The wound upqn the throat was described as a "necklace" wound, and had the appearance of having been made by a knife In a stroke of a down ward trend which encircled the throat at the base of the nck. The slash severed the Jugular vein, the varotold arteries and the' esophagus.

It was established that Mrs. Mills was not pregnant. Jfaay QaeaUbna Aellled. The autopsy not only settled the dlf. ferences In the reports of Dr.

Long and Dr. Cronk but settled many rumor. Dr. Cronk was definite In his slnte n.ent that there were three bullet wounds In the woman's head, while Dr. Long contended that there were not mere than two, or possibly only one.

Dr. Long also was of the opinion that the woman's throat had not been cut, while Dr. Cronk was quite positive that It had been cut. Nor were any broken bones found, according to Mr. Beckman, although be did find some scratches and abrasions on one arm.

The fact that Mrs. Mills throat was cut, taken In conjunction with the lack of bloodstain on her clothing, except cn the shoulder upon which she liiy, tends to strengthen a favorite popular theory that the couple were murdered somewhere else than the place at which their bodies were found and that the clothes In which they were found were not the on In which they were dressed when killed. Pro ponents of this theory point also to the fact that Dr. Hall's coat was slit up the buck, which thy contend probably occurred when his body was lifted by other ersons. Murdered on Farm.

The conclusion of the officials that the minister and his favored chorister were slain where their bobs were found under a crabapple tree on a farm Just over the Middlesex County line from New Brunswick, was also shown as unwarranted.

The finding are at almost complete variance wlUi the report made by Dr. Long to Prosecutor Beekman at the time the bodies were discovered, but bore out fully the repcrt of Dr. Cronk who, at the request of the Hall family, examined both bodies before they were burled.

Autopsy IS Bay Late. THie atftopey, rovealllng Information vital to the solution of the murder mystery, was made Just flftee-u days after the bodies of the couplo were found. Am stated In a late edition of Every Evening yesterday. It showed that there were three bullet wound in the head caused by .32 oallbrr bullets of a type used In automatic pistols; that the woman's throat had been cut apparently by a lonlfe, and that no bones were broken In tlie woman's ankles or legs. These point had ueen in controversy virtually ever since Mrs.

Mills' body was burled two weeks ago. The question of the bullets was Important because It appears to establish conclusively that they were not fired from any of the several weapons In possession of the proserutor. In the fortnight since the slaying no step was taken to clear 4hst point definitely. The starting point established by the autopsy leaves the Investigators vlr tually two weeks behind the search. No one connected with the prosecu tor's office, however, appears to be deeply upset over the circumstances.

Dr. Long, In answer to jutlons re garding discrepancies between the findings of yesterday and his original report on the condition of Mrs. Mills' body declared that he had never made an autopsy upon the" body beforo yes-terday. His previous report, he said wns based upon a more or less perfunctory examination, and the reason he did not make an autopsy at the time of the finding of the bodies, added, was becnuse he had not been ordered to do so by Mr. Boekman.

Heretofore the Impression had been permitted that Dr. Long's first examination was an autopsy. Peek man Is Hot Worried. Prosecutor Beekmon, when told that Dr. Long has passed the responsibility for the bungled situation to him, admitted that he had ordered no autopsy, but voitrhsafed no explanation of why ho did not deem such an examination necessary, or whether he did think so.

There were several indications yesterday, in addition to the Governor's lt-tr, that dissatisfaction is growing over the manner In which the case Is being allowed to drag along. Mrs. Frsn-cewltnli, Widow of the dead rector, has retained Timothy N. Ffelffer, formerly an Assistant district attorney of New York county and attached to the homicide bureau of that office, "personal counsel for herself and family to carry out their determination to bring about the solution of the mystery of the murder of Rev. Edward.

