BLACKMAIL THEORY STRENGTHENED IN DOUBLE MURDER Suspicion Is Fastened to Two Foreigners Seen Armed. NEW BRVNSWirK. N. J-. Sept 2|.?The theory that a blackmail plot led to the flay-In? of Rev. Ed ward Wheeler Hall, rector of the fashionable church of St. John th? Evangelist, and Mrs. James Mill*, member of the choir and wife of the church sexton, was strengthen ed today when authorities learned that two strange foreigners flash ed revolvers in New Brunswick the night before the double murder. The two foreigners are known to have spent the night before the ; j killing on a barge in the Haritan j ' Canal. Thursday noght at about I ; the time Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills j 1 left their respective homes, the I armed strancers left the barge. | They returned about 3 o'clock Frl i day morning and vanished the fol j lowing day in an automobile. The investigators are seeking 1 now to learn if the strangers were not paid gunmen hired to kill the ! rector and the choir singer. The report is persistent that an early arrest was to be made of a ! woman in the murder mystery, but : this could not be confirmed. Henry Stevens, brother of the | slain rector's widow. interviewed for the first time since the bodies ; of the couple were found, accounted for his actions since the Wednes day preceding the murder. A relative of Dr. Hall, it was revealed. ransacked the rector's study soon after trte news of the double murder. He is believed to have taken papers which would have thrown light on the playing. Pearl JJehner. 1(5, and Charles Schneider 24. who discovered the bodies, were taken into custody to night. The girl Is charged with ju venile delinquency by her father and will be detained pending ar raignment Friday before Judge Daley. Schneider was released. He is married.
