Cold at Simpsons Taunts.

But she froze into hardness when
in his cross examination Senator
Simpson taunted her with her hus-
bands unfaithfulness to her and flay-
ed her with the impassioned phrases
that he had written another woman.
Didn't you suspect something.'
the little lawyer shouted at her.
when your husband was writing to
| anot her woman that she was the only
woman that he loved? That she was
the only woman in his life? That he
longed for her kisses-that he yearn-
ed to be with herr" And so on.
And no woman who loved man
can listen to a bitterer thing than
!, that.
Mrs. Halls story was to the effect
that she and Mr.. Hall had been mar
rted IL years at the time of his death.
that they had always been very
! ha ppy together, that she had believed
that he loved her as much as she did
him and that she had never had the
slightest suspicion Of his being untrue
| to her.
She said that she had taken a very
| active part in church work, trying
TO help her husband. and in that way
| had come in contact with Mrs. Mills,
| who sang in the choir and was one
| of the most energetic Of his parish.
| toner's. She had known that her hus-
| hand was with Mrs. Mills very often.
but had thought nothing OF 1t. that
Il was only the result of their having
a common interest in church work.
She herself had been SO friendly
with Mrs. Mills that when Mrs. Mills
was taken sick she had driven her in
her own automobile to the hospital
had gone to see her almost every day
and when she was recovered had
| taken her back home in her car.
Helped Pay Bills.
She had also contributed toward
helping to pay Mrs. Mills hospital
| bill.
coming down to the day of the
tragedy, Mrs Hall said that she had
spent the afternoon making preserves
in the kitchen and that when her
husband came home he brought his
little niece with him and they and
Mrs. Edwin Carpenter were all In the
kitchen together for q while. Then
came supper and she told him about
a telephone call from Mrs. Mills say
ing there was trouble about the hos
pital bill. which was still unpaid.
After supper there was another tele-
phone call and she took up the re-
ceiver to answer it, but hearing her
husband at the upstairs phone she
hung up and did not know who
called. Later on Ma Hall went out.

This was Friday morning, after the

you thought something had happened
to him, you never notified the police

Simpson Repeats Question.
"How long after all these investi
cations and talks did you notify the
police and give your name?"
Mrs. Hall explained that her attor
ney, former State Senator Florance
had notified the police Friday after
noon. Earlier she had told Of calling
the police without giving her name.
Time and again Simpson put the
same questions, "7Vhy did you let al
Friday, the day after your husband
failed to come home, go by without
having done more to learn where he
was?" and why. If you did not suspect
they were out together, did you tel

said, Can you tell why you put youl

dlesex authorities. They were absent
I feared some harm had come tt
them, 1 could think of nothing else'?'
Mrs. Hall smiled at the prosecutor
when he put the question again.
"The last person knew of his hav
ing seen was Mrs. Mills. He told me
he was going out to see her about hei
hospital bill. I went to the Mills
house to see If they knew where he
had gone, and learned that Mrs. Mills
also was missing

Didn't you hear that telephone con

"Why did you sit in the house al

phoning police and not giving your

YER in the afternoon and having hin
