FRAUD CHARGE
May be Made Against Marine Hall
   WASHINGTON, Feb. 10—James Hall, the marine who made a bogus confession to the effect that he was the murderer of the unfortunately Anna Schumacher in the cemetery of Rochester, N.Y. is apt to pay dearly for his joke. He was turned over to the civil authorities by the naval commandant at Portsmouth, N.H. and taken to Rochester for trial by the civil authorities and soon after his arrival it was found that he had been working on a farm at the time of the murder. Now the Rochester authorities cannot hold him, but the navy department has rescinded the order for the immediate discharge of the man from the navy and he will be taken back to the prison ship at Portsmouth to serve out the unexpired portion of his sentence for enlisting under false pretenses. Moreover, it is probably that Hall will be tried on a fresh charge of practicing fraud against the navy.
