TESTIMONY IS REVIEWED ROMANCE IS BLASTED 'Merchandise of Merit Only WEDDiG COTOCTI m . . . . m&, - v ' tip f ftlgJ Some Statements Made by Wife ol Slain Rector Disputed by Husband of Singer. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. X, Nov. !. A warrant has been prepared for service by the authorities investi gating the double murder of Rev. Edward Halland Mrs. Eleanor Mills, it was said tonight by a county official in close touch with the in vestigators. "The warrant has been prepared," the official said, "and will be signed whenever Mr. Mott says go.' " It was reported here tonight that Deputy Attorney-General Mott would return to New Brunswick to morrow. Authorities working on the in vestigation of the double slaying spent the day checking up discrep ancies said to exist between the statement given by Mrs. Hall to the county prosecutors and the answers in her interview with reporters yes terday. The point receiving the greatest attention, detectives asserted, was that in her statement to the officials Mrs. Hall said she returned to her home the morning following the murder at 2:30 o'clock after having sought her husband in vain at the church. A watchman at the New Jer sey state college for women told the police that he saw a woman en tering the Hall home at that hour. In the account of her movements on the night of the murders given to newspaper writers she said she did not reach her home until 3:30 o'clock. Mills Recalls Meeting. Looking up from work in a coal bin in the basement of the. school house where he is janitor, James Mills, whose wife Eleanor was mur dered with Rev. Mr. Hall on Septem ber 14, today took issue with some of the statements made yesterday by the clergyman's widow in an inter view. Mills said that he met Mrs. Hall at the church at 8:30 o'clock on th morning of September 15. Mrs. Hall said yesterday that she was at the church at 7 o clock. "'I know it could not have been earlier than 8:30," said Mills, ''be cause my children had gone to school. "The first thing Mrs. Hall asked me was, was anybody sick at your nouse last night." We then com mented on the fact that both my wife and her husband were missing, auu i saiu, mayDe tney nave eloped. " 'No,' was Mrs. Hall's reply. 'I think something has happened to them.' "At noon when Mrs. Hall came to my house I told her I had not heard anything and she said she had not either. Then she went away. She was incorrect in her statements in saying she did not come to my house again at 5:30 o'clock. She stayed only a minute. Xothlngr Wrong Suspected. "I saw Mrs. Hall aain at 7 o'clock in her home. I went there to ask her if she had any news. I stayed on the porch to talk. She did riot seem to take it as hard is I did. I had an idea that Dr. Hall and my wife had been together, but I did not think there was anything wrong. 1 don't know why I ever suggested an elopement." Commenting on Mrs. Hall's state ment that she was not vindictive and that she did not care to see anyone punished for the murder. Mills said: . "I am not vindictive, either, but I want to see thi murderer pun ished. I believe 't was a woman's deed. All these theories about black mail and robbery and things are rot. It was Jealousy, vnd I think her throat was cut in spite,' because of her beautiful B'ng'tig." "I never heard my gossip about my wife and Dr. Hall. If I had I would not have stood for it for a single minute. I am man enough not to have kept that job at the church if I thought there was any thing wrong between the minister and my wife. I would have gone to Mr. Hall and if he would not listen I would have gone to the bishop and to the vestry." Mills said he hai never heard oi his wife having trouble with any body and said he knew of no en emies that Dr. Hall might have had. "There was plenty of gossip among members of the choir though," he added. Pacific-Atlantic Photog. MRSi MARGARET CARLETOX A1VD REV. J. L.

TWO BEARS GET DRUNK Bruins "Pickled to Eyebrows" on Moonshine Mash EnteiCamp. TACUM4, Wash., Nov. 2. Two full-grown bears, "pickled to the eyebrows," entered the camp of the i-ugei sound Light & Power com pany at Lake Kirtley, Arthur New berry, manager of the camp, re ported here today. Mr. Newberry said the bears came into his cabin, rolled up at his feet, and refused to budge. "I gave one of the bears a good punch, but he only rolled over," he said. "I found his breath was strong enough to floor an inveterate drinker, and the truth flashed on me that the bears were intoxicate." Mr. Newberry and other men at the camp then set out to discover the bootlegger in the case. By following- the trail of the bears they came upon two barrels of mash in an advanced state of fermentation. The barrels were half buried in the ground and were undoubtedly the private booze stock of the bears. Flags of Home Town to Be Half masted in Honor of "Bishop of All Outdoors." WATERLOO, N.
