Many of Those Involved
Still Live Near Scene.
New Brunswick, N. J.—Ten years
•go Itev. Kdwurd Wheeler Hall, rec
tor of St. John's Episcopal church
here, and Eleanor It. Mills, his choir
leader, were murdered under a crab
apple tree on the Phillips farm, Just
off l>e Bussey lane on the outskirts
of town.
The mystery which surrounded the
crime when the bodies were found two
days after the double slaying remains
unsolved despite investigations which
resulted in the trial and acquittal on
murder charges of the clergyman’s
widow, Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, and
her brothers, Henry and “Willie” Stev
ens.
Henry de la Bruy ere Carpender, a
cousin of Mrs. Hull, who was indicted
with her and her brothers, never was
tried, but the Indictment against him
was quashed after his kinsmen hud
been found not guilty of the murder
of Mrs, Mills by a Somerset county
Jury. A second indictment accusing
all four with the murder of Mr. Hall
•lao was nonprossed after the trial.
Lives Turned Topey-Turvy.
The Investigation failed to reveal
who fired the shots which killed Mr.
Hall and Mrs. Mills or who slashed
the woman's throat, hut it focused at
tention of the country upon a strange
ly assorted group of characters whose
private lives were exposed to public
view and turned topsy-turvy. Some ’of
them are still trying, after ten years,
t* * * target a6d make other's forget the
parts they played in the celebrated
ease.
Mrs. Hall, who is now sixty-six, still
lives at 45 Nicholl avenue, New Bruns
wick, the house from which her hus
band set forth to keep the tryst from
which he never returned alive. She
still wears black as though in mourn
ing and devotes most of her time to
charitable work. Strangers often stop
before the gate hml stare at the big
bouse in the sheltering shrubbery.
Mrs. Hails brother Henry, now six
ty three, lives with his family at La val
id to, the New Jersey coast resort from
which he was taken to jail in the fall
of He spends most of his time
fishing and hunting and appears to
be in better health than lie was at
the time of his trial. Her younger
brother, the eccentric “Willie,” lives
with Mrs. Hail in New Brunswick.
Still Visits Firemen.
He has not changed much in ap
pearance or habits. He makes fre
quent visits to Fire House No. 3, where
before the murder he spent hours talk
ing with friends ainong tiie firemen.
At other times he works In the gur-
of his sister’s home or accompa-
her on eharltable errands wear-
Jnca black felt hat, a frock coat, dark
trousers.
Mr. Carpender, a retired Wall Street
broker, was said to have lost heavily
in the market crash of 19’J9. In that
year, too, he was stricken with paraly
sis which crippled him and made
aponch difficult. He is tifty nine years
oM and lives in Somerville, N. J.
Mills. tiie husband of (lie slain choir
leader, still lives in his shabby second-
floor apartment at 49 Carman street,
a few blocks from the more preteu-
tious home of Mrs. Hull. Somewhat
grayer ami thinner, lie is still janitor
of the public school across the way
and is a regular churchgoer, firm in
the conviction that tiie murder will
never be solved.
HU daughter Charlotte, now twen
ty-eight. is « stenographer working
aud living in New York. Occasionally
she visits her father and brother, I>an-
■y, b, tail, slim youth of twenty-two.
Omrlotle has not married.
Mrs. Jane Hibson, the "pig woman,"
who was carried into court on a
atneteber to testify that she saw Mrs.
Hall and her brother "Willie” near
the scene of the murder on tiie night
the minister and his inamorata were
kUled. died of cancer in Jersey City
hospital February 7, 1930. Slie .‘never
recanted the story,which the Jurors at
the trial of Mrs. Hall and her broth
ers refused to accept. Joseph E. Striek
er ami Azarinh M. Beckman, prosecu-
bsrs respectively of Middlesex and
Somerset counties, who conducted the
first investigation which failed to re
sult in any indictments, also have
passed away.
Life of Ocean Denizen*
Not Without Excitement
V
Not every creature-that lives in the
ocean is a fish. Many always think
of a whale as a fish, but a whale is
a mammal, warm-blooded aful an air-
breather He is no more a fisli than
the family dog is a fish. Most whales
are shaped like tlsh and swim the seas,
but this does not make them fish any
more than tiie mouse tiiat has wings
is a bird—tiie hat is a mammal.
We think of the cold, slimy swim
mers in river, pond, lake, and Ocean
as living a dull life, vlt is hard to im
agine social relations or many of the
pleasures of the warm-blooded ani
mals on land being siiared by tiie in
habitants of the cold, wet, and dark
seas. And yet there is now scientific
evidence that In the world of fish
things are not so very different us
had been supposed.
In the fish world there are gluttons,
fighters and loafers. In sharks’ stom
achs have been found lobsters, turtle
hones, chicken’s feathers, wheat, corn,
and coffee grounds, string beans, corn-
oobs, Hie horn of a sheep, hones of
a cow, and even a wooden bucket and
tin cans. The shark Is voracious
eater, and lie never has indigestion,
because he can push his stomach out
tiirough his .mouth and empty out any
thing which might trouble him to di-

