Defies Persons Who Would
Lay Murder at His Door

ROCKVILLE, Md. July IS. A re-
lentless search for the murderer of
Edward J.. Mills, as years old, pros
porous Hunting Hill dairyman. who
was shot to death near his home at
dawn, July Z. was pledged by Rev. II.
II. Nicoll. pastor of Travilah Baptist
Church, in his sermon which dealt
largely with the Mills murder case
Yesterday morning. Defying persons
who he said had plotted to lay
suspicion in the murder at his door,
Rev. Nicoll said that inasmuch as the
widow of the murdered man was A
member of his flock he did not
intend TO rest until the murderer had
been brought to justice.
Convinced that his admonition
would result in some of his parishion
ers. who may have shielded informa-
ton for fear of retaliations, Opening
up" Rev. Nicoll left the Travilah
district today TO attend a Baptist as
sembly at Braddock Heights.
Wants All Facts Told.
"You may fear to give informatio
in the Mills murder case because you
think that your barns may he
burned" Rev. Nicoll told his flock,
but I want to tell you it is better
that your barns be burned than you
burn in the hereafter. In the name of
law and order / command you all to
tell everything you know"
Following the sermon former
Deputy Sheriff J. Stanley Gingell and
two Montgomery County officers ques-
toned members of the Travilah Bap-
fist Church in the murder case.
The authorities began their twelfth
day of investiga ton on the theory
that a liquor deal was at the bottom
of the murder
While no information has been I'M
covered which tends to sustain the
validity Of the sensational "confes.
sion" pinned to the dead mans
coat, it Is generally admitted that the
late MIR. Mills was involved in liquor
transactions.
Detective on Trip.
Raymond Kennedy, the Baltimore
detective, who has taken an active
part in the investigation since the
retirement of Lieut.. James Manning
of the Baltimore force, left for Balti-
