NO BILL RETURNED IN
NEW JERSEY MURDER CASE
Foreman Gibbs In a Statement De-
clares the Matter Has Been
Laid Over.

Somerville, n. J.@'For reasons
which seem to them sufficient and
controlling the grand jury took no
action in the Hall-Mills murder case
and laid the matter over. This does
not mean necessarily that the matter
cannot be taken up again by this or a
subsequent grand jury"
With these words Foreman Gibbs, of
the Somerset grand jury, made known
the fact that no indictment had been
returned in one of the most myster-
ious murder dramas that has faced the
country in many years.
For five days Special Deputy At
torney General Mott had been pre-
senting evidence to bolster his theory
as to who killed Rev. Edward Wheel.
er Hall and his choir singer, Mrs
Eleanor r. Mills, on the Phillips farm
the night of September Ia. To-day
a day replete with dramatic prose
cutor presented his star witness and
then settled back to await the jury's
decision.
Outside the jury room someone else
was waiting the decision. 1t was Mrs.
Frances Noel Hall, the rector's widow,
who had rushed to the courtroom in
the hope of appearing before the
grand jury and who had not been
granted access. She received her first
word of the jury's decision from a
member OF that body.
MI. Mott, appointed to direct the in
vestigation because of criticism of the
manner In which it had been handled
in the early stages, pinned his hopes
to the story told him by Mrs. Jane
Gibson, the quaint character who had
appeared in the mystery drama under
the caption of pig woman" Her story
was that she had stumbled on the
double shooting while pursuing, on
muleback, thieves who had been rob-
bling her corn fields.
Foreman Gibbs declined to enlarge
upon his formal statement and Mr..
Mott also maintained strict silence,
so that some doubt remained in the
minds of the newspaper men as to
whether the jury actually had ballot
ed as reported or had tacitly agreed
not to consider the case further.
