NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Nov.
4.-For three days have debated
with myself whether or not
should comment upon Mrs. Halls
cold assertions to the reporters
that she had never suspected any
thing between DR.. Hall and my
mother, that she was ignorant of
what had apparently been going
on, and that she still believed that
he loved her and was faithful to
her.
say debated with myself be-
cause there are some things that
even grief-stricken daughter
wishes to hide, and the little inti-
mate details that my mother told
me before she was murdered are
some of the things.
Tells Mothers Secrets.
But I have decided that this is
no time to consider my personal
feelings, or even the sacred mem
ory of the things my mother told
me from time to time. that ! must
not consider my heartaChes and
pain, but hare the little secrets Of
my heart, because Of the new light
that Il sheds and the good 1t may
eventually accomplish.
My former Sunday School teach

suspicious of my mother. Her sus.
picions, from my mothers personal
observations, dated as far back as
February.
There are many instances and
little acts that show Mrs. Hall was
suspicious and jealous. I shall give
few that my mother told me.
Before Mrs. Halls suspicious were
aroused, she and my mother were
the best of friends. Though in diff.
ferent social circles, they were inti-
mate, and Mrs. Hall frequently used
to take my mother to her personal
friends.
But some time before this terrible
tragedy Mrs. Hall suddenly became
cold and distant. My mother, at
that time, remarked on the changed
attitude, and l remember II dis.
tinctly.
On the day they went to Lake

home and told me that she had he.

down.
"Dr. Hall bent down over me
and asked how I felt" she said.
"Just then I happened to look at
Mrs. Hall and I was startled by the
angry look in her eyes"

Lieuts. John A. MacReady and

make a spectacular nonstop flight
