There were no developments today
in the Hall-Mills murder probe fol-
lowing the hold of Henry D. Car-

Senator Simpson said he had oth-
er evidence against the accused be-
yond that disclosed at the hearing.
In this evidence. it was learned. a
pistol found yesterday in Philadel-
phia played a part. This pistol was
said by Philadelphia police to be
linked with the case. It was a Span-
iall weapon of .25 calibre. The Sen-
ator said that an expert named
Waite, who participated in the orlgf-
na: investigation four years ago. had
said that Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills
were killed with a Vacation of Span-
ish make.
This expert did not specify then
the calibre of the weapon he had
in mind. Shells found when the
bodies were discovered beneath a
crubapple tree were of .32 calibre
made by the Peters Arms Company.
an‘ American firm. Bullets taken
from the body of Mrs. Mills Were
of the same weight. Some of the in-
vestigators raised the point that .32
calibre American ammunition might
be fired from a .25 calibre Spanish
automatic pistol. Detectio Lieuten-
nnt Walter Clccuich was sent. to
Philadelphia. to check-up on the pis-
tol found there. 9
William Wintrer. a chauffeur. said
he found the pistol in a room in a

occupied the adjoining room two or
three nights after the New Bruns-
wich crime. He overheard snatches
of conversation dealing with the
murders.
