MOTT TO take FULL
CHARGE OF INVESTIGATION
Continued from page y
Request by Beekman

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 49,
The investigation into the killing of
the local minister and his choir
leader just over the line in Somerset
county some time ago passes into
the hands Of the state attorney gen.
erals representative today as a re-
suit of the request made by Prose-
cutor Azariah Beekman of Somerset
county to Supreme Court Justice
Parker.
Justice Parker placed the case in
the hands of Attorney General Nc
Cram and William A. Mott, former
assistant prosecutor of Essex coun-
ty. has been given the assignment
by the attorney general. A search
ing investigation will be made by
the new investigators.
This action seems to indicate that
there has been a break between
Prosecutors Beekman and Stricken.
The Somerset county prosecutor has
been conducting the investigation in
a conservative manner and it is be-
lieved that if the Middlesex county
prosecutor had had a free hand in
the case the calling of state assist
ance would not have been neces-
Sary.
Middlesex participants in the in
vestigation to date were confident
of an arrest being made last week
but Prosecutor Beekman was in
charge and his decision was that
there would be no arrest just yet.
Now that the state has charge it is
not known just when an arrest may
be expected.
Prosecutor Stricken does not know
where the new investigators will
make their headquarters or if his
assistance and that of his detectives
will be asked.
Mott was connected with the Es-
sex county prosecutors office for
eighteen years, part of the time as
assistant prosecutor and part as the
prosecutor. He resigned last May.
During his years of service in that
county he was active in solving many
murder cases and is well versed il
handling such mysteries. He was at
one time a police judge in Newark.
Assisting Mott will be James Ma
son, an Essex county detective, who
has been selected because of his rec
ord in ferreting out the guilty par
ties in such cases.
1t is also intimated in New Bruins
wick this morning that Ellis Par
ker, the Burlington county detective
who has made a name for himself
as the result of his remarkable ac-
complishments in solving complex
murder cases.. will be asked to as
| sist in the Hall-Mills mystery.
Mott was expected to arrive In
New Brunswick not later than to-
morrow to commence his prelinli-
nary survey of the case and hear
the evidence gathered thus far. 1t
seems likely that Detective Ferd A,
David will he called in to report on
the result of his work in the case.
Curious People Out
Phillips farm was visited by many
curious people yesterday and nearly
all of the apple tree near where the
two bodies were found has been
carried away. Local traffic officers
report that yesterday the traffic in
the direction of where the victims
Of the double murder were found
was the heaviest of any day since
the murder occurred.

ing at Miami, Fla, of the Western

American teachers should have the

to Senator-elect Woodbridge N. Fer

Asked by the United News his so

MILLER HIGGINS
| MAY LEAVE POST
By NEA Servtce

By NEA service
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Despite the
fact that Miller Higgins has been re-
appointed as manager Of the New
York Yankees, the impression pre-
walls that he will not be at the helm
when the 1928 season opens.
Unquestionably the job Is Higgins
IL he desires to accept it, but those
close to the mite manager say it
wouldn't surprise them If he stepped
down and out before the next cam.
paign.
Had Higgins won the worlds Sc
ries he probably would have retired.
Failure to win the series is one of
the things that caused Huggins to
again accept the management. The
leader of the Yankees has plenty of
money, but Is in poor health, and
managing a club like the Yankees is
far from being a health tonic.
Unless sweeping changes are made
In the personnel of the Yankees that
club is going to be harder than ever
TO manage next season. Higgins re-
allies this, and it may result in a
change of mind before the season
opens as to again leading the club.
The trouble with the Yankees has
been due to Babe Ruth being bigger
than the manager of the club. Ruth
practically did as he pleased, which
made 1t next to impossible for Hug
gins to enforce discipline among the
other members Of the club.
