Troopers Working on Clews
Captain Weinnlan and his men, who
we're sent here by Governor Edwards
sfssr bis aid had been invoked by
eharleste Mills, fifteen-year-ol daugh-
ar Of the murdered woman, started
stair Investigation yesterday and they
bgan to work quite as though they
+ we're starting on new case. This
! usmiag, twenty-four hours after they
btssn, they were making efforts to
tail the missing gunmen. They
possess information concerning them
skieh nay make it unnecessary for
s. them to invoke the aid of the general
81 slssm.
The state police are entering the
& case under big handicap for much
! 'rideate Of probably enormous value
4 vas obscured By the bungling of off,
3 isis Of MiddieseX and Somerset
santies. The autopsy that is to be
ssrfarmed some time tomorrow on the
Ssody Of the Rev, Mr.. Hall is Just one
aIsnpe. The body is in vault in
Gresawood Cemetery, Brooklyn, and
&hss been there two weeks, during which
&tiae, seemingly, it never had occurred
8totAe prosecutors that they would have
aa difcult time convicting the murderer
Kaite. catching him when they could
&nst legally establish the cause of the
elsgyman's death.
