Somerville, N. j., Sept. 1.-THE
four defendants indicted for the
murders four years ago of the Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and his choir
singer, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, pleaded
not guilty late today in supreme

The bail of Mrs. Frances Stevens
Hall, widow, who has been at liberty
in $4,000, was ordered increased to
$4,000 and she was released when
that was furnished.
Henry and Willie Stevens, her
brothers, and Henry De La B. Car
pender, her cousin, were remanded
to jail without bail.
Setting of the date for the hearing
of the trial of the accused was post
poned until after next Thursday,
when Special Prosecutor Alexander
Simpson will petition the supreme
court in Trenton for authority to
summons jury from another coun-
ty.
The state considered the status of
Mrs. Hall differing from that of the
other defendants, Mr. Simpson re-
vealed at the end of the hearing,
when the question of her bail was
brought up.
"The bail the lady gave ended
when the grand jury returned the in
dictments against her." the prose,
cutor told the court. "The state, how,
ever, has evidence not disclosed tc
the grand jury which places the lay IL
position different from that Of the
other defendants. l, therefore, sug
gest $4,000 on each indictment"

HAT NOT IN RING
SAYS MORRISON
Former Governor Says He is Not
Yet a Candidate for Senate
In 1882

oiihol GoNeInoF Cameron MOI
rison stated in Charlotte last week
that he expected to be candidate
for the senate in 1882, but he was
not now a candidate.
81 do hope to be a candidate for
the senate in 1882, but formal an
nouncement that | am a candidate is
very different matter" ne said.
"If l ever run l will certainly not
run on a platform which could be
written into law at Raleigh and not
at Washington.
"Many things can happen in six
years to change present expectations
81 expect to run and 4 am run
ming are very different statements.
| have not made the latter state
ment."
Announcement has been made that
Mr. Morrison would be a candidate
for the senate. A platform of state
progress and development was men
toned.
81 hope all this platform will be
enacted into law long. before six
years from now, but of course it will
have to be done at Raleigh and not
at Washington" he said. "The Uni
ted States senate would have nothing
to do with this platform.
In outlining the program he be-
lieved essential to the development
and future prosperity of North Caro-
lima, Mr.. Morrison mentioned eight
distinctive points. These he is urg-
ing in talks throughout the state and
spoke of at the road celebration at
Franklin They were:
/. That the state should do a
generous part in the establishment of
the Smoky Mountain National Park.
2. Additional bond issue of S40,-
100000 to complete the states
highway system.
3. Inland navigable waterways of
the eastern part Of the state should
be developed
4. A state owned and managed
system Of terminals and ports should
be established on the coast and at the
head of navigable waters.
5. A modern and up-to-date cul-
ture of seafood waterways of the east
should be inaugurated.
6. The agricultural department of
the state should be greatly enlarged.
7. Sectional federations for farm
mers should be organized throughout
the state.
8. Modern and up-to-date market
ing facilities for farm products other
than cotton and tobacco should be
provided
81 do not talk personal politics,
but of course | have been making
Democratic speeches as has been my
habit for years. l take pride in the
fact that I have made more Demo-
cratic speeches than any living man
and expect to continue making them
as long as | live, in or out of office"
he said.
