N. J . Oct. 6. By an Intensive Investigation of several of the earliest clues dis covered in the double shooting of ths Rev. Edward Whaaler Hall and Mrs. James Mills, wife of the church sexton, state and county authorities Announced .lniht tbey llfta consti't.cted a frame-work on Which they expeqted the entire case to hinge. This frame work, - the authori ties said, consists of four cardinal questions to be put to Mrs. Hall and James, when they are sum moned for re-questioning, which probably will be tomorrow. Tha first of the questions which the authorities say they wish to clear up is the exact number of times which Mills met Mrs. Hull on the day before the discovery of the bodies of the rector and Mrs. Mills in the Somerset County orchard. Mills had said that he met Mrs. Hall four times on this day first early In the morning at the church; twice at his own home and once at her home. Mrs. Hall, detectives said, has told them that she met Mills but once and this was at the church. The .second question concerns the statement of William Phillips, night watchman of the New Jer sey State College for Women, that the woman in the polo coat had entered ..the Hall home early on the morning after the double shooting, was unaccompanied. Mrs. Hall, who has admitted she Is the woman to whom Phillips refers, declares she was accompanied by her' brother, William Stevens. The third question is why Mrs. Hall failed to make any declaration of the large sum of money found in Hall's home arid the fourth Is whv neither she nor Mills in their questioning by Somerset County authorities made any statement of the close friendship and Interest which the rector and Mrs. Mills had shown each other.
