Mr.. Hollis sal / relative to the debate
that each of the members of the team
was an undergraduate and that they
had a different method in general of
debate and different viewpoint pos

American colleges.
For instance" said he, I'VE prepare
our speeches without coordination be-
tween the members of the team, each
debator follows in general the lines OF
debate in parliament addressing him
self to the subject and seeking to in
f1uence the audience instead of trying
to perfect, as l understand is done in
this country, a coordnated argument.
I'VE address ourselves. therefore. to
the audience and to the merits of the
subject and not specifically to judges"
Mr. Hollis was asked about the
makeup of the Oxford Union. He said
that any graduate or undergraduate
could become a member, but that in

Letter of Mrs. Mills Gave De-
tails of Contemplated Trip to

for Successor-Other Clues
Support Theory

New Brunswick, y. j., Sept. 2o-
Several clues were found today by
detectives investigating the double
shooting of the Rev. Edward Wheel
er Hall, rector of the Church of st.
John the Evangelist and Mrs. James
Mills, wife OF the sexton, to support
the new theory that the couple in
tended to elope to the Orient.
The fate which the rector and the
leader of his choir shared. prosecu-
tors pointed out, might have been
fastened BY rumors which seemed to
have been circulated freely among
certain members Of the congregation
that the plans of the two to leave
New Brunswick had reached a stage
Of action.
All his papers and effects had been
placed in such order by the slain rec
tor, detectives said they learned, that
the work of the pastorate could be
undertaken by a successor with the
iNdsI pOSSiOlC HG UOOhS
Of the church and all funds, mission
and charitable work, We're left in
condition, it was said, that would
have enabled successor to easily
proceed with the rectors duties.
The first inkling received by the
authorities of an intended elopement
came when Prosecutor Strycker of
Middlesex, was informed that a rela-
tive of Mrs. Mills had a letter from
her in which she herself, told in de-
tail of her plans to elope to Japan
with Mr.. Hall.
Mr. Mills, who has been frequently
questioned by the detectives of both
NiddleseX and Somerset counties,
regarding all details of the case,
threw added light on the theory of
elopement, when he recounted the
conversation which he now says took
place between himself and Mrs. Hall
on Friday morning. Sept. Is, on the
steps of the church, after the two say
they had spent the night looking for
their mates. The dialogue follows:
rs anyone sick in your family? ?"
asked Mrs. Hall.
NO., replied Mills.
"My husband has not been home all
night"
Neither has my wife"
do you think they could have
elopedc" Mills asked
NO Mrs. Hall is said to have re-
piled. II think my husband has met
with foul play"
