Hal-MillS Inquiry Leads Back
 to Scene Of Crime

Somerville, N. J., Aug. R-In- yestigation of the murder Of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills centered today at the spot where their bodi,s were found.
 That was vouchsafod yesterday by State Senator Simpson. special dep uty attorney general directing the revived investigation into the four year. old Hall-Alills mystery.
 The crabapple tree under which the bodies of the rector and his pretty choir singer were found has vanished. It was whittled into bits and carried away by souvenir hunt CTS that flocked to the spot during the first investigation. Only slight, grass-grown depression marks the spot where it stood. The desterted Phillips farm house nearby now houses a cheerful family.
 Yesterday. drawn by reports of the renewed investigation, many motorists turned in Derussy's lane and stood in curious awe at the spot.
 I9ldIt tIOODtIS NIlO lIs'rb cNNi lAAN weekend are ready to begin exami- nation of more of the 50 witnesses. A fifth of that number was question ed last week. Where transcripts of previous testimony exists, compari- sons are made, but some of these transcripts have been reported miss ing and in some cases they were not made. One by one the old witnesses will be brought from nearby towns and villages to tell again what they know Of the events of the night of the murder and the days immedi- ately following the discovery of the bodies.
 Senator Simpson yesterday said Governor Moore had suggested that federal agents be used in solving the mystery. The suggestion was reject ed by Senator Simpson, who eX- pressed satisfaction with the work of the state troopers and Jersey city detectives.

DESPERATE FIGHT
 ID SAVE SLAY.ERS
Mass. Governor However, Re
 fuses to Intervene

Boston, Aug, Q Pl-As the hour of execution drew near for the three so-called carbarn slayers, hope for Q stay of electrocution based on re- ported willingness of a supreme court justice to hear a habeas cor pus petition today was balanced by the refusal of Governor Alvan T. Fuller to interfere despite a two- hour personal plea by the mothers of the condemned men.
 The men, John J. Mclaughlin, Edward J. Heinlein and John, J. Devereaux. convicted of murdering James Ferneau, aged watchman of Waltham carbarn. are under sen tence to die this week.
 Announcement of the new move to save the slayers was made by counsel for the condemned men and, it was understood, would be based on the alleged mental deficiency of DevereauX, admitted killer of the watchman. Alienists who examined the man at the order of the gov ernor reported that, while he pos sessed the intelligence of a 17-year- old boy, he was insane.
 Yesterday the three mothers made an eleventh hour trip to the sum- mer home of the governor al Rye Beach, N. H., where they made a frenZed but apparently futile ap- peal for intervention. Previously the governor had announced he could find no justification for refer ring the case to his executive coun- cii
 Tt was too narrowing for all con- cerned to discuss" he said in an- nouncing that the interview had brought mo change in the situa- tion." The three women were in q state Of collapse and could not pay their customary visit to their sons in the death house of the Charles town prison.
 Should Judge Braley grant the pe- tition for a hearing of the habeas corpus proceedings it would auto matically stay the executions and would bring the three prisoners into court.
 While. the law gives the warden discretionary authority to fix the time of execution, it was believed that the men would not be sent to the electric chair until Wednesday at midnight 10 allow them the bene- it of the last minute efforts that were being made in their behalf.
 The prisoners spent quiet day yesterday, dividing their time be- tween their relatives and spiritual adviser.

 Henry, said to be drunk. was put in jail here and Little" Bev was released on bond.
 The argument at the polls Satur- day was said to have come up when a man came to vote with "Old" Bev. In an argument over placing the ballots in the box. "Old" Bev was said to have cursed Arthur Sturgill, sheriff at the polls Beverley then was ordered to leave.
 When Sturgill left the polls Sat urday night, he was met and dis armed by "Old" Bev. Yesterday Sturgill and Banks were walking together when they saw "Old" Bev and Banks arrested him.
