Is This a Case of
Sleeping Sickness

Mrs. Barney Williams, of the Cole
raine section, is suffering with very
strange attack. For "a hours she has
been asleep and all efforts to awake
her have proven futile. Yesterday
morning about o'clock she was
awake. Other members of the family
prepared breakfast and when they
approached Mrs. Williams bedside to
awake her for breakfast it was found
that it could not be done. The friends
Of this good woman are bafled by
reason Of this strange phenomenon
She has been in this condition now
for more than "a hours. Her respira-
ton and pulse are seemingly normal,
and nobody seems to understand the
peculiar malady.

LITTLE LIGHT ON
DOUBLE MURDER

On the heeels Of unconfirmed report.
that the grsnd jury of Somerset coun,
ty today had returned an indictmen,
in the Hall-Mills murder mystery, thu
investigation was given q sensational
twist tonight when it was officially
learned that an eyewitness to the
double shooting, woman of repu.
table character in New Brunswick
had been discovered.
The interjection of this new phase
in the already greatly complicated
case was said to have been RESPONSE
BILE for the sudden turn today in the
activity Of Prosecutor Beekman, who
appeared before the grand jury at
Somerville.
The only handicap now retarding
the prosecutor in bringing the sit.
uation to climax was said to be the
problem of positive Identification by
the newly found witness, as more
than one person is said to be involved
in the crime.
Neither Mr.. Beekman nor any other
court officials at the county seat in
Somerset could be induced to give
the slightest enlightenment on the
puzzling attitude of all concerned in
the inquiry.
Responsibility for the next move.
which is expected to be of sensa
tional character, was said now to be
squarely up to Prosecutor Beekman
who is moving cautiously in his ap-
parent desire to be sure Of his ground.
The home of Mrs. Frances Stevens
Hall, widow Of the slain rector, is
vigilantly guarded by state troopers
and all attempts to communicate with
the house by telephone have been
unsuccessful.
Prosecutor Beekman urged even to
intimate if the grand jury had taken
up the murder mystery today, refused
the slightest information, asserting
that all grand jury proceedings arc
absolutely secret and that any reports
supposedly coming from his Office
were unauthorized. He said, how
ever, satisfactory progress was be-
ing made in the investigation. For
the first time since the bodies of the
rector and the slain choir singer were
discovered Prosecutor Beekman and
County Detective Totten permitted
newspaper men to see the clothing
botht wore when they were killed.
Reports that the rectsr's had beer

holes in the back of the coat between

Mrs. Mills wore dark blue lawr

who are investigating Prosecuting

BUYING power Was
Of POOR QUALITY.
Deprived Of Shorts Support,
Whole List Was Found
Sensitive to Pressure

New York. Dec. +.---Today's stock
market experienced quite q great deal
Of difficulty in keeping its feet. Almost
from the outset prices were inclined g"
slip back and at several intervals tho
whole list appeared TO be on the verge
of another sinking spell. There was.
however, Il notable absence OF liqnidat.
ing pressure. which served to keep the
drives of the bear contingent Of the
professional traders within reasonable
bounds.
What .hc marker lacked most cor.
spicuously was buying power. Wha,
little developed was a very poor quality
Tn" support afforded by the short COY.
rring in the rallies last week was en-
tirely absent. In consequence the posi-.
tion Of the market at most all times was
very uncertain and it was roticeahly
thin and soft in practically all divisions.
Some called 1t secondary renction
and a natural development in the prog :
gress ct the readjustment. That va.
partly true. because it would have uc-
quired Il long. distance view to establish
any direct connection Of the reversal
with any outside developments during
the day or the over week -end. Tho
outstanding fact during the most Of the
time was that supply far exceeded the
demand and natural course ives crunb.
ling prices.
The weakness OF the market, how.
oyer. differed materially from that wit.
messed in the recent rcactionary move .
msnt. in that the extension Of declines
was followed by increasing dullness. al
though the list as . whole disclosed nc

The lack of stability shown by :h,

Htions on the short side. which wer
