KU KLUX THEORY
 SEEN IN DOUBLE
 CHURCH TRAGEDY

New Brunswick. N. J., Sept. 21-As the mystery deepened in the~ double murder of Rev. Edward W. Hall, rich rector of the Protestant Episcopal church of St. John the Evangelist, and his choir singer, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, married, blonde and beautiful, a theory began to take shape tooay that the couple may have been the victims of a sort of ku kluX klan form of vengeance
 While the Mills family was in straitaned circumstances, the Halls were rich. prominent and Of high and dignified position ~
 Residents of the neighborhood Of the old Phillips manor-the seat or the deserted haunted house"-said they. heard two automobiles race by on last Thursay nighttime night Of the double tragedy. They said they heard screams which rose and fell in tensity-drst as though pleading and endins in 8 sobbing vail that betoken- ed violent death. These cries lasted about seven minutes, ending at about 11:40 D. m.
 Amidst the diversity of clues, ru- nnors and theories which-rise up al- most hourly one is now advanced that Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills after being lured to some spot by telephone may have been seized and overpowereo. then placed in a powerful motor car to be borne through the midnight darkness to the lonely old farm where death in terrible form befell them.