Good Story, but Hard to
Find the Moral in It
They tell it of James Gordon Ben
nett. He hated drinkers, and the boys
wtyo worked with him were all aware
of it. One of tiie pressmen returned
from a bender with a beautiful black
eye.
As luck would have it. James Gor
don popped Into tiie pressroom that
day. The fellow sjaitted him before
Bennett saw him, and father than ex
plain the “shiner” and run tiie risk
of being tired chose to rub printer’s
ink all over his face. On ids tour of
inspection around the pressroom Ben
nett came upon the besmudged press
man busily burying his nose in his
work. * -
“Who’s I lie fellow?” he asked the
foreman. Upon being told, Bennett
asked, “What do you pay him?” Tiie
[ foreman quoted the figure.
“Double it!" snapped Bennett. “He’s
file only one in tiie place who seems to
he doing any work.”—New York

Rain-Maker’s Method*
Because rain is so essential to tiie
proper growtli of their crops, the na
tives of Africa are greatly depend
ent upon it, and many are the rain
making ceremouie^ they hold, with
whole communities participating in
some of them.
Native roots are powdered and
mixed together and then put in a
bowl of water. After this au eland
tail is dipped in the mixture and
waved around vigorously. It is shak
en to tiie four quarters of the earth
and then shaken over the bowl. Then
the tail is installed in tiie medicine
man's home.
Following this the growing tip of
mochangoko, a species of randia, an
other plant, is hound to the head of
the “doctor” with twine of the niu-
salui vine. He then goes to sleep,
with his legs tucked up if little rain is
desired, or with his legs spread <>ut
if much rain is wanted.

TAKE BABY WHALE
IN LIVELY FIGHT
Struggle Between Msir «nch
Mammal Draws Big Crowd.
Somerset, Bermuda.—A lusty bahy
sperm whale that had become sep
arated from its mother was captured
here after a desperate struggle. It
had strayed within the coral reefs
surrounding Bermuda and was sight
ed by three native fishermen who
maneuvered It inshbre. Following an
unsuccessful and inexperienced at
tempt to harpoon the whale, one of
the flsheffiien Jumped upon tiie
whale’s back and deftly tied a rope'
around Its tail immediately above the
projecting flukes. A titanic struggle
epsued. At times the motpr boat
would tow tiie whale which suddenly
in its struggle for freedom would
"sound” and tow the motor fishing
boat about tiie harbor threatening to
wreck the boat and imperil the cap-
tors. The shores were lined with
spectators watching the struggle be
tween man and mammal until the
whale, weakened by its efforts, be
came docile and allowed himself to
be towed to a spot suitable for ex
hibition purposes.
Thousands of visitors flocked to wit
ness the captured mammal. The Ber
muda railway ran special excursion
trains to tiie exhibition point.
Lively and heated discussion, some
times even leading to blows, raged
as to the exact species of the cap
tured creature and even after Dr. F.
G. Wheeler. D. Sc., director of the
Bermuda Biological station for scien
tific research, had been called in and
definitely identified the capture as a
young sperm whale, men once engaged
in Bermuda’s now defunct whaling in
dustry refused to accept ( his scien
tific dictum, nvering that it was this,
that and the other, mostly names
such as might have been coincided by
A. A. Milne or some equally whimsical
writer. -The whale was turned over
to William Beebe, the scientist, who
aided by Ins staff, dissected it.

Insect Eating Plants
Grow in Michigan Swamp
I’etoskey, Mich. — Three common
insect-eating plants inhabit the
swamps of Michigan—tiie pitcher
plant, sundew, and tiie biadderwort.
The pitcher plant, which blooms iH a
June and July, takes its name from
Hie fact that its leaves are tiie replica
of a pitcher. The bottom of tiie leaf
is filled with a sweet fluid which at
tracts the insects. . Downward point
ing hairs lining the sides of the leaves
facilitate the descent of the prey.
These same hairs make ascent im
possible. After repeated climbs the
insect falls exhausted to the bottom
and drowns in the pool of liquid. The
decomposition of the little body is
food for tiie plant.
The flower of tiie pitcher plant,
which grows on a ’J-i'oot stalk, is or
ange color and is slm|>ed like au um
brella.
Equally bloodthirsty is the sundew.

The alluring word "It” which made

reputation was down in black and
white long before most people had
ever heard of Elinor Glyn. It was
limlyard Kipling ami not Elinor Glyn
who created According to tiie
Golden Book Magazine. Back in
1904 in a story called “Mrs. Bathurst,”
Kipling had I'reeruft say;
“How she stood an’ what she was
savin’ an’ what she looked like. That's
the secret. Tisn’t beauty, so to
speak, nor good talk necessarily. It's
just it. Some women'll stay in n

down a street, hut most of ’em you
can live with a month on end, and
next commission you’d lie put to if to
certify whether they talked in their
