-3. (A)-Sirs. Frances Stevens Hall sat in a little courthouse here today and heard letters, telling of the professed love of her dead husband for another woman, also dead, read to a jury, which seemed lest fu terested than the curious throngs in the courtroom. The widow of the slain rector between her brothers and codefendants, Willie and Henry Stevas extravagant phrases, represented as those of her husband addressed to Mrs. Eleanor R.

Mills, singer in his church choir, ware read into the record by the state, which charges the trio with the murder of Mrs. Mills. A slight quiver of the lips as the reading was started and the woman defendant was calm again, aL very possessed but sorrowful figure. The letters dwarfed all else of significance of the trial day. Submitted as evidence in the morning after they previously had been identified, they were admitted but not until the defense had vainly urged their exclusion.

The afternoon brought the reading. Most of the letters were written from Maine where the Rev. Edward W. Hall was on vacation in 1922. A Christmas card sent in December 1921, was among the letters.

Only two references to Mrs. Hall appeared. One told of Mrs. Hall's wondering "why am taking only three Sundays eff." 'The other said: "I can't talk to you any more in the presence of Mrs. h.

'1 or Jim." The letters were introduced by the prosecution as having been found with aL diary, said to have been that of Mr. Hall, found in Mrs. Mill's home after her dean.

SCHOOL MERGER URGED IN CITY BOUNDARY PLAN Joining Of City And County Systems To Be Proposed ACTION NECESSARY TO EXTEND LIMITS Outlying Tax Districts Prevent Move Under Present Conditions Recommendation that the city and county school system be consolidated under one authority in the event the city limits are extended will be made Monday before the Greater Asheville committee of the Chamber of Commerce by R. R. Williams, consulting city attorney, at the meeting of that committee to complete the DrOposed new boundary lines the civic organization will suggest to the voters when a city extension election is called. The committee will convene at 4 o'clock p.

m. in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium and expecte to adopt proposed new boundaries resulting from a survey of the outlying sections that it has made. The next step in the proposed extension campaign will be to prepare a bill authorizing an election to be presented and passed by the next State Assembly. This will be followed by campaign in a advance of the election to impress the electorate with the importance of extending the present elty limits before the next Federal population censue is taken. Would Meet Legal Bars In going over the situation the committee found that legal obstacles will arise in adopting new boundaries by the fact that such new boundarles will cut into outside tax districts organized for school improvement purposes.

These are separate units for purposes of bond lesues for new. schools and many of which have already, issued bonds. In addition the county itself under the educational system of the State is separate authority for school improvement purposes, while the city also has its own school system. To clarify the situation in regard to school tax districts the committee asked Mr. Williams to submit a report on what best legal procedure should be followed in the event of extending the city limits.

This report will be made Monday and Mr. Williams first recommends that the city and county school systems be consolidated under one board, commission or other authority, and that as far as possible the proposed new boundaries, Instead of being in an exact circle, should follow the extablished boundaries of the present school tax districts. It Worked In Greensboro He points out that because of the three-unit system of public education in North Carolina, Greensboro in extending her city limits was compelled to consolidate the city and county systems which has worked to splendid advantage there not only in lessening expense of school administration but also in getting a more efficient school system. He says it is practically the only solution in view of the legal obstacles that will arise when the proposed city extension is car" ried out.
