Description
In this treatment of the infamous Hall-Mills murders, historian Richard Sears Walling reveals for the very first time details not previously available. Witness statements and investigatory notes by detectives and New Jersey State Troopers reveal facts never entered into the trial of the accused murderers. The book also tells the story of two lovers, Reverend Edward Wheeler Hall and Eleanor Mills as told by Charlotte Mills, described as the living victim of this heinous crime. Also included is Detective George D. Totten's account of the 1922 investigation, which ended in no indictments against the muderers. Like so many others caught up in the web of lies and misdirection, solid clues and evidence were overlooked or ended up missing. Large amounts of money were paid to certain witnesses and, possibly, even to investigators. The author utilizes the historical method to tell a more complete and compelling story. In the end, Edward & Eleanor is about two lovers who were desperate to escape their narrow lives and create their own family in a far-away land. Charlotte was to have joined them, but an act of vicious anger cut them short. Discover the new clues and decide for yourself who committed the most infamous cold-case crime in American history.
