Her husband refused to talk
about the murder. He had given
one interview. Whenever the little
knot of questioners approached he
walked away and his wife came
forward and took up the fencing
with the reporters.
Conflicts Don't Count
Stevens whole attitude was that
he would talk about fishing or
anything else other than the Hall
Mills murder. Mrs. Stevens, how
ever, answered every question as
it was put, and the reporters
agreed that she was wonderful. "
Have you any comment to make
on the report that the stories of
your husbands witnesses con-
flicted?"
Mrs. Stevens smiled.
IF you will read your Bible you
will find many conflicting stories, /"
she parted quickly. yet, she
added, 1--WE all believe the Bible"
Kept Back Diary
Mrs. Stevens refused to show
the diary compiled by her husband.
IT don't think Mr.. Stevens would
like to have me do it," she said.
She insisted Stevens had kept
his diary for 20 years, a small
pocket diary.

Rev. Edward w. Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Mills were found.
Hart says he heard four shots
while at a point on the other side
of the Raritan River and about a
mile from the Phillips farm. His
statement probably will be taken
by the authorities, although it is
not considered important.
Down at Lavallette, n. j., Mrs.
Henry Stevens continued today TO
bear the brunt Of the questions
Of reporters.
1t was a gloomy day. The ocean
rolled soggily against the wet
beach. Dark clouds lowered. The
small fishing village seemed a desc
late enough place under Its burden
Of rain.
Awaited Arrest
The reporters were waiting there
quite frankly-for the arrest OF
her husband, expected at any time,
since the officials said his alibi
had been found faulty.
Yet Mrs. Stevens smile was
quite as sunny as II the day were
cloudless and there was no worry
or trouble at hand. Smiling. gra'
cious always, but keen as a whip
in her parties to their thrusts, she
J greeted the newspaper inquirers.

1t.
Or. Hall Liked ChiIdren
He loved children better than any
thing else in the world, i guess.
Once / heard him say. II wish 4

how to play with them. and he

mother Mills once to mothers
meeting, and while the older people
We talking In their room. Mr..
Hall picked me up and played
piggy back" with me all around
the parish house!
He was so kind; he would do
anything for anybody One time
there was church picnic at
Asbury Park and Mother took Dan
and me along. That Is, started
with the rest, but ran across e
couple Of girl friends and they
were going to A1lenhurst for q
ride in one of the boys cars. So
got off with them at Allenhurst
and didn't 60 to Asbury Park at
all. thinking we'd drive over later
and that nobody would miss us.
He Understood Young Folks
But mother found ! wasn't there
and got scared. Mr.. Hall started
right out to hunt for me. He.
looked all over,N up one street and
down the other. guess 1t took
him an hour or two. Well, as my
friends and were passing cor
ner, we saw him and waved. He
didn't say q thing then, but he
went back to Mother and said we
were all right, and perfectly safe,
and having fine time, and that
she mustn't worry. That's the kind
of man he was-not to scold US
and tell us to come and stay with
the others. He understood us and
knew we'd come hack all right, and
we did.
Another time, Dan sneaked off
on one of the picnics and went
away with some boys without ask
ing. Mother was frightened to
death when she missed him, and
off went Mr.. Hall. This time he
dragged Dan back. 1 suppose he
was afraid he might get into
trouble. But generally he just
quietly let us alone and took back
the news to mother that we were
all right. He would have done the
same for anybody, not alone mother.
Made Wonderful Daddy
Any one OF us kids in the Sunday
school would have died for Mr.. Hall.
If he asked US to do any little
thing, we jumped to do it, girls
and boys both. When / first got
to know him, I used to say to my
self, "Oh, what wonderful thing
it would be to have a daddy like
him. He was, just made to be
somebody's father!''
Tomorrow Charlotte Mills tells
how her mother turned to the
church for consolation i'm her life
OF drudgery. She relates how her
mother, even i'm her distressing
poverty, bought a picture as q
present for the Rev. Hall. She
tells, too, how, after a quarrel at
home, she and her mother slept
all night i'm Mr.. Halls study.

The quest for the brooch said to

was given him by County Detective

Underwood remarked:
This IS not the brooch that Ed

''Tierce says the brooch he found

Admittedly q Suspect
Upon the outcome OF the an

win hang the fate Of Stevens. who
is admittedly a suspect. If mis-

Should Stevens be arrested, he
probably viii be confined in Sonlcr-
vile jail with his brother. Willie
Stevens. and his cousin, Henry de

Upon the other hand, should his
abb be sustained, it il likely that

will be discontinued and that the

OF Arthur Apologize, OF Mantolkin,

Stevens witnesses, were noted as
follows by Senator Simpson:
Both men say they were fishing
with Stevens the night of the MUIR
der. Apologize said Stevens caught
a six-pound bluefish, and because of
the darkness Stevens weighed his
catch by the light of a lantern.
Eyer says that he was with
Stevens until 1920 p. m. and that
no fish was caught and weighed.
