Snow, which fell to a depth Of
three inches in western Kansas and
drifted in embankments large
enough to delay train schedules, fell
in lesser degrees in a half dozen
middle western States. Nearly every

Western Canada, source Of the

A heavy snow that covered west

Snow plows were used for the first

DISCOVERED
More Evidence Added to-
Back Up Story of Mrs.
Gibson in Hall Trial.
FINGER EXPERTS HEARD
Build Up Case Against Willie,
Widows Brother.

BIZ United Press
COURTROOM, SOMERVILLE, N.
j., Nov. Gone more bit OF evi-
dence was added today to the record
OF the Hall Mills case to support the
story Of Mrs. Jane Gibson, "the pig
woman" that she was on the Phil
and saw the murder of the Rev. Ed
ward Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills.
Edward Schwartz, a detective. tes-
titled that he examined the murder
scene and found "hoofprints." The
State will point to this as corrobora-
ton Of Mrs. Gibson's claim that she
was there the night Of the murder,
riding Jenny" her mule.
Aside from this bit of evidence the
entire morning was devoted to ex-
haustive studies In the technique Of
finger print experts. The jury heard
two experts tell how long such prints
could be preserved; the process Of
preservation, and the methods Of
reading the prints.
Important Evidence
The evidence, while 1t failed to
produce the thrills that some test;-
mony has given, was of the high
est Importance, for one of the main
points of the States case is based
upon the presence of finger prints Of
Willie Stevens on a card found on
the body Of the Rev. Edward Hall.
It was anpounced that DIR. Otto II.
Schultze of New York was prepared
to appear as an expert witness with
dummy mannequin, which was to
represent the corpse of Mrs. Eleanor
Mills, the murdered woman, and
demonstrate before the jury how she
was shot to death; how her throat
was cut, and perhaps he might testi.
fly that her tongue had been cut.
Schwartz, who is a finger print ex-
pert as well as a detective, was
grilled by Defense Attorney Nc
Carter.
"Have you ever been to De Rus
sey's Lane?" asked McCarter sud
denly.
YES" said Schwartz.
