NO DECISION IN
ESSEX co. CASE

tested Primary Results and Will
Give Decision Later.

Justice w. H. Taylor, who was in
GuildhaIl last Saturday to hold hear
ling IN the Essex county contested pri-
maries, states that the testimony was
taken and the hearing is closed, but
that the decision has not been rem
dered as yet. 1t is expected the mat
ter win be settled this week.
The contestants were II. +. Aldrich
against Fred A. Brewer for Judge of
probate and Charles Il. Bishop against
Richard Beatty for sheriff. Messrs.
Powell of Island Pond and Graves Of
st. Johnsbury appeared for the con-
testants and Amey & Cameron of Is
land Pond appeared for the petition
ees. The action was brought under the
statute which allows a candidate at
the primaries TO contest the nomina
tion Of an opponent, on petition, be-
fore justice of the supreme court
or superior judge. The hearing
which was held last week before Judge
Stanley C. Wilson in Franklin coun-
ty court was under the same section
OF the statutes.
The contest IS over the type OF Dal-
lot prepared by the county clerk. The
ballots contained one column with the
names Of the certified Republican can
didates and the heading Republican
one column headed Democrat" with
no names printed under it, and one
other blank column with no heading.
This ballot was used all through the
county except in Brighton, and was
used there up until the last part of
the voting. Brewer and Beatty re-
ceived about 460 votes each through
out the county, but the contestants
concede them only one and three le-
gal votes respectively. They claim
that about so votes cast for them in
Brighton on the Republican column
torn from the ballot by the election
officials are the only legal votes in
the county with the exceptions noted.

was not contradicted that the con-
testants certified as candidates of the

lots on the torn ballot.

HAYES PLEADS
NOT GUILTY
To Charge Of Having Muir
dered Rev. E. w. Hall
and Mrs. Mills
is HELD WITHOUT
BAIL FOR GRAND JURY
Late Developments in New
Jersey Murder Case In
crease Mystery

Somerville. N. j., Oct 10 (By the
Associated Press Nineteen year-old
Clifford Hayes Of New Brunswick, to-
day pleaded not guilty Of numbering
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, and was held
by Justice Of the Peace SuIphin with
out bail for grand jury action.
Authorities who announced with a
show of confidence, upon Hayes ar
rest yesterday, that the Hall Mills
mystery had been solved. evinced less
satisfaction with their ease to-day.
One of the Investigators said anoth-
er lead was being worked upon which,
if verified, would change the entire
complexion Of the case This lead, he
added, pointed away from young
Hayes, and appeared to provide a mo-
tive that would explain the slashing
of Mrs, Mills throat after she had
been slain.
Raymond Schneider, upon whose ac-
cusation Hayes was arrested, still was
held to-day as material witness and
was being questioned from time to
time in an effort to clear up discrep-
ancies in his story as compared with
facts established from other sources.
Another discrepancy to which the
authorities were giving much atten-
tion was Schneider's statement that
Hayes did the shooting at about
o'clock on the morning of Sept. Is. A
half dozen other witnesses have agreed
in fixing the time at which they heard
screams and shots as between l0:30
and II o'clock on the night of the l4th.
When Prosecutor Azariah N. Beck
man of Somerset was asked by news
If he had eliminated all
other persons from further considera
tion in the case, he slid:
"0h, no, we have not. We are
checking up the field, following up ev-
cry lead we have. Things are begin
ming to look significant"
Asked IL he had anything bearing
On the cutting Of Mrs. Mills throat,
he said:

he did not propose ito show our hand.
County Detective Totem Of Somer
set said he and the prosecutor were
yoing to New Brunswick this after
noon and that they expected ito talk
10 the Hall and Mills people again
We are just beginning to work on
his case," he added Then he queried.
"What would Hall and Mrs. Mills
rave been doing on the Phillips farm
It O'Clock, as Schneider says they
veref"
''Do you mean your investigation

atisfied with Schneider's account of |
