In his" eulogy to the children's
fa-rcatc, Mr. Stone said:
I "Tuning his lute to humanity's
burden of care and grief, he sang
the song of the helpless. He was
Sbly the poet of sympathy. He
Was b many sided character. He
had a profound religious, even
spiritual nature. The Puritan
strain of his ancestry frequently
cropped out in his daily life. Tet,
over all there spread the warm,
mellow rays of human sympathy
which prompted some of the
sweetest and most pathetic verse,
of 6ur language. He sounded all
the depths of tender emotion and
voiced the agonized cry of be
reaved motherhood and sister
hood and childhood, with the tone
and timbre and temo of a mas
ter." I
The monument depicts a brood
ing angel bending over two sleep
ing children, dropping the flowers
of poetry upon them.

uctance of women to serve on a jury in a murder trial delayed
selection of a panef to hear the case of Philip Warren, Grande

In the first list of those called, for jury, service were 40

Clifford Hayes, 1 9, Accused
of Murdering Rector
and Mrs. Mills
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct.
9. (By The Associated Press. )
Clifford Bayes, a youth pf 19,
was held incommunicado in the
Sumerset county jail at Somervillo
tonight on a warrant charging him
with first degree murder of the
Reverend Edward Wheeler Hall
and Mrs. Eleanor Relnhardt Mills
on September 14.
But if the authorities who
caused h!a arrest have any evi
dence which would show a logical
motive for his alleged act, they
have carefully withheld it. ;
Motive Is Vague
The explanation of Rayond
Schneider, . 22, whose accusation
caused Hayes' arrest, was that of
a case of mistaken Identity. Hayes
he said, thought he was shooting
1 o-year-old Pearl Bahmer and
her stepfather, Nicholas Bahmer.
The only motive he advanced
for the rpckles8 crime was a sort
of quixotism on Hayes part-r-a
desire to right a supposed wrong
done a friend, Schneider, who, al
though married, admits he is In
love with Pearl.
Hayes' retort was that Schneld
er was a "damned liar." He ad
nutted going with Schneider to
the deserted Phillips farm, where'
the bodies were found, in search
of Pearl and her stepfather.
Shots and Screams Heard 1
They heard shots and scream
ing, he said and ran toward the
crabapple tree whence the, shots
seemed to come, observing an
automobile dash away as they
ran. ,
Beneath the tree he declared,
they found the minister and the
choir singer dead and he added
Schneider bent down and stole
the minister's watch.
This" Schneider hotly denied
during the long examination to
which the youths were subjected.
Schneider, in turn, accused Hayes
of having committed the theft.
One of the most glaring dis
crepancies in Schneider's story is
his assertion that neither he nor
Hayes touched the bodies, except
for the filching of the watch of
which b accuses Hayes.
Woman's Throat Cut
It has been established by a
belated autopsy that Mrs. Hills
throat was cut from ear to ear
and her head almost severed,
Schneider could not explain this.
Neither could he . explain how
the bodies came to be laid out
carefully, side uy side, as it for
burial, ,
He was equally unsatisfactory
as to how the love letters written
by Mrs. Mills to the minister came
to be scattered about the scene,
or who placed one of the minis
ter's cards against the sole of his

Defense Course Indicated 4
Some indication of the prob
able basis of the case of the de
fense is seen in the questloninf
of Attorney Ilayter That this
will consist of an attack on the
methods used by the prohibition
agents in their attempt to secure
the arrest of Warren ' for boot
legging i held likely. '
A question asked by Hayter of
all jurors examined was, "Do yoq
believe In the use of "stool pig
eons' to secure the arrest of a
violator of -the law?"
Distaste for such practice was'
expressed in practically all ins
tances. Several Jurors said, how
ever, that expediency might be
served by the use of 'stool pig-,
eons' even though they personally
did not care for the idea.
Enforcement Ideas Asked '
Hayter also consistently asked
if the juror thought the prohib
ition laws more important than;
any othr law and If they should
be enforced In the same manner,
e answers were uniformly la
the effect that the laws relative
to Intoxicating liquor were Just
as other laws. :
"Do you not realize that much
more difficulty is encountered In
emorcement or , the prohibition,
laws than In the case of other5
statutes and that extraordinary!
means must be exercised In carry,
ins them out at times?" Is the
gist of a question put to the Jur
ors by Tooze. Most ot the men
replied that they did. rl

When the court, adjourned at

by both sides. Of the 24 called
