getting information. During an ar gument between Case and Simpson as to the admissibility of a ques- tion, Simpson charged that Mrs. Hall hired Di Martini not to solve the murder but to find out what people were saying.
 No Movies Allowed
 During the luncheon recess a ma- chine for showing still pictures of the scene of the crime was set up in the courtroom and in readiness for use at the afternoon session. Justice Parker ordered it removed.
 "The court understands. he an- nounced at the opening of the after noon session, that the defense ob- jccts to the use of this projecting machine and it will therefore be removed"
 Evidence Suppressed
 Witnesses were put forward by the state this afternoon to attempt to prove that Felix Di Martini, deteo- tive once employed by Mrs. Hall, tried to suppress evidence in the case.
 Mrs. Mary Demarest of New Brunswick, who earlier in the trial had testified that she saw Henry Stevens in New Brunswick the morn ing after the staying, recalled, she said that four years ago Di Martini had offered her S2,50O or a little more," if she would keep her mouth shut.
 Ordered Sleuth Out
 The witness said she ordered the detective out of the house after she had told him that she wanted none of Dr. Halls blool money On cross examination the defense brought out from the witness a state ment that she i'd not know Di Mar tini's name, until he had made his offer, and been ordered from the house, when he told her who he was.
 Peter Sommer, who testified that he was employed by Di Martini. said that he was instructed to visit cigar stores and pool rooms in New Bruns- wick to get information, including names and addresses if possible of persons who were saying offensive things about Mrs. Hall.
 This testimony admitted over ob- pection of the defense, continued. the witness saying that he was told to get job at a motor car company where Freddie" Heinhardt and "a man named Gibson" were employed. It was brought out that Reinhardt was brother of Mrs. Mills and Gibson or Easton," husband of Mrs. Jane Gibson. Sommer said that he was to get any information he could from Gibson to break down the story of Mrs. Jane Gibson of having been an eyewitness of the killing. .t
 Unfolding Romance
 The romance that paved the way to death for the Rev. Edward w. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, choir singer in his church, is being re- vealed chapter by chapter between [ dull stretches of testimony by un- dertakers. fingerprint experts and |. love letters which the 1 couple wrote to each other have :. added an incongruous note to the i trial with their poetic phrases and | ardent avowals of love. Gruesome | in court of the wounds, which caused the lovers deaths have f followed fast upon the introduction | of the letters and the reading of ! their f1ord phrases. A prayer which i the minister wrote for the choir | singer, when she went 10 a hospital | for an operation, caused squabble 1 between attorneys.
 The couples romance, which once | was only the subject of tittering and i, gossip by women who founded their ! talk on suspicion, now is being re- , vealed in all its intimacy, while ! spectators in a crowded court room | strain eagerly to catch every word. | Even their secret trysting place, on | what was then a deserted farm on the outskirts of New Brunswick, has become the center of extensive real i estate developments.
 Full of Honcyed Words
 The love letters of Mrs. Mills to | he clergyman, read yesterday after noon, lacked the fire and fluency hat marked his letters to her, but they were crammed with honeyed | words and phrases of cndearment.
 My dreams are as big as the world" she wrote in one letter while he, in one of his letters introduced l
