s Suspect More Than One
More than one woman was jealous Of
Mrs, Mills, it Is believed by some of
the rinyestigators. One Of them was
person who had access to the choir
oft. II was learned Yesterday that
several weeks ago when officials Of the
Ghurch Of 81. John the Evangelist
made an examination of the choir loft
they came across several hymnals from
which Peace, Perfect Peace" had been
torn out.
This hymn was the favorite Of DR..
Hall and the sections wife.
This, IL is said, led some cf the
CHURCH officials TO believe that some
one who. knew Of the love affair Of The
minister and the choir singer. pre-
sumably another woman member Of the
choir, had wreakcd futile Vengeance
on the couple by deletng their favorite
lynn from the books. 1t probably was
one Of series of petty anaoyances TO
which Mrs. Mills had been subjected.

the subject of comment In the choir
