SOMERVILLE, N. j., Nov. ga
motherly woman of sixty, with gray
hair and non-committal expression,
walked into the grand jury room in the
courthouse here to-day to add her
share of the testimony already given
in the Hall-Mills case.
No one paid particular attention to
her. There was someS excuse for this,
since her name had not figured In the
case, while sitting around waiting to
be called were some of the most inter
esting characters in the murder mys-
terry. After she had testified the tight
Tipped woman in brown, dangling a
huge black muff, slipped out as quietly
as she came in. She is Mrs. Holmes H.
Voorhees,, believed to be one of the
two mysterious witnesses whose iden-
tity has been carefully concealed by
the state.
Revives EARLY Murder Theory
Before sthe grand jury took an ad-
Journment this afternoon until Monday
it had heard twelve witnesses. Mrs.
voorhees, was the first to be called.
Her story, for whatever it may be
worth, puts a different complexion on
the crime and brings to the front one
of the original theories that Mrs.
Eleanor R. Mills and the Rev. Edward
w. Hall may have been killed at some
other point and their bodies conveyed
to the crabapple tree.
Mrs. Voorhees, does not look like an
imaginative type of woman. Her story
does not coincide in any way with that
of Mrs. Jane Gibson, but neither is it
irreconcilable with the now famous
Eyewitness" story. The authorities
when questioned merely said they were
content to present her before the grand
jury and let it go at that.
Heard Autoists Quarrel
Mrs. Voorhees, lives Oh Easton Ave
nue., half mile west of the Marconi
station and about two miles west of
De Russeys Lane. Her home is a two
story frame farm house standing about
100 feet back from the road. This is
the story she tells:
On the night of the murder two
automobiles coming from the direction
of New Brunswick halted on Easton
Avenue almost directly in front of her
house. She was going to bed at the
time and was on the second floor. AS
nearly as she can remember all this
occurred around 10 O'Clock. She looked
out, thinking there might have been a
collision, as the cars stopped What
she did see, however, according to her
story, was some people getting out of
the cars, the occupants of the first
car going back to the second. 1t was
dark and she could not tell the number
of people or whether they were men or
women until she heard angry voices
that came from the group at the second
car. Mrs. Voorhees, at this point is
supposed to have put her head out of
the window and to have caught two
phrases:
"What are you doing here?" and
what does this mean %
Two Shots Followed
The babel of voices waxed stronger.
Then she heard two shots, she says,
one right after another. She saw no
fash. The group broke up and the
lights Of both cars were turned out.
There was dash for the first car,

PARIS, Nov. % (By The Associated
Press 1.-The Supreme Council of Rus
sian Monarchists, representing all that
is left of the movement in favor of
the return of the Czardom in Russia,
has just completed five-day secret
session in Paris, during which Grand
Duke Nicholas, former commander in
chief of the Russian army, was elected
successor TO the throne Of the late
Czar Nicholas.
1t was also decided Immediately to
remove the headquarters of the Rus
sian monarchists' organization from
Berlin to Paris. In well-informed Rus
sian circles this is said to have been
done because of the growing strength
of the Bolshevists in Berlin and
rumors of their close connection with
the German government.
Sixty prominent Russians, including
Grand Dukes Cyril, Nicholas, Dimitri
and Alexander, attended the meeting.
Alexander Trepoff, who was ance
Premier under the cid regime, was

Five men had emerged from the

their presence. BY that time they had
us covered. Three of them carried
rifles. the other " reyolyers. One OF
these was Captain Magnus.
Advancing a step or two before the
others, he ordered us to throw up our
hands. Perhaps he g only the
men-but my hands and Aunt James
and Miss Hlgglesby-Browne's also
went up with celebrity. He grinned
into our a%stounded faces with a wolf

he inquired OF no one In particular.
Here, Slinker, help me truss EN- up"
The man addressed thrust his pistol
In his belt and came forward, and
with his help the hands OF the Scotch
man. Guthbert Fane and MFR. Tubbs
were securely tied. They were
searched for arms. and the sheath
knives which Mr.. Shaw and Cuthbert
carried at their belts were taken away.
The three prisoners we're then or
dered to seat themselves In a row
on the trunk OF a PROSTATE palm.
The whole thing had happened in
the strangest silence. Except for a
feeble moaning from Aunt Jane. like
the bleating OF a sheep. which broke
forth ut intervals. nobody spoke or
made a sound. The three rifiemen In
the background, standing like Images
with their weapons raised. looked like
a welI-trsined chorus in an opera.
And indeed II was ali extraordinary
ly like something on a stage. Stink
er. for instance. He had n providing,
sldelong fashion OF moving about, and
enormous yellow mustaches like a VI
king. And the burly fellow In the
background. with the black whiskers
too bad he'd forgotten his earrings.
But ! awoke to the herrld reality of
1t all as Captain Magnus, smiling his
woIish smile. turned and approached
me.
"Well. boys" he remarked TO his
followers, who had lowered their weap-
and were standing about al ease,

me under the chin.
