New-York tribune., 1922-11-28

door to Mrs. Mills. Her testimony
was followed by that of Mira. Elsie
Barnhardt, sister Of Mrs. Mills. Her
story had TO do with her knowledge of
the intimacy between MIR. Hall and
Mrs. Mills. She is understood to have
recounted conversation with her sis
ter, in which Mrs. Mills said that Mrs.
Hall came to her with the piea: aYou
are making my life very unhappy"
subterfuge that her sister was gotnp
to the dentist with her and not with
Mr.. Hall.
Surprise Of the Day
Mrs. Clark had been waiting her turn
all day, reading a magazine most of
the time TO conceal her obvious ner-
vousness. She was called after Mrs.
Barnhardt and walked into the jury
room with confident stride. There
Wac gasp of surprise among the spec
tators when she suddenly walked out
again. 1t seemed as If she could not
have done more than give her mama
and address in such short period.
BY actual count she was in the jury
room four minutes. A large smile
overspread her features as she came
out and collected her fee for testify
ing. She was at the Hall home on the
afternoon preceding the murder. She
has been questioned repeatedly about
letters which are believed to have been
taken from secret letter box in the
church and delivered at the Hall home
on the day of the crime. The authori-
ties would give no explanation of the
sudden collapse Of this WITNESSES tes-
timony.
William Phillips, night watchman at
10 4n
en-, told Of seeing q woman in gray
enter the Hall home about $3.50 a. m.
on the morning following the murder
The college buildings are right across
from the Hall home. Mrs. Hall has
admitted that it was she the man saw
returning from her hunt for her hus-
band. She says that Willie Stevens
was with her, but the watchman could
only testify to seeing one persona
woman.
Peter Tumulty, the Hail chauffeur.
was another five minute witness. His
testimony dealt entirely with the con-
dition of the cars in the garage before
and after September IA.
Willie Stevens's alleged statements
about, suppressing all gossip concern
Ing the Hall family were repeated to
the grand jury by George Kuhn, a to-
baconnist. His story is that on the
day Of Mrs. Mills's funeral Willie ap-
preached him and asked him to deny
any rumors he might hear about the
Hall or Stevens families. When Kuhn
refused to make this promise, Willie
is reported to have beat his hands
against his breast and to have said
that his heart was bursting out Of his
clothes.
Other witnesses were Austin and
William Grealis, who cleaned Willie's
clothes two days after the murder; Mrs.
augusta Tehneson, another sister of
Mrs. Mills; Cedric Paulus, who lives
across from the church and who was
questioned as to whether he saw a
hight there on the night Of the murder,
and Clifford Hayes, the youth once ac-
cused of the murder by RAYMOND
Schneider
A witness who attracted much atten-
tlon but whose examination lasted
only ten minutes was Catherine Ras-
tan, who was out driving with Gors-
line on the night of the crime. She
looks the merest child, because her
features are small and delicate and her
skirts are short. She had to wait all
day before being called and was in
tensely nervous. Her fingers twitched
and intertwined as witnesses came and
went through the jury room door. She
was plainly relieved when her turn
was over.
Edward Carpenter also waited all
day to be called, but was finally In
formed by Prosecutor Beekman that he
did not nee1 to come back, since an
other witness had corroborated the
point on which he was to be ques-
toned. He is the only member of
the Carpenter family who's has ap-
peared thus far in the proceedings.
