Patrick Esau. local realtor. who is awaiting trial in the downtown po- lice jail. continues to maintain a fluid silence oouoeruing what he terms “scandahus lies." ' To the pointed question. “Are you guilty of the charge?" Ir. Keane would answer onlv indirectly. when he was interviewed by o. Sep- tinel reporter. "It is an out- rage." he said. “to kick a man o..ee he is down. The thing. that have and are being said about me are the words of prejudiced people. This should be taken into consider- atlou." As to the actual, charge that is made against him. Keane refused to comment. Shy of publicity. he on- pre-ed a desire that the incident be forgotten. "Scandal." he mused. "what is it in scandal that so later- osts people?" I am down. Can't it stop at. that?" Incident to a discussion which arose concerning the famous Hall- Mills murder trial in New Jersey. Mr. Keane said. "lots of money will do lots of things." A bond of 81.100 has not yet been furnished for Mr. Keane's release. Sleek. well-groomed. Mr. Keane rant smoking in his new home. this morning. his cultured voice ringing strangely against the bleak steel walls of the cell. There is a gleam of defiance in his eyes as he .con- llamas injustice. “The men who steals a penny." he said. "is'prose- outed. The man who takes a mll~ lion is allowed to enjoy it."

SOMERVILLE. N. J. (AP)— Clouds of argument hanging over the Hall-Mills case during the after- noon came to a head just before ad- journment and sent the trial into eclipse over Thanksgiving in a legal storm. Efforts by the defense to use Henry de la Bruyer Carpendcr as a witncm to discredit Mrs. Jane Gib- son's story told as a state witness precipitated a clash of lawyers that was not decided when court sus- pended for the holiday. Carpendcr. a New York broker. is a cousin of the three defendants on trial and is un- der indictment with them on a charge of murdering Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills. He is awaiting a separate trial. The defense planned to place in the record and before the jury his statement that he was not on the Phillips farm or Do Ruascy’e lane on the night of September it. 1022. when Mrs. Mills and the Rev. Ed- ward W. Hall were slain, through emphatic protests from the state. Justice Charles W. Parker. presid- ing. took the problem of the compo- tence of the testimony away with him. a decision being expected Fri- day when court reconvcnes. The state's objection was based on the fact that the witness is not a defendant in the present trial, al- though undcr indictment with the other defendant. Mrs. Frances Siev- ens Hail. widow of the slain clergy- man and her brothers. Henry and Willis Stevens. Another point stress- ed by the state was that Mrs. Gibson did not place Carpendcr at the scene in her- direct testimony but under cross examination. Insistance by the defense that the testimony is competent included a claim that the fact that Henry Car- pendcr has been identified by a state witness as "one of the men" at the scene of the double killing. left an opportunity to show a divergenc. iu the story by his testimony. The jury was sent from the room during the somewhat heated discus- sion of the lawyers. Carpendcr had answered but a few questions when his examination was suspended to give the lawyers the door. lie had said that he was not at the murder scene. as stated by Mrs. Gibson. and has not been in the heme of his cousin. Mrs. Hall. for several months prior to the death of her husband. Canvass of Vote In State Shows Salmon’s Strength IlAR‘l'FOth—Frcderick M.
