and scratches found on the bodies,
he stated that he did not go near the
bodies after they had been dumped
out of the car but that the woman
went over to them and came back
wearing some Jewelry which he sup-
posed she had taken from the bod-
ies. He stated that the woman car-
ried a Chinese dagger which he had
bought for her in Chinatown in New
York two years before. Following
the murder and receipt of the money
from the dentist in Elizabeth, N. J.,
the woman and hiinseff dicided it was
best that they separate and that he
gave her $3,000 when they parted and
that he has not seen her since.
He described Hall as being u man
of about 5 feet 8 inches, of medium
build, fair complexion and smooth
shaven. Mrs. Mills was shorter than
Hall according to the confession and
the night of the murder wore a fawn
colored cloak. The description tal-
lied with newspaper photos of the
puir taken at the time.
Sheriff Shacklett and Attorney
Morrison and Assistant Attorney Jeu-
nings were present during the con-
fession.
Until word is received from New
York officers who are checking the
story it will not be definitely known
whether Allen Is really guilty or
creating a story for some unknown
purpose.
Date of the Hull Mills murder was
Sept. 14. 1922.
The voice of conscience today
swept aside the veil of mystery which
has surrounded the Hall-Mill mur-
der, In 1921, In Essex County. N. J.,1
if the sworn confession made by
Elwln F. Allen, that he murdered
Rev. Hall and his choir singer, Mrs.
Mills, can be verified.
Allen has been held in the county
with the dentist, but goes on to say
that the dentist related to him how
Mrs. Mills had disgraced her family
through her love affair with Rev.
Hall, and that the dentist offered
him $5,000 in cash and promised him
a new car, if he would dispose of
Hall and Mrs. Mills.
Alleu stated he agreed “to do the
job.”
Later Allen accompanied the dent-
ist to Newark, where Rev. Hall and
Mrs. Mills were pointed out to Allen
at church one Sunday morning. Alleu
said he did not remember the name
of the church, but it was the church
of which Rev. flat: was pastor.
After identifying the minister and
choir singer for Allen, Alleu said the
dentist and himself discussed the
plau.s for the crime and finally drove
to Perth Amboy, New Jersey, where
the dentist gave Allen $1,000 tu
cash.
The dentist left bis car with Allen,
and inter Allen drove It to Elizabeth
and left It In the dentist's garage.
Allen then took his own car In
which he had driven from Nbw York
to Elizabeth, and drove to Newark,
Now Jersey, where he remained for
two weeks. On Monday night, two
weeks and a day alter tho day on
which the dentist had pointed out
Rev. Hull and Mrs. Mills, Allen saw
the couple puss in a car, as he came
out of a pool hall.
Alien says he followed Rev. Hall
and Mrs. Mills in his own car, which
was parked at the curb. The chase
led out on the highway tbward Eliza-
beth, amias the Hall-Mills car neared
that city, Allen drove his car arouml
lit front of it and halted It. Allen
said he had a 32-20 guu and a .38
calibre revolver with him and that
he covered the minister and the sing-
er with the revolver. He ordered
