the hymn books, they cached their
passionate love letters.
Frivolous Mrs. Mills.
A few blocks away, in a cheap frame
tenement. in fiat on the second floor,
lived Mrs. Eleanor Mills with her hus-
band and two children, a half-grown
girl and a younger boy. The husband
was the janitor of the church, and
Mrs. Mills was the leading singer IN
the little choir.
She was a pretty. light, frivolous
woman, weary of her insignificant,
Intellectual little husband, rebellious at
her poverty and narrow way Of living,
avid for romance, ready to meet half
way the amorous parsons love
making.
few minutes ride on the broad
shaded street and we come to the
home Of Mrs. Hall, she who was
Frances Stevens and who Is accused
of having slain her husband and his
sweetheart. 1t Is a beautiful, stately,
colonial house Of red brick, set in the
midst Of large grounds, shaded with
fine old trees and with flowers grow
ing about it's doorstep. 1t is a house
as equally removed from the vulgar
display of the new rich as from the
squalor of the hovel of the poor. The
very stamp of Victorian respecta-
bility Is upon it.
A wolnan's home is so much part
Of her, II comes so inevitably to eX-
press her personality, that you can al
most construct her character frcm
the house she lives in as accurately as
Cuvier could reconstruct an animal
from a single bone.
Suffering and Strong.
Looking at Mrs. Halls house, I
could visualize her suffering and
being strong" as our Erandmothers
used TO say. I could see her sitting
behind her closed blinds enduring the
torments Of the damned as she faced
her folly in marrying a man much
younger than herself, q man who had
only married her because of her
money and social position, who had
not even pretended TO be faithful to
her, and who had put upon her the
unspeakable humiliation of having af-
fairs with servant girls that were the
kitchen gossip of all New Brunswick.
/ could see her in her drawing room
amidst the antique furniture that is
part of her family history, wearing a
smile that detied alike spying curl
osity and pity, while her heart was
torn with q thousand jealousies of
the young and pretty woman who had
taken her husband from her.
But l cannot visualize the woman
who lived her quiet orderly life in that
quiet orderly house as fleeing from it,
as she is accused of doing, mad for
revenge, and carrying with her the
X,-oo mons with which fo commit a
bloody murder.

the De Russey lane, on the outskirts
of New Brunswick. Four years ago,
at the time Of the Hall-Mills tragedy,
1t was a secret, wooded country road
with trees that met above 1t and It's
pathway was soft to the feet Of the
lovers who trod it. Today, the trees
have all been cut away for new
subdivision that is being opened up.
and 1t Is o raw cash of red Jersey
mud and stone that seems sar-
donically symbolic of the rocky road
that many have travelled since that
fatal night in September when they
parked their cars for petting parties
for the last time along what used to
be known as Lovers lane.
De Russey's lane led to the old
Phillips farm. which had been aban-
doned, and on which was a gray old
farmhouse. long untenanted. Close
about it grew up thicket. OF small
bushes, among them q crab-apple
tree. and under this crab-apple tree
a boy and girl, gathering goldenrod
on the morning Of September IL, 1922,
found the bodies of a man and a
woman who had been dead two days.
The man had been shot squarely
in the top Of tine head, and he lay
with one hand resting on the womans 8
shoulder and the other hand folded
across his breast. The woman had
been shot three times and her throat
had been Slashed
Scarf Covered Wound.
Across the wound her scarf had
been laid About the bodies Of the
murdered two were scattered the torn
up love letters that they had written
to each other. and propped against the
mans foot, in ghastly, ironic identi
fication, was his visiting card.
So died Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall
and Eleanor Mills, and who slew them
Is as much OF q mystery now as 1t
was four years ago, when the crime
was first discovered.
Were they killed by an outraged
wife, crazed with the wrongs that
had been committed against her. or
by a betrayed husband, avenging his
honor? Did some jealous lover Of the
pretty choir singer kill them, or some
woman. once loved and then scorned.
and deserted by the clergyman? Or
were they the victims OF q disordered
brain, that offered them up as a
sacrifice to family pride"
1t Is to answer these questions that
the ponderous machine Of justice has
been set in motion today in Somer-
vile.

Of MAMMOTH

MEXICO CITY, March 26.-The
skeleton OF a mammoth was dis
covered today at Lake Tescoco,
near Mexico City, by DR. III. A.
Monday an American physician, re-
siding here. The skeleton was UNI
der eight feet OF mud and silt.
DR.. Monday has the femur bone
of the mammoth In his office. The
bone, which weighs 40 pounds, Is
more than four feet long. At It's
smallest part the diameter IL six
inches. From the fact that the
femur was not connected by bone
growth with the upper cap, DIR.
Monday deduces that the animal
was not fully grown when It met
death.
He estimates the age Of the brute
at SO years, and says that although
young, it must have weighed at
least four times at much as the
largest living elephant.
The discovery is taken to bear
out the tradition handed down to
the Aztecs from the Toltecs, that

quered the land hunted the mann.
