NEW BRUNSWICK. n. J., Oct. %
Wilbur A. Mott, special deputy attorney
general, who has taken over the inquiry
into the Hall-AIills murder mystery, ex-
pected to interview a prominent church
man today in an effort to corroborate
the statement of Mrs. Jane Gibson, eye
witness of the double Staying.
Mott indicated that he intended to
cause the churchman's arrest unless he
agreed to become a witness for the prose
cution. Failure of the man, said to
have been near the scene of the murder,
to acquaint the authorities with his al
legged knowledge of the affair has laid
him liable to arrest, Prosecutor Mott be
lieves.
Mott is said to be in possession of data
showing that this same man had dis
covered the letters of Mrs. Elinor Rine-
hart Mills, slain choir leader, to Rev
Edward Wheeler Hail, who was killed
with her, and that he showed them to
Mrs. Francis Stevens Hall, the clergy
mans wife.
His car is said to have been parked
near the crabapple tree on the old Phil
lips place and its headlights made it i'm
possible for Mrs. Gibson to see the bat
tie that ended in the death of DIR. Hall
and Mrs. Mills.
