	Crime History: Priest, Lover Found Dead By Scott McCabe Washington Examiner September 15, 2011 http://washingtonexaminer.com/local/crime-punishment/2011/09/crime-history-priest-lover-found-dead On this day, Sept. 16, in 1922, a young couple in New Jersey discovered the slain bodies of an Episcopal priest and a member of his choir with whom he was having an affair. The suspected killers were the priest's wife and her brothers. The victims, Edward Hall and Eleanor Mills, were both shot in the head. Her tongue had been cut out. Their bodies had been placed under a crabapple tree, side by side with torn-up love letters placed between their bodies. The case against Frances Noel Stevens Hall and her brothers fell apart during the monthlong trial when the key witness repeatedly changed her story. It's been speculated that parts of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald were based on the murders.
