Philip c. Samuels and Max Lazarus,

shortage in the uptown office at 20
West Forty-third street. but we are
not prepared at this time to say who

John F. Collins, 25 Herkimer Street,
Brooklyn, was shot last night by one
OF two automobile thieves with whose
attempt to steal his employers car
Collins interfered. The bullet struck
him in the right side. He is in Swe-
dish Hospital and may die. The car
thieves were pursued so closely by a
crowd that they abandoned the car
when it was stalled in a traffic jan,
and made their escape afoot.
Collins is secretary to F. w. Lang
Brooklyn. He was alone in his en-
ployer's touring car, driving south on
Nostrand Avenue about p. m, and
stopped at stationery store between
Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street to
get paper.
On emerging from the store he saw
a stranger seated at the steering wheel
of his machine, about to drive away.
Collins darted to the curb and swung
himself to the running board, striving
to reach the ignition switch. Before
he could do so the man at the wheel
gave him a back-hand blow with his
right fist, which sent Collins rolling in
the street.
Collins scrambled to his feet and
made a desperate attempt to overtake
the car He was reaching for the rear
brace of the top when man, who had
been lettering at the curb short dis
tance ahead of the automobile, drew a
revolver from his pocket and fired at
Collins.
Collins fell to the pavement, The
man who had shot him pocketed his
revolver, stepped to the running board
Of the car as it passed him and swung
himself inside.
The car whirled around the corner
into Pacific Street and started west
Behind was crowd in full cry. At
Franklin Avenue the car had to halt
due to traffic. There the thieves
jumped to the street and escaped.

source that the authorities have wit
nesses who say they frequently saw
Mrs. Hall, bareheaded, driving her
closed car in Buccleugh Park, which
was the region selected by Mrs. Mills
and the. rector for their clandestine
meetings.
Prosecutor Mott is also understood
to possess information that the rec
tor usually travelled to that region by
& devious route as if he was trying to
throw possible stalkers off the trail.
Mr.. Mott is understood to possess
other information indicating that the
rector did not have happy time of it
during his last few weeks of life, es-
pecialiy after his return from Maine,
where he wrote a diary that he in
tended for the eyes of Mrs. Mills only.
Supporting this belief that he was up
set during those last few weeks pre-
ceding his death, is n bit Of gossip from
Berlin's Corners, not far from New
Brunswick. On the afternoon he was
the Parent Teachers Association Of
the Parsons School.
His manner was described by some
of the twenty-five or thirty persons
who heard him that day IS nervous
and distracted. He delivered q brief
eulogy on the late James F. Parsons,
philanthropist, after whom the
school was named. Some of the
women noticed that DR.. Hall frequent
ly seemed to lose the thread Of his dis
course and this could hardly have been
due to an inability to think of eulogis-
tic-phrases about Mr.. Parsons who had
been his friend. Immediately after
finishing fifteen minute talk, DR.. Hall
started for his automobile. The women
Of the association endeavored to per-
suade him to remain and have some
refreshments, but he told them almost
curtly that he was obliged to hurry
back to New Brunswick to keep an i'm
portant engagement. He did hurry
back and a few hours later, he was
killed.

The grand jury Of Mercer County,

IS investigating transactions of the
bankrupt stock brokerage firm Of HALL
& Co., formerly of 90 Broad Street,
New York, upon complaint Of credit
ors in Trenton, whore Hall & Co. had
branch Office. Tho Trenton credit
ors, it was said. about twenty-five in
number, have claims against the bank
rupt aggregating $4,000.
There have already been three visits
Of prosecuting officials. of Massachu-
setts, including representatives of the
Massachusetts, Attorney Generals Of
fee, and of New Hampshire. TO the
District Attorneys office of New York
in the Hall case, resulting in an in
vestigation here, which, it is under
stood, has not yet been completed.
Transactions in Trenton
According to William Reich. an at
torney of Trenton, who represents some
of the creditors there, he was ad-
vised last spring by the New York
District Attorneys Office that, in its
opinion, any crime involved Hall
Il Co.'s transactions was committed in
Trenton and not in New York. Mr.
Reich said that although all the
transactions complained of were done
with the New York Office by telegraph, /,
and that Hall and his associates had
their headquarters in New York, and
that, SO far as is known, all securities
were forwarded at once to New York,
Benjamin F. Schreiber, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney here, said he feared
New York had no jurisdiction and ad-
yised Mr.. Reich to 20 to the prosecutor
in Trenton.
Mr.. Reich then went, he says, to Day
ton A. 0liphant, prosecutor of Mercer
County, in which Trenton is located,
and Mr.. Oliphant took the matter be-
fore the October grand jury there, al
though he felt, Mr.. Reich said, that the
case should be taken up in New York.
The specific case was that of Joseph Fl.
Closson, of Trenton, who sent ten
shares of United States Gas Improve
ment Company stock to Hall & Co. as
collateral and has not been able to find
it since.
Will Withdraw Claims
At the hearing of reclamation claims
in the Hall case before Referee in
Bankruptcy Harold P. Coffin yesterday
morning Francis M. Faiion, on behalf
of western Massachusetts creditors
whom he represents, stated that he
would withdraw these claims, which are
for specific securities supposed to be
in the possession of Hall & Co. at the
time of the failure. He would give his
clients a chance to exercise their op-
tion, Mr.. Fallon stated, to put in a
claim for money or to participate in
criminal complaints to the District At
torney's Offices in New York and in
Massachusetts.
The securities for which these recla-
nation claims were filed after the
failure last February were either never
bought, Mr.. Fallon charged, or, If
bought, were sold through "house ac-
counts" or otherwise disposed of. The
customers, having ordered the purchase
of certain stocks for their accounts
put in claims for these stocks at the
\ time Of the failure. or ii they delivered
