NEW BRUNSWICK. Sept. CA
second autopsy held on the body OF
Mrs. Eleanor Mills, found murdered
with the Rev. Mr.. Z. w. Hall. Sept.
16, was performed to-day and showed
that not only had she been shot three
times in the head but that an at
tempt had been made to cut off her
head. The report that her ankle was
broken and that the flesh Of her arms
had been scored with finger nail
gouges was proved untrue.
A study of the autopsy report gave
the prosecutors to-day grounds for
believing that Mrs. Mills and the
rector were standing in a close en-
brace when he was shot from behind,
the bullet passing through the back
OF his head and coming otu of his eye
sc that it made a punctured wound
on her upper lip. Mrs. Mills was
perceptibly taller than Mr. Hall.
An even more imaginative explana-
tion was that looking over his shoulder
she saw the murderer. pistol in hand.
behind Mr.. Mills and in terror pressed
her face against his just as the shot
was fired. and that she was shot twice
on the side of the head while holding
him up and in the middle of the fore
head after they both fell to the ground.
The autopsy was performed by DR.
Runkel Hageman OF Somerville, rep

The complete victory of Mrs. still
man over her Husband brings 10 a
close probably the most bitter hght
between husbsad and wife in the his
tory Of New York courts. The decl-
. sion is sweeping and clear. The web
of evidence in which Stillman sought
to enmesh his wife has been swept
completely into the discard, and not
. shadow is left upon her reputation
As wife and mother. but to the con.
trary, reacts upon the banker him
self.
Referee Gleason devotes the great.
or part CT his reasoning to the ques-
tion of the legiumacy Of ba g..
which he says has been established
beyond a reasonable do BIT. The mis-
eonduct Of the plaintiff he also finds
precludes him from any rellet in The
action. while on the other hand the
defendant had offered proof to estab-
liSl1 the falsity Of the charges that had
been brought against her.
The referee said Sullman's tesu-
mony In support Of his charges that
Mrs. Stllman misconducted herself
with Fred Beauvais. "uncontradicted
