New-York tribune., 1922-11-23

presumably by the people who had left
A few feet up Easton Avenue and
diagonaliy across her place is the en-
| trance to De Motts Lane, another one
of the red clay lanes that run parallel
to De Russeys. The first car swung
| into De Motifs Lane to turn left at top
speed, going in the direction of New
Brunswick. 1t was followed immedi-
ately by the second car, which managed
to turn without going into the lane.
Both cars would have to pass De
Russeys Lane on their way into town.
| Mrs. Voorhees, also insists that to-
ward the latter part of September Mrs.
! Jane Gibson came to her place to bor-
row reaper and they talked about the
| murder but the "pig woman" did not
mention knowing anything about it,
Willie Easton, Mrs. Gibson's son, was
also over at her place and gave no
indication of knowing that his mother
had knowledge of the murder, accord
ins TO Mrs. Voorhees,. The new wit
ness's husband is a farmer, widely
known in the vicinity. They have one
son and one daughter. The latter is
a waitress in a New York restaurant.
Aside from the sudden appearance Of
Mrs. Voorhees,, the third day Of the
grand jury proceedings had more color
and liveliness than the preceding days,
because of the number Of feminine wit
nesses called-some of them principals
in tho case. The sudden adjournment
with the presentation of evidence only
half completed was not explained to-
day by any Of the officials. They ex-
pect to hold sessions for three days
next week to examine the rest of the
witnesses. So far forty have appeared
before the grand jury. Eleven were
examined the first day, seventeen the
second and twelve to-day. Mrs Gibson,
whose appearance is anticipated with
interest, will be one of the last wit
nesses called next week.
1t is understood that the three wo-
men on the grand jury are taking the
keenest interest in the case and do
considerable amount of questioning
especially when a woman is on the
stand.
There was human study in the
group Of figures that sat around the
jury room door this morning waiting
for the summons. First of all there
was siXteen-year- Charlotte Mills,
a subdued Charlotte, minus her pendu-
lum earrings and her dropping feather
She was not in mourning, for she
stopped wearing black shortly after
her mothers death, but she was girl
ishly and neatly dressed in a three
piece navy blue suit finished with a
Peter Pan collar and peacock blue tie.
Her hat was plain blue falt of the
same shade, with wool embroidery, and
zebra stripes that she has been wear
ing, she wore plain brown hose with
fiat-heeled shoes. She carried a tan
coat for outside wear
Three Chat and Laugh
Most of the day she conversed light
ly and laughingly with Barbara Tough
and Louise Geist, the seamstress and
housemaid at the Hall home. Louise,
who is pretty, was dressed in plain
black suit with fur neckpiece and a
black silk velour hat. She was reading
"Tish," by Mary Roberts Rinehardt,
when she was not chatting vivaciously
with detectives or with Charlotte. Both
the maid and seamstress seemed re-
lieved when they were dismissed for
the day, as the grand jury did not
reach them.
James Mills sat stonily across the
hall, his face as white and set as
marble, his hands twitching nervously
with his hat. He was one Of the last
witnesses called and was in the jury
room for an hour and ten minutes. He
and Charlotte, with the maids from
the Hall home, walked around the
streets eating doughnuts before the9
grand jury convened in the morning.
! Nellie Lo Russell, negro, whose affi-
davit contradicts Mrs. Gibsons story,
was also in the gathering around the
doors Of the jury room. 1t is under
stood that she was there ut the re-
quest of the grand jury. Nellie was
burdened down with newspapers and
wide grin was spreading under her
brown and gold cloth hat as she lett
the jury room and fiounced out of the
courthouse after giving her testi-
mony.
Clifford Hayes and his father waited
