NEW BRUNSWICK, y. j., Ser
z4.-(By A. P)-The authorities Of
two counties tonight admitted that
every clue concerning the double
murder of the Rev. Edward w.
Hall. rector of the church OF ST.
John the Evangelist, and Mrs. Elc-
amor Mills, the wife OF the church
sexton, whose bodies were found un
der an apple tree a week ago Sat
urday. has carried them into moth
ing more than a labyrinth Of theor-
les. leading nowhere.
A feag that the drama that pre-
ceded the death of the rector and
the sections wife. would never be
recounted seemed evident IN the
minds Of the detectives on the case
tonight
Mrs Hall. the widow OF the muir
dered rector. has been tacitly abb
solved of connection with the crime,
Questioning by detectives has re.
suited in an explanation satisfact tory
to them OF Mrs. Halls time from
Wednesday, the day before the dou-
bic murder is believed 10 have been
committed, until Saturday when tie
bodies were found.
Not one person as yet thrown into

Mrs. Hall, returned here today aft
er week spent in New York where
he said. he was packing for a tr!Q
TO Europe. Officials Of neither OF
the two counties prosecuting the
case have concerned themselves
with him, because C the fact tina
he was in Lavallette. y. J., on the
night of the double murders.
Despite the strict secrecy which
Pros. Stricken OF Middlesex county
and Pros. A. II. BeelSnlan Of SOM
erset county have thrown about
their operations, the belief is pre-
valent that they are at the end OF
the numerous clues advanced upon
the discovery Of the bodies. They
have gone over the lives OF both
Mrs Mills and the Rev. Hall, in
the finest detail. They have tracked
down theories and supposiions, and
all TO no avail. The remote pOSsici'
lity that some one may confess the
crime Ia the only hope that is COM
mon tonight.
