Love Letters of Hall Read
Into Court Record Saturday

peace that nothing else brings" Il
am not wild nor fierce" said the writer
in another letter, but peaceful and
exalted "I want to feel the wonder
of the universe with you, hold you
close with my left hand and stroke
your dear face with my right" was one
sentence read to the jury.
"I am storing up health and strength
to be your gypsy king was a declara-
ton.
Once the writer said, Your letters
are a blessing to me- and Il am
lonely boy tonight, but I know there
are letters waiting for me-"
The day closed with the most heated
verbal exchange of turbulent trial
for counsel During the testimony of
Bogart T. Conllin, former sheriff of
Somerset county, who told of the po-
sition in which the slain bodies were
found, Alexander Simpson, special
prosecutor, pleaded surprise" at the
.os1 imony of the witness, declaring it
was not exactly in accordance with
testimony of the same witness at a
grand jury investigation in 1922.
During a discussion of the question,
Clarence e. Case of defense counsel,
was referred to as "boss" by Simp-
son. The Somerville lawyer in turn
spoke of Simpson as coming from a
county of bosses" The court finally
intervened. There must be no talk
Of bosses here" said Judge Charles w.
Parker, presiding.
The prosecutor had alluded during
the testimony of Miss Agnes w. Storer,
organist of the church, where Hall was
rector to witnesses who are not hos
tile, but certainly not friendly to the
state, since they are friends of one of
the defendants"
Miss Storer, who has been organist
of the church for more than 20 years,
testified that on Friday night after
Hall had left home Thursday night and
had failed to return, Mrs. Hall had
telephoned her that the minister would
not be at the choir rehearsal, as he
was "out of town"
The state elected the information
from the witness that she accompanied
Mrs. Hall to Italy as her guest after
the staying.
William j. Grealis told of spots" on
clothing of Willie Stevens carried by
the witness to a tailor the day after
the bodies were found. Another auto
mobile was located by w. S. Randall, a
rural mail carrier, near De Russey'
lane about midnight on the night OF
the slayings. He described it as a
Dodge sedan with lights out and cur
