Duce. That was the ■ anßWer of Mussolini's worshipping followers to the latest attempt to ass- ! asslnate their leader. The plan Was simple—merely to ? I -make a part of the Fascist Ritual an 1 ■ oath in which every member would I ■ swear to sacrifice his life for the sake of the Premier. It was expected that at ’Yi'lay s meeting of the Fascist grand t ,until, the proposed oath would be ordered administered, and that there I 8! would be provisions for automatic j expulsion of any who would not com-, U ply. Such expulsion, it was explained,' would eliminate parasites and slackers from the Fascist organization. _ • —o I HOOSIER POET TO SPEAK HERE Barton Rees Pogue To Appear Here Monday Night At H. S.

HALL-MILLS CASE REACT FOR TRIAL AT SOMERVILLE Celebrated Murder Case Comes To Trial Four Years After Crime STATE HAS MUCH EVIDENCE READY 4 , - i United Press Staff Correspondent! Somerville, N. J., Nov. 2.—The celebrated Hall-Mills murder case at last was ready for trial today. Four years and 18 days after the pastor of the Episcopal church of St John the Devine in New Brunswick was found slain with his choir singer at the scene of their illicit Ipve meeting, the state was prepared to ask justice for the alleged slayers. The prosecution will attempt to prove that outraged relatives of the pastor murdered the lovers to end the disgrace tfiat their open affair was bringing on the family. Long Struggle Expected The trial, which opens in the Somerset county court house here tomoriow, promises to be a long and hard struggle. Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, the Pastor’s widow, and her brothers, Henry anti Willie Stevens, will be charged jointly with the murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills. The proud Stevens family with wealth at its command, will fight . with every legal weapon obtainable. | The state, represented by Alexander, Simpson, special prosecutor and noted lawyer, will present an amazing mass of evidence, gathered in a long and tedious investigation. The graves of the victims, have been ransacked again, years after burial for every scrap of evidence they might contain about how the lovers met I met death. Every resident of the adjoining counties of Somerset and Middlesex who might be presumed to know the lightest thing about the relations between Hall and Mrs. Mills has been guesciouea repeatedly.
