Announcements of secret hearing
at which Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall
will ask fd rcalcs on bail on writ of
haheas corpus and a declaration by
Governor 4. Harry Moore th9t a
special deputy attorney general
would be named to take full charge
Of the rcopcned IIall-Mills murder
investigation, was made here this
afternoon.
The hearing of Mrs. Hall will be
at 3 O clock this afternoon.
Arrest of new material witness,
isolation of Mrs. Jane Gibson, the
pig woman, whose testimony is
again desired, and assembling of
facts long buried in almost forgot
ten records, marked the vigorous re-
opening of the llall-MillS murder
case today.
Case Not Complete
"Wc intend to question more
prospective witnesses today, Pros
ecutor Bergen of Somerset county
told the United Press. THUS far
we have gone over the stories of
three persons who testified at the
first inquest. 1t may be safely
said that our course is not yet fully
determined and that we are hoping
for new light before we pronounce
our ease complete. -
William Phillips. who four years
ago at the original investigation
told of having seen Mrs. Francis
Stevens Hall enter her home late
on the night that her husband, the
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, and
Mrs. Eleanor Mills, were found muir
dcrcd. was under arrest today, held
in $1,000 bail as material witness.
Mrs. Hall remained III the county
iail on two charges of murder.
Mrs. Hall, at the original hear
ingS, had said she returned to her
homc mt 3:30 Il. M, the night her
husband WAS killed. Phillips tcsti-
Mony WAS that she returned at 2:lo
!. M, upsctting her alibi, but he was
dropped as II witness when mvestl'
cation developed that he had pre-
.iouslv been involved in a consplr-
acv to rob the Rockefeller institute,
Of which he was watchman.
When hearings on the murders
ended four years ago Mrs, Gibson
was left as discredited figure.
Witnesses had seemingly thrown
down her story of having seen Mrs.
Hall on the night of the killings, in
the field where the bodies of the
pastor and Mrs. Mills were later
sfound.

NEW HOLD-UP
BY 8 BANDITS

Shortly before the release yes
terday of two men held in connec-
ton with the series of holdups on
the Richmond road on Friday, three
bandits drove up to the Dome gaso-
line filling station, Sixteenth and
Taylor SITS. N. W., held up John
Keyser, manager, and escaped with
5000 in cash and rifle.
Keyser reported to the police that
he was just closing the place and
was in the act of removing the
days receipts from the register
when an automobile, bearing Vir-
ginia tags drove up and two men
got out, entered and held him up
at the point of pistols.
They looted the cash register,
took a small caliber rifle that was
kept to be used against robbers
and made their escape. A third
man waited in the car.
Because Of methods used and the
description furnished, police are in
clined to believe that they were the
same bandits who, early Friday
morning. held up managers of fill
ing stations in Triangle, Alexandria
and South Washington, all in Vir-
ginia, and also held up and robbed
a tourist just south of Alexandria.
John E. Histon, "a. COL X st. N.
E., and John l.. Bailey, 27, S27
Emerson ST. N. W., were arrested
in connection with the holdups but
released yesterday when they
proved their alibis to the police.
Histon had been identified by one
of the victims as one of the bandits
but is known not to have partici-
pated in the. affair.

for whom today is milestone in
their lives. Eager but tin1id, they
are enjoying the features of the

however, do not materially affect
the enrolment figures, since they
are offset by those who graduated
last June or who are not returning
to school.
'The actual influx of students,

the same number in the elementary

board OF admissions, sitting in the
Franklin School.
"Our crowding problems this year
were enhanced by the increased
growth OF real estate developments
during the summer, especially in
the Chevy Chase and Brightwood
sections. Many new homes were
going up during the spring and
the summer in these neighborhoods,
and we find that the majority Of
them are now tenanted. So this
means that these families will be
sending their children to schools
near by, which were not meant tc
accommodate such increased nun:
