Died. William Carpender ("Crazy Willie") Stevens, 70, codefendant with Brother Henry, Sister Frances, in the famed Hall-Mills murder trial of 1926; eleven days after Sister Frances' death; in New Brunswick, N.J. The three defendants were acquitted of the Lovers' Lane murder of the sister's husband, the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, and his paramour, Mrs. Eleanor Mills. "Willie," a large, pudgy, fuzzy-haired, simple-minded bachelor who liked to wear a fireman's helmet and hang around the firehouse, was counted on by the prosecution to spoil the defense's case when he testified, but proved to be the most lucid of the witnesses. His death probably closed the unsolved case for good; Brother Henry died in 1939.
