BY EARL L. SHAUB, Universal Service Correspondent. New Brunswick, N. J., Nov. 3.— “Dress rehearsal" for presenting the Halls-Mills murder mystery to the grand jury began today when a dozen or more persons were summoned be fore Wilbur A. Mott, who is probing the case for the state. Practically every person suspected of knowing anything about the deaths of the Kev. Edward Wheeler Hall and his choir singer, Mrs. El eanor Mills, were included in the call, with the exception of Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, widow of the rector. Those who were not quizzed by Mr. Mott today will be heard tomorrow. • Three Henry's Examined. Among those called were three men, all named Henry, and resem bling each other In that they have bushy hair, heavy eyebrows and thick mustaches. The first to be summoned was Mrs. Jane Gibson, who contends she saw a man of that description fire the fatal shots, and who further in sists that Mrs. Hall was present when he did so. Others questioned today were Bar bara Tough and Louise Geist, maids In the Hall household. James Mills, the slain woman’s meek Utle husband, and Charlotte, her plump litle daughter, were among those called. So were Henry Stevens, the crack shot, and “Willie’’ Stevens, said to be a simple wit, brothers of Mrs. Hall. Edward Schwartz, a finger-print expert, was ordered by Mott today to speed up his examination of blood stained papers found near the bod ies. He is also examing a calling card fcund propped against the dead rec tor’s feet. This card is said to bear significant thumb prints. Trail "Mystery Man.'* A new mystery man entered the case today. Mott, state troopers and other authorities are on his trail. They expect to find him soon. Ho is the ilian who drove the car on the night of the murders. It was his headlight that illuminated the scene when Mrs. Gibson asserts she wit nessed the killings. This man’s habits, diversions and his schemes for finding spots for “love trysts” are known to the au thorities. The number and make of his car is also known. Jury Meets Wednesday. Most of the questions surrounding the murder have been answered either by the Investigators or the newspapers. When the remainder are answered a tight ring will be drawn about the murderers. The grand jury will meet Wednes day, the day after election. The Jurors will be asked to indict a woman and perhaps a man. It has been predicted from the first that no action would be taken until after election. Mr. Mott refused today to con firm or deny reports that one or more warrants have been drawn up and signed in the case. Frankly dissenting from the alibi given by Mrs. Hall In her Interview with newspaper men Wednesday, the authorities are reported to be • concerned also with in formation that when she notified the police of her husband’s appearance, Mrs. Hall ' did not telephone from her home, but from the railroad station and that when she telephoned her sister-inl- I aw about the disappearance she used ) a pay booth at the depot. Alibi Under Inquiry. James A. Mason, chief investiga tor for Mr. Mott, let it be known to day that the authorities are inter ested in alleged discrepancies in Mrs. Hall's various statemetns establish ing an alibi. She at first asserted that she left her home at 2 o’clock In the morning to look for her husband, and returned at 2:30. In an Interview with report ers she said she left the house with her brother, Willie, at 2:30 and re turned at 3:30. Official investiga tors stress two points in the evidence of two men, one a watchman, who says he saw Mrs. Hall return home, and the other a neighbor who was awakened by the barking of his dog and was informed by the watchman of Mrs. Hall's return. The first point is that both men name tlie hour of her return at 2:10. The other is that the watchman in sists that Mrs. Hall was alone. SMITH NOW FAVORITE IN N. Y. GOVERNOR RACE Universal Service.
