ginning of their married life up 10 the

Said5

every day when she lived in New Bruins
wick. He was a devoted son, brother
and husband. Our mother lived down
town. at the Bayard a family hotel.
and Mr.. Hall would call there every
afternoon, and nearly always was ac-
companied by his wife. They would
take long drives together. In fact, Mr..
Hall called on his mother on the after
noon of Thursday, September IA. His
manner was the same as ever, and ne
took mother over 10 Highland Park In
the automobile, so that she could take
some clothing to some poor people over

gether in Maine was a particularly
happy one.' and Mrs. voorhees, inter-
jected: "Yes. it was on the goth OF
July that Mr.. and Mrs. Hall came to my
home in Jersey City. On the eleventh
anniversary of their marriage we had
cake for them, and a very happy time.
They left a little later Ia August for
I'd he Weather
and both In the very best Of spirits"
Here reporters asked Mrs. bonner II
she had heard Of the fact that Hall had
told his wife they would be gone only
three Sundays, as IL she knew that the
rector had quarreled over the cutting
down of the usual vacation time from
four weeks. Mrs. Voorhees, said:
"They told me that they were going
to take only three weeks vacation. ss
they wanted to give the servants va
cation of that length, and not four
weeks. Then they wanted to return
and open UP their home"

he would "be at your apartment late this
evening"" Mrs. Bonner stated that she
had received several kilograms from her
b. other in the past, and that she be-
lieved he had sent one either on July
81 or August !, but that II she remem-
bered correctly, il had to do with some
plans which his mother had made. Both
of the sisters left New Brunswick on an
afternoon train.
Mott and Bcckman Confer.
The developments In the Hali-Mills
case here to-day we're confined to a
short conference between Prosecutors
Mott and Beekman IN Somerville, and
the information from official sources
that the investigators arc still looking
for the gun with which the staying was
done, and for the automobile. which they
believe carried some OF the principals, to
the scene Of the finding of the bodies.
There was no meeting of the Somerset
county Grand Jury. and 1t is unlikely
that that body will be called for some
days.
To quote PROSECUTOR Mott as regards
the status OF the case at present, and
the possibility Of either an arrest or in
ctment by the Grand Jury:
Sooner or later all homicide cases
in New Jersey reach the Grand jury"
He refused to make any other comment
