PAVING BETWEEN 8TH AND NINTH ON MAIN WILL BE IMPROVED

Members of the board of works and citizens owning property, along Main street between Eighth and Ninth, discussed the proposal to relay the brick along that block, at the meeting Thursday. Work will be started this fall, in time for the paving to be used during the winter season, it was decided. : Plans of the city engineer are to have the brick in this paving, which was laid on a sand foundation taken

up and turned over. The brick will be laid in a new composition asphalt, and the performance of this type of paving will be carefully observed In the next few months, with a view to resurfacing the whole length of Main street in this way, if it is satisfactory. Objected at First Owners of property along the block affected appeared at the city hall Thursday to protest against the proposition on ,the ground that they would be taxed 'for an "experiment" in paving work. Their objections disappeared, however, when they were informed that the city would bear the

cost of the improvement and that they

would only be required to pay in case

it proved- successful, and it was decided to improve the other sections of Main street in the same manner. An agreement will be drawn up by the city attorney and presented to the owners of this property, asking that they agree to pay their portion of any future assessment if the city should desire to make an improvement along the whole street. Cost of the proposed work in the single block Is estimated at from $1,500 to $1,800. If successful, it means the city will be saved the cost of new brick. Opposed to Experiment. "I do not want to be placed in the position of opposing any improvements," said Lowell W. Cox, president of the Dickinson Trust company, "but the institution T represent does not feel that any money should be expended on Main street in an experimental way." Walker E. Land, president of the board, explained that it would not be fair for the city to pay for this one square, then assess property owners along other squares if it was decided to improve them. The city will pay the cost of the improvement at present, he said, and it will be classed as

street repair work. Then when the

entire street is improved, the property

owners on this block will be assessed

the same as the rest.

By FIX) RETT CE M. IfOHTH Attorney for Charlotta Mills. Written for The United Presa. (Copyright, 1923 by United Press.) NEW BRUNSWICK. X. J., Oct. 19.

I believe we know the murderer of

Mrs. Elanor Mills and Dr. Hall. It is the woman in gray.

This woman, dressed In a long gray

coat that fell to her ankles, was seen by witnesses at the spot where the bodies of the pastor and the sexton's wife were found, and was observed in

an automobile which I believe to have

been the death car. . Through the shadowy scenes at Phillips farm, on the eve of the tragedy when, unfortunately, witnesses minds were dulled because they had no inkling of the horror that was to

come there flits always the figure of this woman in gray. In whatever direction our search turns we find some mention of her. It is almost a certainty that in the blackness of the night

that engulfed the terrible scene of

that "double execution" in a vacant

building far from the farm, the woman

in gray struck down her victims. Seen at Farm. She was seen at Phillips farm

Thursday afternoon. ' To witnesses whose brains were not keyed to grasp

iitue details that now would be invaluable to us, she appeared to be pac

ing the little lane near which the bodies were found two nights later by

anotner pair of lovers.

She was seen, this woman in gray

in a closed motor car driving from the

scene that Thursday night. She is the woman who was jealous of Mrs. Mills'. She is the woman, Who, otherwise a highly respected member of her community, was transformed through jealous hatred into a fury, so that she slashed the throat of her pretty victim, who9 only - sin was loving too much the beautiful things of life, and the kindly man who could give them to her. Cannot Tell Name. I cannot tell her name yet. Our chain . of evidence lacks some links. She walks among us today, a free woman, behind a mask; her long gray

coat is discarded. Some day soon we

will put our hand on this woman's

shoulder and the wall of apparent innocence with which she has surround

ed herself will fall from her.

On the afternoon of Sept. 14, this woman, upon whom our growing chain of evidence is slowly but inevitably

fastening tlte guilt of the crime, was

seen, apparently measuring the diatance -from the barn to the Somerset county line. The murder was commit, ted in Middlesex county. The bodies were carefully taken to a spot just over the line in Somerset county. The center of official investigation was thus thrown miles away from the homes of the murderers. During the questioning of Mrs. Hall widow of the pastor, county authorities required her to put on a long gray coat, that a Hungarian woman witness might identify her if posible as the woman in grey. This the Hungarian woman failed to do. But some day we

will put that coat upon the right

woman. I have given; my theory of what

took place on the night of the crime;

of how the pastor and the choir sing

er were taken separately to a vacant

building, locked up; of how he was slain by accident after which, the woman was brutally murdered, in a fury of revenge. It appears that the authorities have -come to this view from today's news. This was not guess work on my part Inhabitants of a little colony near the scene of the murder have told me of hearing a commotion a muffled pounding, as if someone, locked up, trying eneffectnally to beat their way to freedom. These people live in a close drawn group of humble dwellings. They are clannish. If one were attacked, or if his house were being robbed, he would cry an alarm and all would flock to his protection. Hear Alarm

The alarm of this night, placed by

them at 10 o'clock, was sufficient to

cause them to put their heads out of

windows. They heard only the hope

less hammerings of one or perhaps both intended victims. . - They could not place the sound. The noise died away. They went back

to their beds, with no thought of" the

tragedy. Thus close did the murderers, "da group urged on by the worn an. in gray, come to discovery. But the last efforts of the -victims failed. They were slain, probably by a Maxim-silnced gun, for no shots were heard. The body of the pastor was cared for tenderly by the woman in gray. The body of Mrs. Millh was thrown roughly down. PILES!
