 CAUSE OF ARRESTS
(Continued from First Page)
WilIie Gets Excited


 Carpenter, bareheaded and nat tily dressed, was nervous but con- tained. Stevens, wearing heavy lensed spectacles and chewing his mustache, was disconcerted by his own hands, and finally sat on them. He nearly collapsed later when taken to jail, after commit ment by Judge Cleary.
 They learned that, although two warrants had been issued against each of them, charging them with both murders, only one each had been served, charging Carpenter with the murder of Mrs. Mills and Stevens with that of Dr. Hall.
 One other person, William Phillips, formerly a night watch man, has been arrested in the case as d material witness and is free in $2,500 bail.

Dickman, former New Jersey state trooper, now serving a term in the United States disciplinary barracks on Alcatraz island, San Francisco bay, has admitted that he had ac- cepted money to disappear during Investigation of the Hall-Mills murder in New Jersey.
 "Of course, I took money to shut up and get out" the news paper quotes Dickman as having said. "If I hadn't. why would l have left there with two months pay as a state trooper still owing me?"
 The prisoner also declared that a former maid in the Hall home has not told many important de- tails known both to her and to Dickman.
 Dickman's knowledge of the case is considered so important the negotiations already have been completed to return him to New Jersey, the Chronicle said it learn ed from reliable authority.

ENTHUSIASM ON
 EXCHANGE COOL
Confidence Is But Partly Re.
 stored This Afternoon

New York, Aug. Is Pl-Bullish enthusiasm for high priced indus trials and specialties was chilled by the unexpected increase in the New York federal reserve rediscount rate. with the result that stock prices broke sharply soon after the opening of today's stock market and then made irregular recovery on the | appearance of strong investment demand for high-grade rails Spec ulative fears that the higher bank rate would lead to a restriction of credit for market operations led to rather heavy selling for both &C., counts, early declines of one 10 ten points being scattered over a rather wide list.
 Confidence was partially restored, however, when another strong buy ing movement developed in Atchison common. which crossed 149 to record high for all time and nearly four points above last nights close. Nervousness characterized the i trading in the industrials and spe- cialties, although United States Cast Iron Pipe lost by the end of the third hour and recoveries of two to four points from the low levels took place in a number of other issues. The good news on General Motors, which announced the distribution of a 50 per cent stock dividend to it's stockholders yesterday, appears to have been discounted by the recent advance of that stock, as it opened 1 F points lower, extending it's loss to seven points by touching 197, and then lowered around the 200 mark
 Wall Street Opening
 New York, Aug. 1s (El-Heavv H. quidation inspired by the unexpect- ed increase in the New York fed eral reserve rediscount rate, and the traditional selling on the good news" following the announcement of the 50 per cent stock dividend on General Motors imparted a decided ly reactionary tone to prices at the opening of today's stock market. General Motors opened a point low Cl at GO- s2s DupOllI DlONt Ie points and net declines of a point or two were recorded in the first few minutes of trading by |. S. Steel common, American Can, Am erican Smelling, Hudson Motors and Baldwin Locomotive.
 While Wall street generally was of the opinion that the higher re- discount rate here was not aimed primarily at stock speculation but merely reflected the expanding de- mand for funds in connection with increased industrial activity and heavy crop movements, trading in the stock market was of nervous character.
 Foreign exchanges opened ir- regular, with French francs show ing indications of having received good overnight support.
 The severe collapse in prices of some of the speculative favorites, central motors going down to 195% and Du Pont 2S7, broke down the resistane which the standard rail- roads hal exhibited for a time. At lantic Coast Line, Reading, Southern Railway, Canadian Pacific, Norfolk and western and Chesapeake and Ohio were supplied freely at sharp Short covering and scale buying caused a gradual up- turn before midday.

Tortured, Mills Says

New York, Aug. 13 (P - James Mills, sexton husband of the choir singer who was slain four years ago in New Brunswick, N. J., with the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, has revealed that he was tortured six months after the murder in an effort to get a confession of the murder from him, the New York American says today.
 'I do not think it was the police who kidnapped me, smuggled me into New York, and somewhere on Long Island, and tortured me in an effort to pin the killing on me, he is quoted as saying.
 "One of the first things they did was to take my finger prints, al- though those had been taken dur ing the first investigation after the murder. They questioned me all night and tortured me. When l got home I was sick from their treat ment."
 Believes in Wife Net
 Mills said his Kidnapping took place in February, 1923, shortly before Mrs. Hall sailed for Europe, but he did not believe she had any thing to do with it.
 Mills is also quoted as saying, "I don't think my wife did any thing wrong with the rector"

 But let a prisoner lie to me and he will be punished: if he tells the truth, I am lenient with him." declared warden Hadsell, who says that nearly seventy-five per cent of charged prisoners have gone straight"
