the murder night. He is q brother
OF Willie Stevens and Mrs. Hall and
q cousin Of Carpenter.
When Justice Parker explained
the functions of the grand jury and
the difference between q principal
and an accessory, the Jurors were
escorted from the court room to the
regular jury room.
The first witness presented by
Prosecutor Simpson was Patrolman
Edward Garrigan, one OF the first
persons to arrive on the murder
scene.
Hidden Evidence limited
The dramatic audiences with
which the grand jury was sum.
moned came like a bombshell. Start
ling hidden evidence is expected to
be revealed when Simpson presents
his case to the jury.
The decision to place the evidence
before the retiring April panel took
the defense attorneys by surprise.
It had been expected the case
would be considered by the Septem-
Der jury which convenes next Tues
day.
Among the important witnesses
summoned to appear are Mrs. Jane
Gibson, so-ealled pig woman" who
told or her presence near the spot
where the murder was alleged to
have been committed and OF hear
ing shots and screams; Ralph ".
Gorsline, vestryman in the church
of which the slain man was pastor,
and Miss G atherine Rastall, choir
singer Of that church, who con-
fessed that they. too, had been near
the scene OF the crime on the fatal
night, and whose testimony cor
roborates Mrs. Gibson's story in
many important details.
It Is understood the call was
issued by Francis Bergen, prose
cutor OF Somerset county. Simpson
has charged that the foreman Of
this grand jury was hostile to him.
Will Be on Hand
IF Bergen thinks this will be a
better grand Jury than the Septem.
Der grand jury" said Simpson, "then
it is up to him. If the other % men
on the jury are fair will not hesitate
to present the Hall-Mills case to
them, regardless OF the attitude Of
the foreman.
ANY grand jury which would
throw this case down would be a
spectacle before God and man."
The term Of the April grand
jury will expire next Monday.
