Somerville, N. J.. Nor. 29.—“For
reasons which Mem to them sufficient
and controlling, the grand Jury took no
action in tho Hall-Mills murder case
and laid the matter over. This does
not mean necessarily that the matter
cannot be taken up again by this
a subsequent grand Jury.”
With these words Foreman Gibbs of
the Somerset grand Jury, late yester
day made known the fact that
dlctment had been returned In
the moat mystifying murder dramas
that has faced the country In many
years.
For five day* Special Deputy Attor
ney General Mott has been presenting
evidence to bolster his theory aa to
who killed Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall
and his choir singer. Mrs. Eleanor R
Mills, on the Phillips farm the nigh;
of September 14. Yesterday—a day re
plete with drama—the prosecutor pre

Outside the Jury room some one else

widow, who had rushed to the court

and who had not been granted access.
received tlie decision as she has
received all other developments In the
case—stocially, with scarcely a trace
of emotion. A slight biting of the Ups,
little tug at her handkerchief, that
is all that showed the stress unde:
which she must have boon laboring.
She received her first word of the
Jury's decision from a member of that
body. Coming out of the Jury room
he handed a piece of paper to her law
yer, Timothy N. Pfeffer of New York,
who throughout the day had been seat
ed In the foyer of the court house with
Mrs. Hall and her confidante, Mist
Sally Poters. He at once communt
catcd the message to hie client
Then, while Foreman Gibbs waa Is

arose. Assisted by hor lawyer and a
friend, aho pasted from the foyer In
which all day she had subjected hen
the stares of the curious and
made her way to her car. The Trio

New Brunswick.
Mr. Mott, appointed to direct the
Investigation bccauso of a criticism of
the manner in which he had been
handled In the early stages, pinned his
hopes to the story told him by Mrs.

who had appeared In the mystery

She was ushered into the jury !

The woman exchanged Just one
glance, a Wishing glance.
Then the door closed behind the
woman who claimed to hnre recog-
members of the death group b»
neath the old crab apple tree on the
Phillips farm. ,
But Mra. Gibson was not the only
witness on whom Mr. Mott counted.
He called before the Jury, as a sun
priae witness, Charles Alpaugh, a Jib
ney driver, from Somerville. Tho state
maintained that hts testimony regard
ing a machine he had seen standing
near a lane leading to the acene ot
the murder* on the night they oo
curred would serve to corroborate the
Identification ot Mrs. Glbaon.
Foreman Gibbs declined to enlarge
on hla formal statement and Mr. Mott
also maintained strict alienee, so that
doubt remained In tho minds ot
newspaper men as to whether the Jury
