NEW BRUNSWICK, n. J.. Oct. 10.
i believe we know the murderer Of
Mrs. Eleanor Mills and DR.. Hall. It
is the woman In gray.
This woman, dressed in long gray
coat that fell to her ankles. was seen
by witnesses at the spot where the
bodies OF the pastor and the sexton S
wife were found and was observed in
an automobile which I believe to have
been the death car.
Seer in Closed Motor
She was seen. this woman in gray,
in a closed motor car driving from
the scene that Thursday night.
She is the woman who was jealous
of Mrs. Mills.
She IS the woman who, otherwise
a normal, highly respected member
OF her community, was transformed
through jealous heat-hatred into a
fury, so that she slashed the throat
OF her pretty victim, whose only sin
was loving too much the beautiful
things OF life and the kindly man
who could give them to her.
I can not tell her name-yet. Our
chain OF evidence lacks some links.
She walks among US today a free
woman. behind a mask: her long, gray
coat discarded.
Measuring Distance
On the afternoon Of Sept. Il, she
was carefully measuring the distance
from the barn to the Somerset Coun-
ty line. The murder was committed
in AIiddlesex County. The bodies
were carefully taken to a spot just
over the line in Somerset County.
The center Of investigation was thus
thrown miles away from the homes
of the murderers.
During the questioning OF Mrs.
Hall, widow Of the pastor, county
authorities required her to put on a
long, gray coat, that a Hungarian
woman witness might identify her If
possible, as the woman in gray. This
the Hungarian woman failed to do.
But some day we viii put that coat
upon the right woman.
The body Of the pastor was cared
for tenderIy by the woman in gray.
Body Thrown Roughly
The body Of Mrs. Mills was thrown
roughly down.
Then the murderers, at a sign from
the woman IN gray. took their de
parture. leaving swiftly In closed
cars; but not before witnesses had
seen this woman and two Of her ac-
completes.
She is a free woman today, but
she must have left a trace. Perhaps
she wore a distinctive perfume. this
gray woman. In the passing crowds
this may lead to her detection.

Miners Election
Little Information could be OBJ
tanned today concerning the United
Mine Workers election which was
held yesterday. insufficient re-
turns have ben received to know
who has been elected sub district
president.
A few meagre reports, lnsuffici-
ent to even make a prediction.
show that James McCleary is lead
ing in several districts, but whe-
then this is true all over. the re-
gion Is q matter Of conjecture. It
Is said McCleary has carried the
scott's Run section, while Aiello
and McCleary were breaking even
at Jamison No. s. McComas, from
the few scattered reports whis-
pered about, was running behind,
although some observers are, In
clined to believe that he will show
moIe strength than generally
crdited to him. e.s..-
The truth OF the matter Is that
50 few Of the locals have been
hard from that the result Is alb
soluteiy unknown at this time.
With the Miners
Patrick Buckley, vice president
OF sub district 4, Is in Carolina to-
day.
James Mccleary, district organ
izers Is in Monongah today.
Frank Mccartney, distinct board
member, and Nick AlellS, sub dis
itrict president, are at the miners
