NEGROES
 KILLED HUBBY
Mrs. Lilliendahl Testifes that She and Beach
 Are Not Guilty

MAYS LANDING. N. Y., Dec. 6.-Garbed (. in her widows weeds. Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl told, between sobs, on the witness stand. her story of the manner in which two negroes killed her aged husband, with whose miir- der she is charged.
 Willis Beach. elderly chicken farmer, jointly charged with the widow and whose infatuation for her was put forward by the State as the motive for the crime, list ened to her testimony. which characterized him as innocent, with a twisted smile on his pallid lips.
 Cross examination of the wom- an was more dramatic than the direct testimony. She said she and her husband were driving along a wooded highway. very slowly, when suddenly two mask ed negroes boarded the automo- bile, one jumping on the run- ming board. She said her hus- band was pulled from the car. She heard a shot and then faint ed When she regained con- sciousness, she ran down the road and called for help.
 If blood was on her clothing after her husband was killed. it came from a nose bleed her son had and from mosquitoes she slapped as they stinged her and not from her husbands wounds. Mrs. Lilliendahl said.
 X Shc stuck to the story that two negroes slew her husband.
