"If any such warrants have been issued, they are getting in my way." Simpson refused to elaborate as to whom he referred by Simpson admitted that "warrants may be issued today." When and ff they are issued, it is understood they will name two persons said to be intimateley associated with the case and four other anted as material witnesses. SOMERVILLE, N.

Aug. 4. INS Deep secrecv today surrounded the issuance of six additional warrants in connection with the Halls-iMills murders. Two of the warrants are said to charce direct complicity in the slaying of the Rev. Edward W.

Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills. The oth er four persons are wanted as material witnesses. Patrick J. Hayes- former chief of police of (Hoboken and now, acting as chief investigator in the Hall-Mills case under the direction of special prosecutor Alexander Simpson, is understood to have the warrants.

While officials refuse to give out any information concerning the persons named in the warrants, it was reported that they will not be served at this time. They were issued, it was stated, as a sort of restraining meas ure to prevent the persons named from leaving jurisdiction -of the local authorities. The persons named are understood to be under constant surveillance. Senator Simpson made tit clear to-dy that he attaches great importance to the torn love letters, exchanged between the Rev. Hall and the choir singer, which "vere found scattered over their bodBes.

'The leters were put there by somebodj he said." They did not walk there and must have come from the home of the dead man. M- detectives have information that the letters were in the possession of a certain person. We also know that person obtained possession of them after they ere found beneath a pillow."

The man, with his wife and seven children, ranging in ages from 2 to 17 years, resided in Company House No. 57. on South Liberty street.

According to the oldest daughter of the dead man, Mary, aged 17 years, her father temporarily quit work about 4 days ago, order to secure a much needed rest. About 5:30 o'clock last evening the girl stated her father dressed himself his best clothes, telling the family he was going uptown. Ignatz Bogan, a fellow worker with Horsica, and who resides in the Horsica home, stated last night that he had asked the other man during the earlier part of the evening where he was going, but received no answer to his inquiry. Shortly before 8 o'clock the family was notified that the body had been found the river, a short distance from the house. Investigation among residents of the vicinity where the dead man lived and worked has revealed two theories for the probable cause of his death.

One theory advanced by the residents is that the man committed suicide, jumped from the narrow foot bridge into the nver, a distance at the present time of about 20 feet, due to low water in the stream. The other reason is that Honsca, said to have been easily afflicted by extreme heat, was temporarily deranged and fell from the bridge -while stricken, going there for a walk to escape the scorching heat. The boys who found the body of the drovmed man arc said to ha'e told nearby residents that while swimming the river early last evening, they observed Honsca wade a short distance out into the water, turn back and a few seconds later make a second attempt at wading out into the shallow water of the river at that point. The boys then say that the man talked out on the foot bridge, known locally as tno i "swinging bridge." and from there I eithermmped or fell from the bridgvjLFew minutes later, the youngilaasrfound the body Ivmg in the center of the stream, and believing the man to be still alive, ran for help from nearby residents. The man was dead when the first of the rescue party reached the scene.

There are no bruises or other juries on the bod of the dead man to indicate that he had actually flung himself into the ruer from the bridge, with the exception of one small bruise on the forehead, hardly noticeable to the casual witness. Residents of the company houses stated last night that Honsca seemed to be easily stricken with the extreme heat, and that dunng the last few days he had been laid off by the glass company officials, the man evidently being unable to withstand the teriffic heat prevalent the plant during real hot weather. Fellow workjs? regard ed Horisca as a good industrious worker, and could assign no reason why the man should commit suicide. Investigation last night reveaiea that about a year ago the wife of the dead man left him, taking with her two children. For some reason the woman returned about a month ago, and since that time the family has been living together on South Liberty street.

During the absence of the mother, the oldest daughter of the couple kept house for her father and brothers and sisters. The deceased is survived by his widow and seven children.
