After years of investigating never in my career have, I investigated a case that I found, so heartbreaking. One the morning of September 16,1922 a couple found two people underneath a crabapple tree gruesomely and horribly murdered. The man was Edward Wheeler Hall a local pastor of the St. John's Episcopal Church. He was considered to be the pillar of the community of the town and was married to Mrs. Frances Hall. The woman who laid at his side was Elenor Mills a woman who singed in the church's congregation choir, she was married the church's sexton, Jimmy Mills. The two were involved in a relationship despite the marriages they were committed too. While going against their marriage vows was wrong as they lied and betrayed their wife and husband they did not deserve to die. To find the person or persons who committed this crime was easy to figure out but was hard due to everyone not wanting to choose the obvious answer. However, sometimes the obvious answer is usually the correct answer as all of the evidence and circumstances pointed toward that answer. In the end due to the evidence and given the I am forced to declare that the murderer of this crime was none other than Frances Hall.
The relationship between Hall and Mills was well known at the time as it was the greatest gossip of the town at the time. This fact alone tells us that this news being gossip Mrs. Hall would have likely one way or another would have heard about it. Another fact about this is that this woman is the only person who could possibly have a motive to kill the two, as she would have harbored anger toward Mr. Hall for betraying her and Mrs. Mills for taking her husband away from her Likewise for Mr. Mills. Next the way they were killed Mrs. Mills in particular, she was "had been shot three times in the head. one of the bullets entered the woman's forehead about two inches above the nose, another ploughed through the right cheek, and the third pierced the right temple. In addition, her throat had been cut so deeply that her jugular vein, windpipe, esophagus, and neck muscles were completely served, and her backbone could easily be seen". This particular way she was murdered heavily implies that this murder was in fact out of a personal grudge, and Mrs. Halls is the only one who could have a personal grudge against her.
While investigating I noticed the love letters that the two wrote to each other was also present at the crime scene. These love letters would also be another way that she found out about the relationship, and with those letters she could have devised a plan to commit the murder. However, in order to do this, she would require the letters from both parties to do this. It is highly likely that the other half of the letters from Mr. Jimmy Mills allowing her to devise this plan, this would in fact implement Mr. Mills in the case but given the straightforward wat Mr. Hall was killed it is not likely that he was the one who pulled the trigger. Also, on July 16, 1926, William Randolph Hearst's tabloid revealed shocking new evidence in the case say "HALL'S BRIEBERY REVEALED" and "MRS. HALL'S SPIES HELD TOWN IN TERROR. HOW HIDDEN HAND BALKED HALL MURDER JUSTICE''. This new evidence that was being brought to light reveals that she obviously had behind the scenes in order to turn the case in er favor.
In Conclusion, the murder of this case was in Mrs. Frances Steven Hall. Eventually on January 28, 1926, Mrs. Hall and her two brothers, Willie and Henry left to set sail for Europe. Why they leave so quickly after the murder unless of course they truly had something to hide or leaving was a desperate attempt to cover their tracks. Two days before the murder Ms. Gibson said she once heard "a bitter argument between two men and two women, one with white hair like Mrs. Hall's". She went on to say that she heard a woman yell "Explain these letters "followed by gunshots which was led up by a yell of "Henry". Given the circumstances of this entire case this heated argument was Mrs. Hall confronting the Edward and Ellena resulting in a gun fight. This is John Henrick saying..............................................
CASE CLOSED.
