Investigators Test Memory
of Events at Time of
Double Tragedy.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special bispHtCn w LIE star.
JERSEY CITY, August AFTER
several days of sensational rumors
and confusion over the warrants of
arrest which were issued but not
used. the machinery which State
Senator Simpson has been assembling
for his investigation of the four-year
old Hall Mills murder mystery seemed
to have settled down today to the com
paratively prosaic but much more sig
nificant task of carefully going over
the ground and checking up the
stories told in the first investigation,
four years ago.
Senator Simpson. who remained in
his Jersey City law office while Capt.
Patrick Hayes, chief of prosecutors
detectives in Hudson County. and In
spector Underwood of the Jersey
City police questioned witnesses in
Somerville. disclosed today that. with
the exception of trying to check up
on the story told by his mysterious
woman witness last Wednesday. the
detectives and State troopers under
his direction are devoting themselves
exclusively to requestioning the wit
nesses examined four years ago.
+, Difficulty Involved.
Because the original statements of
many questioned in the original in
vestigation are now missing. the de-
tectives face the added difficulty of
getting detailed accounts of events
four years old without any means
of checking present day recollectiOns
with the statements Of the same per-
son four years ago.
Despite these difficulties. Senator
Simpson said today that no orga nized
hunt for new evidence would be made
until the task of going over the old
evidence had been completed. He said
he did not mean, however. that If the
denomination Of witnesses questioned
four years ago developed new leads,
those leads would not be Immediately
run down, or that new clues or in
formation would not he promptly
checked up.
The police and State troopers would
merely concentrate now on going over
the old ground They should COM
plete this by the latter part of the
week. he thought.
Meanwhile. he said, Jersey City de-
tectives, under the personal direction
of Commissioner of Public Safety
Beggans of Jersey City. are still at
work on the story of the mysterious
