False clues misled Hall Mills probe in Jersey case
Somerville New Jersey November 4 The false clues were a unusual development in the investigation of the slaying of Rev Edward W Hall and his chorister Eleanor Mills. They were called false clues because the prosecution rejected them after investigations that drew national attention. A diary found in Washington and a pistol in Philadelphia were among the more notable items. The case timeline traces events from September 1922 to the trial start, with hearings, exhumations, and multiple arrests and bail issues as authorities pursued new leads in the Hall Mills murders.
