Accuse Sleuth in Hall Mills Murder Probe
Somerville New Jersey October 4 The extradition of Felix Di Martini a Brooklyn detective accused as an accessory after the murder of the Rev Dr Edward W Hall and Mrs Eleanor R Mills four years ago has been requested by Governor Moore. Di Martini is free on 10000 bail pending a hearing in Brooklyn Supreme Court Friday. He will fight extradition. Three of the defendants to be indicted as accessories are Mrs Frances Stevens Hall and her brothers Henry and Willie Stevens. Trial set for November 3. The fourth defendant Henry De La B Carpender will be tried later. Special Prosecutor Simpson plans indictments against three men and a woman as accessories after the fact. An allegation that Carpender paid former state trooper Henry L Dickman 2500 in 1923 to drop his private investigation is denied by Carpender who says he has never seen Dickman. Dickman a military prisoner on Governors Island made an affidavit for the prosecution which Senator Simpson calls too sensational to publish.
