fficial investigators bungled their :
york in unbelievable fashion.
II am informed that this mex.
.uSable bungling may not have
been due to gross ignorance only.
but that other factors were at
work.. do not want to believe
hat anything can influence the
curse OF justice in the state OF
sew Jersey. but | am confronted
18th the glaring fact that my

Justice.
"I do not seek the blood OF any
nne in return for the blood OF my
mother. ] seek nothing bat simple
Justice to avenge this most horrible
rhine.
"The papers report Prosecutor
Mott az saving, and ] have every
reason to believe IL is true, that he
has sufficient evidence to accuse GER
tain persons OF the murder. why
has nothing been done?
II appeal to you. the chief eXecu'
tive OF a great State, to act person.
allv in nv demand for the arrest OF
the guilty persons who killed my
mother. There has been enough
talk about the crime. but not enough
of action. My mothers blood cries
Dut from her grave against this in

othing been done toward arresting

Willing to Face Mrs. Hall.
Mrs. Jane Gibson. eyewitness OF
he murder. today hurled this defy
at Mrs. Hall:
II am willing 10 confront Mrs.
| Hall face to face. ! am Wiling
10 challenge her to deny my charge
that she Witnessed the murders OF
the Rev. Edward w. Hall and Mrs.
! Eleanor r. Mills on the night of
September Il. will defy her to
deny that she was back at the
Phillips farm at l o'clock in the
morning sobbing over the bodies"
Mrs. Gibson made this statement
as a sequel to one by Mrs. Hall. wno
denied that she was at the Philips
farm on the night Of the murders.
Mrs. Gibson has made startling
sworn statements that she saw Mrs.
Hall, accompa pied by the slayer,
man with "bushy hair" at the MUIR
der scene. Mrs. Gibson added:
IT have already been threatened
in a letter with a bullet. and | do
not want to receive any more such
threats. An effort has been made 10
buy my silence.
II will tell the truth what ever the
cost to my personal safety. l do not
care how powerful is the influence
which is against me. My stCry will
stand investigation, no matter how
hard my decryers try to denounce
1t. Judge Mott has told you my
story is entirely creditab'e.
II know that the blood Of the
Judas runs through modern veins
That Is my answer to neighbours who
decry me and say am an imagin.
ative liar. They have the cross all
fixed for me, and they think they
have me tied to it-but they haven't
got the hammer and they haven't
got nails and they can't nail me to
the cross.
1T will stand by what told the

Says Son VIII Bear Her Out.
Perhaps, II I had been pressed,
, would not have withheld the details
OF the second trip, but the prosecu'

those who say lie. my answer is
: that my son will bear me out as to
my having left the house the second
time.
