One morning in September of 1922, Raymond Schneider and Pearl Bomber were heading to a well-known

Lover's Lane in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Future, birthplace of Roman Mars, but on this sad day under a crab apple tree they found another

couple lying in the grass. The man was dressed in a gray suit and his face was

covered with a Panama hat.

The woman lying next to him were a blue polka dotted dress.

A scarf covered her face.

Both had been shot dead, and love letters had been scattered over there

carefully posed bodies.

The slain man was Reverend Edward Wheeler Hall, the 41-year-old rector of the local church.

The woman was Eleanor Mills, a pretty 34-year-old who sang in the church choir.

Both were married, but not to each other.

The police heard a curious story from Jane Gibson,

a local pig farmer who claimed to have seen two men and two women arguing near the

apple tree the night of the murder, some 36 hours before the bodies were discovered.

She said she'd written out into the night on her mule, Jenny, because she thought she'd heard some corn thieves. Gibson, whom reporters dubbed The Pig Woman, claimed she saw the murdered man's wife, Francis Hall, at the scene of the crime.

The widow and her two brothers appeared to be prime suspects, but a grand jury failed to issue an indictment and years past.

In 1926, the New York Daily Mirror reported the existence of new evidence in the case.

The hints in the reporting of a cover-up created renewed pressure on the case.

Investigators took another look and a grand jury issued indictments against Hall's

widow and her two brothers.

All of them are charged with first-degree murder.

This was a tabloid ready case, a gruesome and staged murder scene
