Heard Mills Upbraid Wife
Mrs. Elsie Barnhart. Of Paterson,
N. j.. q sister Of Mrs. Mills, came
here tonight TO see her niece, Char
lotte, and another sister, Mrs. Whit
taker. Mrs. Barnhart told newspaper
men she had been present several times
when Mills upbraided his wife bitterly
for being so much in the company Of
DR.. Hall. She said the Rev. Mr.. Hall
had written a five-stanza poem which
he had dedicated to Mrs. Mills. This
is now in the possession Of Mrs. Barn
hart.
She said she had heard q number OF
instances Of displays Of affection be-
tween them. On one occasion, she said.
Hall and Mrs. Mills were walking to-
gether and Hall picked sweet pea in
a garden they were passing.
"See, I have become thief for you
Eleanor" he said, according to Mrs.
Barnhart.
The Victrola which is referred to in
his letters and diary is said by Mrs.
Barnhart to have been small portable
one belonging to the church.
''The Radiance of Your Eyes" and that
the Rev. Mr.. Hall heard her and asked
Mrs. Mills to sing it. She did SO, and
he liked it so much that he bought a
record of it, telling Mrs. Mills that it
was to remember her singing. Mrs.
Barnhart said that both Dr. Hall and
Mrs. Mills were interested in litera-
ture and music.
So far as Mrs. Barnhart could learn,
she said, the attachment had been
mostly spiritual one, and Mrs. Mills
physical love already; that is enough"
Glad He Shares Blame
"In one way ! am glad the Rev. Mr..
Halls letters were printed" she said,
because it shows that the blame was
not alone on Eleanor's side"
Evidence OF jealousy in the church
was also indicated by Mrs. Barnhart
as result of Mrs. Mills's singing.
It was suggested at one time that Mrs.
Mills be paid for her singing.
If ! can't praise God without pay
] will never sing again. Mrs. Barn
hart, said her sister replied. This, it
is thought, may have been taken as
an affront to those who were willing
to accept pay.
James Mills is not telling the truth
IT he says he never quarreled with
his wife over Mr.. Hail." she declared.

She remarked that Charlotte had
