New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 49,
Four hours after she had witnessed
the shooting of the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall and his choir leader
Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills on the
night Of September ID, Mrs. 4 Jane
Gibson, returned to the scene and
saw the woman she says was present
when the two were slain, bending
low over the body of the Rector
weeping bitterly. Neither the man
who Mrs. Gibson has told the au-
thorities shot DR.. Hall and Mrs.
Mills nor the automobile parked
nearby at the time of the murder
was in sight when she made the
second visit.
This and the statement that Mrs.
Mills escaped from her assailants
after the rector was killed and hid
behind bushes nearby, only to be re-
captured and dragged back to the
spot under the crabapple tree were
amazing details in the eyewitness
story as retold yesterday by Mrs.
Gibson to Special Deputy Attorney
General William A. Mott. "
Confident that he has solved the
murder, which he says is "complex
hut not a mvsterv." Prosecutor Mott
went ahead today with the work of
assembling corroborative evidence.
He indicated to newspaper men that
no arrests will be made until he has
presented the case to the Somerset
county grand jury. '-.

MOVE AGAINST TOWNS
(By the Associated Press)

I
London, Oct. %. Martial
law was proclaimed in Italy
to take effect at noon today
but the proclamation was re-
scinded, it is stated in dis
patches from the Stefani|
Agency in Rome, the semi
official Italian news organ
ization.
It is explained that the
withdrawal of the proclama-|
tion is the result of an inn
provement in the situation.
Special dispatches early
this morning told Of the be-
ginning of a concerted move
ment by the Fascist against
several towns. Florence, Piza,
Cremeno and other chief cen
ters were declared to have
been taken over by the Fas-
cisti forces, who deposed the
state authorities and assumed
command. Apparently, ac-
cording to these advices, there
was no resistance.
Communications in all parts
of the country are badly dis
organized and the news Of the
declaration Of marital law is
the first to reach here since
the movement started.
King Victor Emanuel is
known to have returned I'd
Rome last night with the in
tention of conferring today
with various political leaders
in an endeavor to form a new
cabinet to succeed the Facta
ministry, which was forced
out by the threats of the
Fascist.

that the citizens WILL remain cain
