeiffer said: "I'm getting to be-
lieye this business is unsolvable." He
was asked if he believed Mrs. Halls

getting into trouble with persons with
whom she has come in contact Edward
Mccormick, caterer at Rutgers College,
said to-day that Mrs. Gibson had gone
to President w. H. S, Demarest of
Rutgers about year ago and falsely nc :
cused him of compelling her to pay for
the privilege of removing garbage
from the students dining hall.
McCormick said the privilege was
not taken from Mrs. Gibson until an
other raiser of pigs had offered to pay
Sl00 month for the waste. Describ
ing the difficulty he had with Mrs.
Gibson, Mccormick said:
!. "She became so abusive that told
her If you don't get away from here
All punch you in the nose"
There was an investigation Of the
affair by the college authorities and
Mccormick was exonerated. On the
other hand, there are two other persons
who say they have known Mrs. Gibson
Tor several years and that they are in
ciined to believe her implicitly. One of
these is Paul F, Williams, president
Oh the Mlddlesex Society for the Pre-
vention OF Cruelty to Animals. He said
ne had known Mrs. Gibson for ten
years. The other man is County De-.
tective George Totten, Of Somerset
County.
Declares Her Word Is Good
Totten insists that he knows Mrs
Glbson's word ig good. Several times
she has sought his assistance in recov-
ering property that had been stolen
from her place.
mrs. Gibson was persuaded tonight
to discuss what she regarded as an at
tack on her recital by Mrs. A. c.
Fraley, who lives in De Russey Lane. .

she would say no more.
Mrs. Fraley had denied herself to
until to-day. A county de-
tectlve talked with her early in the in
but reported that she knew
nothing of value, although her home
is much nearer the scene than those of
others who reported having heard both
screams and shots that night. The

posite the untitled fields Of the Phillips
1ar1n' From her front windows it
would have been easily possible to

Miils's Brother Has Theory
Henry Mills, brother of James Mills,
told visitors at his two-story gray
stone cottage to-day that he had his
own theory Of the murder of his sister
in.law and the minister. He said he
had told Prosecutors Strieker and
Beekman his belief, but declined to re-
veal lt to-day.

Russia, he said, was one Of the
