Page "Hall–Mills murder case" Paragraph 17

Famed attorney and liberal activist William M. Kunstler published a 1964 book titled The Minister and the Choir Singer, which he re-released with added editorial material in 1980 as The Hall-Mills Murders.

In his book, Kunstler theorized that the Ku Klux Klan had been responsible for the couple's demise, based on the facts that the Klan was a very violent organization and was active in New Jersey in the 1920s.

But he acknowledged that the Klan had not previously killed anyone in the state, and his reasons for thinking the group would target this particular couple were admittedly speculative.

Gerald Tomlinson's Fatal Tryst: Who Killed the Minister and the Choir Singer?

is the most detailed exploration of the case written to date and concludes that the Stevens siblings were the guilty parties.

Additional images and a more detailed account on the local perspective and effect on the once rural community of Franklin Township can be found in books written by William B. Brahms.

It has also been speculated that parts of the ending of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald were based on the Hall-Mills Case.