W. Hall." The Board of Freeholders of Somerset county decided to Offer $500 In each case for the apprehension of the ni.nt...,. r.t T- TToll Xfrm Mllta A reward of $1,000 was offered Thura day by Middlesex" county, provided It is shown the crime was committed In that county. The body of Dr. Hall la also to be exhumed and an autopsy will be performed.

Prosecutor Beckman said an application had been ma4e to the Supreme Court In Brooklyn for permission to exhume the body of Dr. Hall, which is in Green-Wood Cemetery, but that it was refused on the ground that the application was made by an assistant. Prosecutor Beekman said he himself would make another application. Facts Shown by Antopsy. The body of Mrs.

Mills was exhumed about daylight and rushed to the morgue of John V. Hubbard, coroner, where the autopsy was performed immediately. Prosecutor Beekman announced later that the autopsy had shown the following facts: Three bullet wounds were In the head. All three bullets were recovered from the head. One bullet entered the forehead near the hareline and lodged In the brain tissue.

Another bullet entered the right cheek and alsj was found in the brain tissue. The third bullet entered the right temple region above the ear and Just back of Jfte temple. That bullet went completely through the head and was found between the skull and the scalp, having passed through the skull twice. The skull was fractured, probably by the first bullet that struck. Aaj of the three wounds would rrttve been sufficient to cause death, it was stated.

A fourth wound was found upon the upper lip which had the appearance of having tx-en made by a spent bullet, which did not strike with sufficient force to break the teeth under the lip. Various theories have been advanced regarding the probability of that missile having passed through the head of the woman's companion be fore it struck her.

Nor is He Disturbed Over Not Being Invited to Republican Meeting Here. CAMPAIGN OUTLOOK IS DARK Special Dispatch From Kvery Evening's Washington Correspondent. Wayiinjtton. Sept. SO.

Fourth A-sistanf Postmaster-General II. H. Billany -was cn top," yesterday. a he has been all along stnc the Postmasters' Convention convened, here several days since. I'pon the occasion Indicated Postmaser-Gener! Hubert "Work and his assistants.

Including: Mr. Billany, received the visiting postmasters at the Postoffloa Department. The meeting was a sort of social affair, and proved to be delightful not only to those who are running the PcstoCQce Department at Washington, but to the hundred of visiting postmasters. While the Washington correspondent of Every Evening was In conference with Mr. Billany, yesterday afternoon, Third Assistant Postmaster-General W.

I. Glover came into his office and delivered to Mr. Billany a check for J3.048.7H.51. "We have to spend this money somewhere and somehow." said Mr. Billany.

"What would you suggest that we do with it? It belongs to the government, and to the individual citizen It looks very large, but really the amount Is no very large in comparison with other checks that come through my hand. This check Is to be turned into the United States treasury, where It will help to pay some of Uncle Sam's ligations." Invited to Meeting. i In course of the conversation engaged in by Mr. Billany and those In his office at that time, he was reminded that on October 7. 1922, the campaign for the Republican ticket in Delaware would open at Wilmington.

where there is designed to be great outpouring of Republicans In an outdoor demonstration. When he was asked If he intended to be present and take part in the affair. Mr. Billany gave this brief though emphatic reply: "No, I shall not attend Ihave not been asked." Mr. Billany seemed not to be In the least interested in the contemplated demonstration, which has been planned to help the candidacies of Senator Coleman du Pont and Representative Caleb R.

Layton. Of course the Senator and the Congressman will be there, as will Colenel Thomas W. Miller, Alien Property Custodian, and probably Senator I. Heisler Ball. Whil Mr.

Billany does not indicate it in his conversation, it Is well understock among his friends he is not losing any sleep over the situation in Delaware. It appears that there Is nothing involved in that campaign which appeals very strongly to him. and it may be set. down In your little book for future reference that he Is not going to tear his shirt" about the matter. However, Senator du Pont and Dr.

Layton are vitally concerned, more so, probably, than anybody else, and it may be assured they are going to be very active from October 7. the opening day of their campaign, until election day. Results are what you are seeking. Use classified ads. Adv.
