HAYES AT HOME
AS RECTOR DIES
Attorney for Clifford Hayes Declares
That Perfect AIibi is Offered
for Him.

j (Py Associated Press Leased .wirel
Hagerty, counsel for Clifford Hayes,
the 19-year-old boy, held on charge
of numbering the Rev. Edward w. Hall
and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, an
nounced today he had proof that Hayes
was at home in bed at the hour when
Raymond Schneider, who is held as a
material witness, charges he committed
the crime. Schneider in signed state
ment declared Hayes shot the pair on
the deserted Phillips farm near here
about 1880 on the morning of Sept. Is,
thinking them Nicholas BANNER and
his 15-year-old step-daughter, Pearl
Bahmer. Hagerty said Hayes told him
and that his statement was confirmed
by the entire family that he returned
home at 12:45 and went Immediately
to bed
Many Confirm Statement.
The lawyer declared he was abso-
lutely convinced of Hayes innocence
That many of the residents of New
Brunswick share his belief has been
proven by two things in the last twelve
hours. A crowd Of about fifty men
early this morning attacked Frank P
Kirby, Middlesex county detective,
credited with having obtained the
Schneider statement on which Hayes
is held, bonn harding him with bricks
and threatening to tar and feather him.
He escaped by locking himself in the
Pennsylvania railroad station.
The other display of sentiment was
the announcement of plans of Stag
day" Saturday to raise a defense fund
for the prisoner. More than $50 per-
sons, it was stated, have volunteered
to sell tags.
Outstanding developments in the in
vestigation of the murder of DR.. Hall
and Mrs. Mills today included the ad-
mission by Prosecutor Beekman of
Somerset that he was making an effort
to determine the truth of Schneider's
statement, charging Hayes with the
murders; the arrest of Pearl BANNER.
10, who was with Schneider when the
two bodies we're found, as an incorrigi-
ole, ana OF Nicholas BANNER, her step
father, held on criminal charge pre-
ferred by the girl, and the intimation
by one of the chief Investigators that
Hayes arrest did not solve the mys-
tery-that in fact "we've just started
to work on the case"
The authorities today turned their
attention to investigating report that
a blood-stained basket which was seen
hear the bodies of the slain rector and
his choir leader. on the day they were
discovered had disappeared. Four per-
sons, it was said, had seen this basket
a few hundred feet from the bodies.
The basket which was made of wood,
was filed with rags and papers. Some
of the papers bore large splashes of
what appeared to be blood, it was said

SCOUTING TRAINS FOR LEADER
SHIP


Among other things, the Boy
Scout movement is one that trains
for leadership.
Statistics show that on the average,
only 8 to IL per cent Of the boys of
America ever graduate from High
school. Less than 2 per cent of all
the boys in the nation graduate from
college.
The percentage of men who are ed
ucated so as to become leaders in
citizenship is therefore comparatively
small.
This minority is being augmented
by the boys Of the land who have had
or are now receiving Scout train
ing. The training in community spirit
and the development of group con-
sciousness are making for leadership
in those who are not so fortunate as
to acquire more advanced education.
Ability to think in terms of the social
unit is going to make for excellent
citizenship on the part of the Boy
Scout, regardless of what opportuni-
ties he may have for academic train
ing.
AS matter of fact, such training
sometimes is more conclusive to real
patriotic leadership than a narrow
technical training which is receiving
In some institutions.
That Scouting is a valuable train

ced by the fact that Scouts make bet

have first learned to obey. RESPONSE
bility for leadership can came only
through discipline. This is one of
the valuable assets of the Scout move.

The boy who today works his way to
