Another Story Of Hall-Mills Murder Told DETROIT. Mich., June 8.—(UP) — Kenneth .Gladeau, an ex-convict now in the county jail, Saturday night declared he witnessed the shooting of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, near New Brunswick. N. J., on September 14. 1922. Gladeau is held In the county Jail here after having been arrested at Plymouth, Mich., May 2, by federal authorities. The story told by the prisoner compares in many details with that of Mrs. Jane Gibson as she told It on the witness stand. The main difference is that Gladeau claims to have followed the murder group and to have exacted $3,000 from them to keep silent. plan. He read one account stating Schall had announced he would switch. After both McKellar and Norris agreed they had no evidence to substantiate such charges, Schall said: *'I made no such statement— I believe the debenture provision Is the only part of the bill that will do what we promised for the farmers. I'm for the debenture plan and. If the house had a chance, I believe It would vote for it." Watson Bears Brunt Senator Watson, floor leader, bore the brunt of the revolters' attack Just before the close of the'1 day of debate, Norris and Smith of South Carolina drew from Watson a statement that he opposed the debenture because It was as subsidy. They then resurrected the record, showing Watson had voted for the ship subsidy In 1922. "Why didn't you use some statesmanship and suggest something to make your high tariff effective for the farmer?" Smith asked the leader, "Why should you be only destructive?" "If I, as a low tariff Democrat, can swallow my principles and agree to ths debenture, why can't you, as a high tariff Republican accept it when it does not violate your principles?" Watson contended Mr. Hoover had carried out every Republican farm relief pledge made in the campaign. Although Norris and Smith disputed him, Watson said the pending agreement would in part carry out that policy. The debate will be resumed Monday, This map gives you an accurate Idea of the vast expanse of territory to be explored by the expedition sponsored bv The Asheville Times and The Xew York Times.
