PASTORS WIFE
ARRESTED ON
MURDER COUNT
Investigation of Double Kill
ing. Dropped Four Years
Ago, Renewed

Somerville, N. J., July 20.-LP)-
Mrs. Edward Wheeler Hall, widow OF
the slain rector Of st. Johns Epis-
copal church in New Brunswick, was
in the county Jail today held with
out bail, accused Of the murder four
years ago Of her husband and Mrs.
Eleanor Mills, wife of the church
sexton and singer in the choir.
Mrs. Hall was arrested late last
night at her home. She branded her
arrested as ridiculous" but would
say nothing more. Her attorney re-
fused to talk. Nothing was forth
coming from the authorities to ex-
plain what new evidence in the mys-
terry had brought about the arrest.
Two Warrants Issued
Two warrants. charging separately
the murder Of Mr.. Hall and his pref
ty young woman companion. were
sworn out yesterday. Investigation
of the case, abandoned nearly four!
years ago, was renewed several
weeks ago because Of an annuiment
suit filed by Arthur s. Riehl.
Riehl charged that his wife, form
erly Louise Giest, who had been q
maid in the Hall household, had de-
ceived him as to her past relation
ships with Mr.. Hall before he mar
ried her in 1924. In an unsworn
statement Riehl said his wife had
received $4,000 for silence in con-
nectiOn with the murder.
The bodies Of Mr.. Hall and Mrs
Mills were found September l8, 1922
in an abandoned orchard near New
Brunswick. They had been shot
with a pistol and their clothes neat
" arranged as they lay side by side,
Love Letters Published
A nearby vacant house was found
to be completely furnished and show
ed signs Of recent use. Love letters
of the dead pair we're found and
published. Acquaintances declared
that Mr.. Hall and Mrs. Mills CON
templated clipping to Japan. Indi.
cations were they had been in en-
brace when shot. Authorities In.
vestiRated one theory that they had
been killed by a jealous woman.
This theory was strengthened upon
exhumation of the bodies when il
was found that Mrs. Mills throat had
been cut, she had been shot three
times in contrast with one shot Tor
the clergy, and her face had been
scratched. II was recalled that his
eyes had been closed, while Mrs
Mills had not.
Mrs. Jane Gibson, q farmers wife,
said she had seen Mrs. Hall and
man quarrel with Mr.. Hall and Mrs.
Mills on the night Of the murder and
that she saw the staying. Mrs. A. G.
Fraley, living with her daughter IN
. nearby farm house., corroborated
parts Of Mrs. Gibson's.. story. Her
brother, Henry Stevens. Htmed as
the man with her, claimed an alibi.
The grand jury examined 80 witness
es and, despite the stories OF Mrs.
Gibson and Mrs. Fraley, took no &C.
ton.
