ing the letters public II may be
that this seeming contradiction Is
indicative OF the heavy strains un-
der which Mrs. Hall has been labor
ing
Her examination on Tuesday war
not held with the hope OF elicitins
anything new, but that the prosecu-
tors might check up her statements
now with her previous statements.
before the last examination the
prosecutors had obtained important
new evidence through the arrest OF
Schneider and Hayes and this evil
ldence is said to have pointed strong
lily in one direction. It is believed
some of It was used in the course of
Mrs. Halls denomination.
The mysterious Hungarian woman
with whom Mrs. Hall was confront
/ ed remains mysterious. 1t was said
at the courthouse that she is tho
wife OF Matthew Sulitz, a Hungarian
who keeps COW on the Phillips
farm and whose kitchen knives were
taken away from him some time
back. sulitz denied today that his
wife had been at the courthouse and
other Information is that the mys-
terious woman actually lives much
further away from the farm than
does sulitz.
Henry Stevens alibi seams to be
perfect, IL was ascertained. At Laval
lette, whence trip was made 20
check Il up, II was learned that there
is no speedometer on Stevens Ford
car, so that the stories regarding the
way in which It registered could
not be true. He was out fishing with
Albert Applegate on the night Of
September IA and was seen also
early the next morning. Lavanette
is forty-flve miles from here.
Mrs. Addison Clarke, also referred
10 as Minna Clarke and regarded as
Mrs. Mills best friend, brought her
self into the colloquy that has arisen
locally over the Mills womans let
ters today by writing TO the local |
newspapers as follows:
IAN article appeared in your paper
on October II, and II has several
times been stated that I was mem
ber OF the church choir at the
Church OF st. John the Evangelist.
This is not true. Also the statements
as to my giving the Rev. Mr.. Hall a
cake and pie are untrue.
"As for my going TO the church on
Saturday afternoon with a relative
of Mrs. Hall and taking out a pack
age. this is true. The package con-
tained the Rev. Mr.. Halls burial
vestments. and was taken to Under
taker Hubbsrd's Office and not to
Mrs. Halls.
Hoping this will set the public
right
Mrs. Addison Clarke"

portunity. especially in view OF the
fact that the Governor was brought
into the case by the appeal by Char
lotte Mills.
More OF the letters written by Mrs.
Mills to Hall were made public yes
terday as was expected. They breathe
much the same fervent brand OF af-,
lection that Hall showed in his
writings, but Mrs. Mills was not so
ejaculatory In her style. II Is clear
that they we're written at periods far
apart and that they reached Hall. but
they do not disclose any startling
,lews 10 the murderer such as might
have been expected in view OF the
