Thanks for checking it out!

Very well done presentation Mickey. I live in Southern NJ and first read of this crime in a book many years ago. I am still intrigued by it and have recently been searching the internet for new info. My personal belief is that Francis Hall orchestrated the execution and utilized hit men. Lets face it, if you have enough money - and Mrs. Hall certainly did, you can afford a good hit man who will get the job done efficiently with no questions asked. Although I do not advocate adultery, I feel somewhat sad for Mrs. Mills. She apparently craved love and wasn't getting it at home and became fixated on the man she most admired. It is a well known fact that women are attracted to men who have high positions and money. The best portrait of her shows that she was a very attractive woman so it's not difficult to see how Rev Hall could weaken and have an affair with this pretty younger woman.

Thanks so much for the kind words! If you are still interested you really should check out that Facebook group, they have a lot of neat information about it. I think you very well could be right about your theory. If so, they got off and we may never get the real answers. Still a really interesting case nonetheless. Thanks for watching!

It's a "well known fact" that women are attracted to men who have high positions & money??? Really? Any link to these "factual" statistics about women??? And your standards for "pretty" are extremely low.

Thanks Mickey for the great story. Enjoyed l never heard of this

Thanks so much, I appreciate it!

....The jury got it wrong. [The accused were wealthy, influential residents who bought off witnesses.]

Due to the severe injuries to the woman, (much more than the Reverend) I'd say it was the woman's husband. With the love letters scattered about? Yes, that was an emotional, revenge killing.

But would a man have positioned the bodies like they were found? The scorned wife just as much could’ve placed her anger on the mistress which resulted in more injuries. I certainly think there was a level of emotion behind the scenes of this but I don’t think it’s about being a jilted jealous lover as much as it’s about humiliation and shame of having ‘the town talk’ about your spouse’s infidelity, being angry about that and deciding to ‘do’ something about it. One thing is for certain- the killers possession of the love letters (it’s highly doubtful the lovers carried them around with them everywhere-the letters most likely kept at home) points to it being someone who lived with either of the slain. I guess it depends where each kept their letters. I’d assume it was someplace private and enclosed. So, how else would a random killer had access to these letters!? It’s got to be someone with access. I heard BOTH recipient’s love letters were there…so that points to both spouses involved! The detective who first showed up on the scene must have assumed the same because he declared that the case wouldn’t take long at all to solve….yet it never was. I think witnesses were paid off and any other witnesses would’ve not wanted to speak up lest they also end up murdered. The bizarre pig woman witness and her mother’s equivalent weird behavior seems like a diversionary tactic to also lead to getting away with murder. ..in other words: Have yourself accused, then have that same witness (who spouts accurate description of the actual scene) start to showcase her proclivity to make stuff up. It squid inks everything and…. You can only be tried once for a charge. I think the whole thing was planned well before the murders took place.
