NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.—Pros
ecutor AZnriah Beekman of Som-
* rsot county, was expected to lay
iho evidence in the Hall-Mills mur-
ilor »ase before th£ grand jury
Y.onday. At the same time detec
tives on his staff were busy round-
itiR up new witnesses for examina

most witnesses liavo been taken re
cently in an effort to avoid the
many newspaper men working on
the case. ‘ ’ > <> ■ A
Great Interest was manifested by
iimhorities lit a report that the Rev.
Hail, slain rector of the Episcopal
Church of St. John the Evangelist,
mice employed a private detective
to curb the activities of. a man
who Mrs. Eleanore Reinhardt Mills,
choir leader, killed with the-cler
gyman. had complained was annoy
ing her.
An inquiry was begun Monday al
so of the report that another Io
nian was Involved in the complica-*
tions cf Dr. Hall and that he vis
ited her alone in a iManhattan
at artment. Authorities have learned
that Dr. Hall sent a telegram to this
woman early in August. It read:
‘ Will l»e at your apartment late
this evening.” Western Union offi
cials declined to turn a copy of
the message over to the authori
ties without a court order.
Both reports • were said to be
supported by documentary evidence
and left little doubt that both Dr.
H; 11 and Mrs. Mills had other ad
mirers. who might be able to throw
lipht on the mystery. s

NEW YORK.—Two seperate in
quiries were launched Monday into
the origin of the fire early Sunday
morning In which 15 lives were
lost, 17 injured and 150 made home
less. Fire Marshal Thomas Bro-
phy was in charge of one investiga
tion. and Assistant District Attorn
ey John Hennis of the homicide bu
reau in charge of the other.
The fire was thought to have
started under the main stairway in
the hall of the five-story double
tenement structure at 110th street
and Lexington avenue. Six baby
carriages had been parked there
the evening befqre. In many re
spects the fire was similar to the
one on the same street - but on
the west side a month ago in which
seven lives were lost.
Six members of the family of Ab
raham Sugarman were burned to
death, and five or six members of
the Silver family lost their lies ib
the flames. Several of the dead were
killed jumping from the burning
structure. Two bodies, those of a
man and a woman were charred so
badly as to render Identification
difficult if not impossible.
The fire made rapid headway,
spirals of flame roaring through
wooden alrshafts and hallways up
fie floors in fifteen minutes. Many
thrilling rescues were made. Fred-
erich Strokacch being credited by
police with saving eighteen lives.
He was taken to a hospital se
verely burned.
Neighbors gave shelter to the
homeless families.
