Hagen, as cool as the original poker

The razor was offered in evil

The witness said he could not tell
whether the scratch was a fresh

contention that a struggle preceded
the fatal shooting of the Rev. Mr..

Maggie was accompanying Alfred

appear.

Case sarcastically.
Marriage Certificates
Since she is not here" said
Simpson, "I'll introduce the mar
riage certificates of Mrs. Hall and
Mr.. Hall"
The certificate showed that the
couple were married in July, 1911.
and that the groom was thirty years
old. The age OF the bride was not
given, but her birthplace was given
as Aiken, S. c., and her fathers
name was Francis K. Stevens.
Mrs. Hall showed no response to
this reminder Of her wedding day.
S3rd Witness Called
Frank Caprio. private detective OF
Long Branch was the eighty-third
witness.
He testified that he had been en-
ployed by the late Azariah Beck
man, prosecutor of Somerset county,
and had watched the Hall home for
three weeks beginning September
"a, 1922.
Two days after the grand jury in
November 1922, had failed to return
indictments, he visited Beekman in
his office
Simpson produced the razor
which was first introduced during
the questioning Of medical experts
as the knife with which Mrs. Halls
throat may have been cut.

Underwood was drawing his regular
pay as a member of the Jersey City
police force.
When Simpson asked a question
intended to bring out a statement by
the witness as to who was respon-
sible for the revived investigation on
the four year old murders, Judge

there was no need of having Under

then called to testify concerning the
bullet wounds In the heads of the
Rev. Mr.. Hall and Mrs. Mills. He
brought along his satchel as though
to give actual demonstrations before
the jury. Goddard's partner, Charles
Waite, was to have testified for the
state at this phase Of its case, but he
died last Sunday.
The defense accepted Goddard as
an expert without question but there
was a clash when Simpson attempt

bullets taken from the head of Mrs.
Mills.
"In defense OF the innocent peo-
ple.' said Simpson, pointing to Mrs.
Hall and her two brothers. their
counsel objects to Introduction of
