YOUNG HAYES TO BE
- ARRAIGNED IN COURT
CHARGED WITH MURDER
Raymond Schneider, Is Also
Held As A Material
Witness.
MISS MILLS DOUBTS- IT.
Thinks Hayes Did Not Have
Sense Enough To , Plan
' Murder. ,
SOMERVILLb, M. J.,' Oct.,
10. (By The Assocate.d Press.).
Nineteen-year-old Clifford Hayes,
of New Brunswick, today pleaded
, not guilty of murdering the Rev
' erend Edward Wheeler HaU and ,
Mrs. Reinhardt Mills, and was held
by Justice of the Peace Stutphen
without bail for grand jury action.
Authorities who announced with
a show of confidence, opon Hayes' .
arrest yesterday, that the Hall
Mills mystery has been solved, ex
pressed even less satisfaction with
the case today.
On investigator said another lead
was being worked upon, which, if .
verified, would "change the entire
complexion of the case."
This lead, he added, pointed away
from Hayes, and appeared to pro
vide a motive that would explain
the mad slashing of Mrs. Mill's
throat in addition to her bullet
wounds.
Raymond Schneider, upon whose ac
cusation Hayes was urrested, still was
held today us a material witness, and
was being questioned front time to time
in au effort to clear .up discrepancies
in his stories as compared with facts
established from other sources.
Schneider said Hayes hud shot the
minister and the choir singer under the
apple tree on the old l'hillips farm
thinking thb pair to be Pearl Balmier,
15, 'and her stepfather, Nicholas Ball
mer. Schneider admitted that he him
self . was in love 'with the girl and de
clared that Hayes had acted as aven
ger of 'a wrong Schneider believed had
been done himself by the girl's step
father. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 10.
Clifford Hayes, 19 years old, who was
arrested vcstrrifciv -hiirpeil with tli first
degree murder of tho Rev. Edward
Wheeler HaU and his choir leader, Mrs.
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, was scheduled,
for arraignment in court today. With
his friend, Raymond Schneider, 21 years
old,, arrested as a material witness,
Hayes sTieiit the night in the county jaiL
Hayes was hcM iucominunicado while
Schneider was subjected to another long
questioning during the night by detec
tives in an effort to obtain further d-
tails. Haves linn steadfastly denied tlie
allegation made by Schneider that the
double shivinir urn fukp nf mistaken 1
identity, the intended victims beinir 15-!"
year-old Pearl Balmier aud her step
father, Nicholas Bahmer.
The only theory ho far advanced by
the authorities for Hayes' motive was
a desire to right a supposed wrong done
a friend. Schneider, who, although mar
ried, admittedly was iu love with the
Balmier girl.
It was Schneider mid Pearl iiilumr

Josephus Daniels, editor of the Ra

had failed to live up to their promises.
"The party iu power cannot point
with pride to anything worth while","
declared Mr. Daniels. They have noth

Mr. Daniels before his speech last
night, was takeu on a visit to the North
Carolina Orthopaedic Hospital uud to
the Gaston county fair grounds. He was
amazed, he said, at the work done by the
staff of the hospital iu reclaiming crip
pled children.
Before leaving Gast'onia ibis morning,
Mr. Daniels, in company with a Gazette
representative, visited the Gaston county
fair grounds and took a look at the
varied assortment of exhibits on display
there. He was particularly, interested in
the exhibits from the cotton mill com
munities of the county, aud in the agri
cultural displays. He was gratified to
know that the agricultural resources of
the county were keeping pace with the
industrial growth and expansion. Tho
exhibit of women's work frojn the sev
eral woman's clubs was alxo noticed by
Mr. Daniels. Returning from the fair
grounds' he was taken for a short ride
over tho city.
Ho was introduced at the courthouse

BILLY SUNDAY IS
COMING TO CHARLOTTE
Will Conduct Six Weeks Ser
vices First Of Next Year
Has Two Dates Open Be
tween January And Aprils
Will Be His Meeting In
State.
CHARLOTTE, Oct. 10. Rev. W. A.
(Billy) Sunday, the famous evangelist,
will hold a six-weeks revival meeting ih
Charlotte early in next year.
Two 'dates for next year are open on
Mr. Sunday's schodule. The first is
from about January 1 to tho middle of
February, aud the second extends from
tho middle of February to March 1.
Shreveporti La., has first . ontsiiiii on
these weeks uud the time of the evan
gelist s visit hero will be governed bv
the decision of u date for tho Louisiana
I city. The second period is preferred by
the Chailotto Ministerial Associcatioa,
whuh extended tho invitation to Mr.
Sunday to coma here, as it will give more
time to make preparations, which will
bo tremendous.,
A committee rof the associuitoii, com
posed of Dr. A. 8. Johnson, Dr. Luther
Little. Dr. W. W. Orr and Rev. H. 0.
Hardiu, has hud extensive correspond
ence with the evangelist since tho jiiinis-
iters at their September meeting decided
iu inane an en on to have him come here.
The result wa that he stipulated tho two
occasions when he would bo able to ac
cept the invitatiou aud the report of the
ministerial association Monday morning
at the Y. M. C A. was received and en
dorsed. !
Following the acceptance by Mr. Sun
day 's manager, the committee wrote that
the second date would be preferable if
he could so arrange it. In reply, a tele
gram came Monday sayiug that tho time
ould not bo definitely known until
Shreveport decided upou the date for
the meeting there.
With the .ministers' conuuitteo as a
nucleus, u central committee of ll) minis
ters, laymeu and ladies will bo formed
to make necessary arrangements for the
big eveut, whatever time it may come.
This committee will, in turn, appoint 17
other committees to assist in tho task
of getting thing ready. The flrsir thing
to bo done will bo tho building of a tab
ernacle, the evangelist having a perma
nent requirement that a tent or house
for seating scvrul thousand persons be
prepared tor his coming.
Tho location of tho tabernacle will bo
decided upon by tho steering committee
after duo deliberation. There is no pluce
now iu the city that will bo able to houso
the vast throngs sure to attend the Sun
day services und u special pluce will have
to be constructed. -
jBilly Sunday is now in Lynchburg,
Va., conducting a revival, which will con
tinue to October L'O. When ho comes
here ho will bo accompanied by Homer
Rodeheaver, his song louder, who excites
almost as-much' interest und uilmiratiou
us tlie preacher himself.
When the ministerial association bo
guu its endeavor a mouth ugo to have
the evaueglist visit Charlotte it seemed
unlikely that ho would be ublo to accept
the invitation until next September, lio
makes his dates months ahead of time
and it wus understood that his date book
was completely filled for . tho ensuing
year. However, it is thought that some,
city where ho was to appear dropped out
ami he was able to consider the bid to
come here.
The initiative in getting Mr. Sunday
to como to Charlotte was takeu by the
Presbyterian ministers of the city at
their meeting last May, At that time
it was voted to take up the matter ith
the pastors of the other churches, but
nothing of a formal nature was done
until this mouth, because there were no
meetings of the ministers in June, July
and August.
Dr. Albert S. Johnson, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, bad private
correspondence with the evangelist's
manager and he learned that it would be
possible to have him hetj at a date in
the remote future. -
This will be the first scries that Mr.
Sunday has ever conducted ia North
Carolina. He was at Spartanburg last
winter and is scheduled to appear at Co
lumbia next spring.
