New nrunswfclj, N. I Nev. 2.
Without n flicker of emotion, Mrs.
Frnnccs Stevens Hall faced twenty
newspaper men nnd women ut lier home
yesterday afternoon.
"c i"irai questions concerning
the murder of her husband,, the Itcv
one answered questions concerning
Edward Wheeler Hull, nnd his choir
singer. Mrs. Eleaner Mills. It was
uer first interview. Her pose was that
of the utterly proper person. But the
impression she gave was of a woman
of stone.
A woman of stone', carved from mar
ble that is what she seemed when
she walked composedly into the recep
tion room and took her seat with quiet
finality.
Her answers were quite proper. She
could net conceive of Iter husband doing
any wrong, harboring n single wrong
thought. She could net speak ill of
Mrs. Mills or the minister could net
be thought of as having written these
love letters.
Hut beneath that cold, impassive ex
terler lay the woman Hull had called
