'New York,;Aug. 4. District Attor
ney Charles J, Dodd of Kings county
has started in Brooklyn an investiga
tion into the Hall-Mills murder at
Somerville, N. J., that will upset pres
ent theories if : evidence developea
along lines suggested. .
The. body, of the Rev. Dr. Edward
W. Hall was examined at Kings coun
ty hospital in Brooklyn after the mur
der, four years ago by Dr. Bernard
Vaughan, who is now dead. Dodd has
found in Dr. Vaughan's note a sug
gestion that rifle as well as pistol
bullets were used in the slaying of Dr.
Hall and Mrs. Elenor Mills, the choir
singer. The New York Times says to
day it has. learned that official records
made at autopsies do not state the
size of bullets used.
Shells of .32 calibre bullets were
foundj near the bodies, but it is point
ed out that there" may have been
placed there to divert suspicion.

New Brunswicfl,' N. Y., Aug. 4.
Love letters written by Mrs. Eleanor
Mills to the Rev. Edward W. Hall, and
scattered in fragments over their
bodies four years ago have assumed
new and unexpected importance in
the reopened investigation of the mur
der, in the opinion of Senator Simp
son, special prosecutor for the state.
"My detectives have direct evidence
that these letters were in the hands
of a certain person," he said yester
day. "We also know this person ob
tained i them after they had been
found-'beneath a pillow. Naturally I
can't give the names of the person
who held the letters just before the
murder, but I don't distinguish be
tween the people who brought the let
ters and those who committed the
murder.
Senator Simpson declared he had
new evidence showing Mrs. Hall had
.knowledge of the letters before the
slaying, altho in one interview she de
clared she had not suspected her hus
band's friendship with the choir singer.
