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.

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 who aunouuc ed to the police that thy ed the bodies of the niimV had discovere ter and Mrs. Mills uuder a crab apple tree on a farm.

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.

Johnson, Dr. Luther Little. Dr. W. W. Orr and Rev. H. 0.

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.

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.
