New Brunswick. N. J.. Oct. 2s.--- Four hours after she had witnessed the shooting of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall rector of the Episcopal church of St. John the Evangelist and his choir leader. Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills, on the night of September IA, Mrs Jane Gibson returned to the scene and 1 saw the woman she says was present when the two were slain bending over the body of the rector weeping bitter ly. Neither the man who Mrs. Gibson has told the authorities shot Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills nor the automobile parked nearby at the time of the murder was in sight when she made the second visit.

Wilbur Mott.
 Confident that he has solved the murder which he says is complex but not a mystery Prosecutor Mott went ahead today with the work of as- sembling corroborative evidence. He indicated to newspapermen that no ar- rests will be made until he has pre- sented the case to the Somerset coun- ty grand jury.

Mott during the lengthy interview that she lost one of her moccasins as she rode hurriedly away after witnessing the shooting of the pair and returned four hours later to search for it,

 Mott Is Impressed.

 He said that he had been present when she was subjected to stiff cross examination. Sometimes, he said, Mir Mott would question her about points she had not mentioned, but invariably she came back with the retort that she had not said any such thing as he attributed to her
