MRS. G|bSON |S
 LAST BUT ONE
 WITNESS HEARD
Widow of Slain Rector Re- ceives Decision With But
 Little Show of Emotion
NEW WITNESS SPRUNG
Foreman of Jury Refuses to Enlarge Upon Statement;
 Prosecutor Is Silent

SOMERVILLE, N. J., Nov. 2S.-(By the Associated Press)-''For reasons which seem to them sufficient and controlling the grand jury took no action in the Hall Mills murder case and laid the matter over. This does not mean necessarily that the matter cannot be taken up again by this or q subsequent grand jury"
 With these words foreman Gibbs of the Somerset county grand jury late today by known the fact that no indictment had been returned in one of the most mystifying murder dramas that has faced the country il many years. For five days Spe- cial Deputy Attorney General Mott had been presenting evidence to bol- ster up his theory as to who killed the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and his choir singer, Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, on the Phillips farm the night of September 14. Today the prose cutor presented his star witness and then settled back to await the jury's decision.
 Outside the jury room some one else was awaiting the decision. 1t was Mrs. Francis Noel Hall, the rector's widow, who had rushed to the court house this morning in the hope Of appearing before the grand jury and who had not been granted access.
 She received the decision as she has received all other developments in the case-stoically with scarcely a trace Of emotion.
 She received her first word of the jury's decision from member of that body. Coming out of the jury room, he handed a piece of paper to her lawyer, Timothy x. Pfeiffer of New York, who throughout the day had been seated in the foyer of the court house with Mrs. Hall and her confidante, Miss Sallie Peters. He at once communicated the message to his client.
 Then, while Foreman Gibb was is- suing his formal statement, Mrs. friend, she passed from the foyer in which all day she had SuDJected her- self to the stares of the curious and made her way to her car. The trio at once set out for the Hall home in New Brunswick
 Mir. Mott, apointed to direct the investigation because of critism of the manner in which it had been handled in the early stages, pinned his hopes to the story told him by Mrs. Jane Gibson, the quaint char acter who had appeared in the mys tery- drama under the caption of the pig woman"
 The woman swineherd-whose story was that she had stumbled across the double shooting while pursuing on mule back thiefs who had been

ANTHEMS, Nov. 2S.-(By the As sociated Press)-A statement issued by the court martial which condemn ed to. death former ministers. giving the reasons for imposing the sen tences of death says in effect that the defendants knowingly concealed from the people the danger involved in King Constantine's return 10 the throne, and that. although Greece was breaking away from her allian- ces. they did their utmost to consol- idate COnstantines thone in order 10 enjoy office under him.
 By terroristic methods" the state ment adds, they stifled all public opinion contrary to them, arranged with General Hadjanestis a pretend ed offensive against Constantinople and thereby brought about the en- emy's offensive and the collapse Of the Greek front in Asia Minor thus deliberately delivering large part of the army into the enemy's hands.

in Harbinger Booze

by Detective John Murray of the To-
cal police department in the pres
ence of United States Deputy Mar
shal George ]. Haley of Trenton.

guilty and was held under $l,5Oo
bail for the federal grand jury on
April II. Bail was furnished by Leo
Jacobson.
Although 1t has been impossible
to confirm the information. 1t Is re-
ported that Mccormick has been
arrested in connection with the
Harbinger case, which has created
considerable sensation since the
vessel arrived here from Canada
and efforts were made to take the
cargo of liquor from the hold of the
ship, the same being frustrated by
the officers of the local custom
house. The liquor was later re-
moved from the vessel by Sam
Henri Cone, who was then prohibi-
tion enforcement officer, and taken
to the government warehouse, in
Newark. 1t is understood that Dep
uty Marshal Haley had another
warrant for a local person but could
not locate him.
